Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the latent category characteristics of lifestyle habits of adolescents aged 12-18 years, and to explore its relationship with obesity.
Methods:Data of 3 252 adolescents aged 12-18 years in the established China Nutrition and Health Survey were used for this study. The contents of the survey include basic situation, living habits, and body mass index. Latent category analysis was performed on 11 lifestyle habits on eating and exercise. Chi square test was used to explore the relationship between the potential categories of lifestyle habits and obesity.
Results:All the participants were classified into 3 categories:mixed ( n =1 092, 35.58%), passive ( n =765, 23.52%), and healthy ( n =1 395, 42.90%) groups. Body mass index showed significant differences across three categories ( χ 2=19.66, P ＜0.01). In the BMI classification of adolescents, the healthy type has the highest proportion in the light type, overweight type and obesity type(41.61%,47.87%,50.00%).
Conclusion:The lifestyle habits of adolescents aged 12-18 years show obvious classification characteristics, which have different correlations with obesity. Targeted interventions should be carried out according to the characteristics of lifestyle habits under different body mass index.
