米国では子どもの5人に1人が肥満で、早期の体重増加は慢性疾患のリスクを高める。ペンシルベニア州立大学などの研究チームは、乳児期に「反応的育児(responsive parenting)」を指導された母親が、子どもの欲求や疲労のサインをより適切に認識し、過食を避けるなど肥満関連行動を減らせることを示した。低所得世帯288組を対象としたWEE Baby Care試験では、授乳・睡眠・遊び・情緒対応について6か月間指導を実施。その結果、母親は乳児に完食を強制する、夜更かしをさせる、授乳中にスマホを使うといった行動が減少。2か月時点で肥満促進行動スコアは有意に低下した。

応答的な子育ては、小児肥満に関連する行動の軽減に役立つ可能性がある(Responsive parenting may help reduce behaviors linked to childhood obesity)

Summary

Background

Integrating health care and social care presents opportunities to deliver responsive parenting (RP) interventions for childhood obesity prevention.

Objectives

This analysis examined the effect of an integrated RP intervention on infant obesogenic risk behaviours.

Methods

This secondary analysis included 228 mother–infant dyads in the Women, Infants, and Children Enhancements to Early Healthy Lifestyles for Baby (WEE Baby) Care study, a pragmatic randomized clinical trial that integrated care between paediatric clinicians and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) nutritionists to encourage RP. Mothers were randomized to a 6-month RP intervention or standard care. The Early Healthy Lifestyle risk assessment tool was completed at infant ages 2 and 6 months. Logistic regression examined study group effects on obesogenic risk behaviours, while t-tests assessed study group effects on a total obesogenic risk behaviour score. Models adjusted for milk type and parity.

Results

RP mothers were less likely to report nighttime feedings at 2 (adjusted odds ratio [aOR] 0.21, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.07–0.62) and 6 months (aOR 0.36, 95% CI 0.16–0.81); pressure to finish the bottle (aOR 0.53, 95% CI 0.30–0.93) and using screens when feeding/playing at 2 months (aOR 0.34, 95% CI 0.17–0.67); and putting their infant to bed after 8:00 PM at 6 months (aOR 0.46, 95% CI 0.21–0.97). RP mothers had significantly lower obesogenic risk behaviour scores at 2 months (p = 0.009) but not at 6 months (p = 0.06) compared to standard care.

Conclusions

The WEE Baby Care intervention decreased some obesogenic risk behaviours among WIC mother–infant dyads. Integrated care in health and social settings can be used to provide patient-centred RP guidance to improve early obesogenic risk behaviours in high-risk populations.
