Mothers' PIU may lead to inadequate parenting and child abuse.
Objective: This cross-sectional study aimed to clarify the association between mothers' PIU and their recognition of child abuse.
Participants and setting: We analyzed data collected of health examinations of children aged 4 months, 1.5 years, and 3 years which were carried out in Matsue City, Shimane Prefecture, Japan between April 2016 and March 2017. The number of the subjects were 1685, 1729, 1674, respectively.
Methods: We used logistic regression analysis to clarify the association between mothers' PIU (Young's Diagnostic Questionnaire for Internet Addiction score: ?5) and their recognition of child abuse (selecting < True of me > for < I sometimes think that I am abusing my child > on a questionnaire survey), which was adjusted for covariates such as maternal age, number of children, daytime caretaker, social support, postpartum depression, and current smoking status of the parents.
Results: Based on the multivariate logistic regression analysis, the mothers' PIU was significantly correlated with their recognition of child abuse for children aged 4 months, 1.5 years, or 3 years [odds ratio (OR): 13.30, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.26-139.98, OR: 7.02, 95% CI: 1.28-38.55, and OR: 28.06, 2.48-317.93, respectively].
Conclusion: This study revealed the possibility that mothers with PIU recognize child abuse more than mothers without PIU. However, further studies should be conducted to increase reliability and validity. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=SakakiharaAya en-aut-sei=Sakakihara en-aut-mei=Aya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=HagaChiyori en-aut-sei=Haga en-aut-mei=Chiyori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KinjoAya en-aut-sei=Kinjo en-aut-mei=Aya kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=OsakiYoneatsu en-aut-sei=Osaki en-aut-mei=Yoneatsu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Community Health Nursing, Faculty of Medicine, Shimane University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Community Health Nursing, Graduate School of Health Sciences, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Division of Environmental and Preventive Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University kn-affil= affil-num=4 en-affil=Division of Environmental and Preventive Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University kn-affil= en-keyword=Child abuse kn-keyword=Child abuse en-keyword=Parenting anxiety kn-keyword=Parenting anxiety en-keyword=Parenting burden kn-keyword=Parenting burden en-keyword=Problematic Internet use kn-keyword=Problematic Internet use en-keyword=Recognition of child abuse kn-keyword=Recognition of child abuse END start-ver=1.4 cd-journal=joma no-vol=7 cd-vols= no-issue=12 article-no= start-page= end-page= dt-received= dt-revised= dt-accepted= dt-pub-year=2012 dt-pub=20121213 dt-online= en-article= kn-article= en-subject= kn-subject= en-title= kn-title=Developmental Trajectories of Body Mass Index Among Japanese Children and Impact of Maternal Factors during Pregnancy en-subtitle= kn-subtitle= en-abstract= kn-abstract=Background The aims of this study were to 1) determine the distinct patterns of body mass index (BMI) trajectories in Japanese children, and 2) elucidate the maternal factors during pregnancy, which contribute to the determination of those patterns. Methodology/Principal Findings All of the children (1,644 individuals) born in Koshu City, Japan, between 1991 and 1998 were followed in a longitudinal study exploring the subjectsf BMI. The BMI was calculated 11 times for each child between birth and 12 years of age. Exploratory latent class growth analyses were conducted to identify trajectory patterns of the BMI z-scores. The distribution of BMI trajectories were best characterized by a five-group model for boys and a six-group model for girls. The groups were named gstable thin,h gstable average,h gstable high average,h gprogressive overweight,h and gprogressive obesityh in both sexes; girls were allocated to an additional group called gprogressive average.h Multinomial logistic regression found that maternal weight, smoking, and skipping breakfast during pregnancy were associated with children included in the progressive obesity pattern rather than the stable average pattern. These associations were stronger for boys than for girls. Conclusions/Significance Multiple developmental patterns in Japanese boys and girls were identified, some of which have not been identified in Western countries. Maternal BMI and some unfavorable behaviors during early pregnancy may impact a childfs pattern of body mass development. Further studies to explain the gender and regional differences that were identified are warranted, as these may be important for early life prevention of weight-associated health problems. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=HagaChiyori en-aut-sei=Haga en-aut-mei=Chiyori kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=KondoNaoki en-aut-sei=Kondo en-aut-mei=Naoki kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=SuzukiKohta en-aut-sei=Suzuki en-aut-mei=Kohta kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= en-aut-name=SatoMiri en-aut-sei=Sato en-aut-mei=Miri kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=4 ORCID= en-aut-name=AndoDaisuke en-aut-sei=Ando en-aut-mei=Daisuke kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=5 ORCID= en-aut-name=YokomichiHiroshi en-aut-sei=Yokomichi en-aut-mei=Hiroshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=6 ORCID= en-aut-name=TanakaTaichiro en-aut-sei=Tanaka en-aut-mei=Taichiro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=7 ORCID= en-aut-name=YamagataZentaro en-aut-sei=Yamagata en-aut-mei=Zentaro kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=8 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil= kn-affil=Univ Yamanashi, Interdisciplinary Grad Sch Med & Engn, Dept Hlth Sci affil-num=2 en-affil= kn-affil=Univ Yamanashi, Interdisciplinary Grad Sch Med & Engn, Dept Hlth Sci affil-num=3 en-affil= kn-affil=Univ Yamanashi, Interdisciplinary Grad Sch Med & Engn, Dept Hlth Sci affil-num=4 en-affil= kn-affil=Univ Yamanashi, Interdisciplinary Grad Sch Med & Engn, Dept Hlth Sci affil-num=5 en-affil= kn-affil=Natl Def Acad, Dept Phys Educ affil-num=6 en-affil= kn-affil=Univ Yamanashi, Interdisciplinary Grad Sch Med & Engn, Dept Hlth Sci affil-num=7 en-affil= kn-affil=Toho Univ, Fac Med, Dept Environm & Occupat Hlth affil-num=8 en-affil= kn-affil=Univ Yamanashi, Interdisciplinary Grad Sch Med & Engn, Dept Hlth Sci END
