ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

Behavioral problems among preschool children affect the quality of life in childhood, and it may predict psychiatric disorders in adulthood.

OBJECTIVE:

To investigate the correlation of behavioral problem occurrence with gender and breastfeeding in children aged 4-5 years old.

DESIGN:

A stratified random cluster sampling investigation.

SETTING:

Department of Child Health Care,Affiliated Hospital of Medical College of Qingdao University,and Department of Preventive Medicine, Medical College of Qingdao University.

PARTICIPANTS:

Totally 600 children (301 boys and 299 girls) aged4-5 years old from 10 kindergartens in 4 districts in Qingdao city were chosen by stratified random cluster sampling during May in 2004.They. all used to be full-term infants of natural labor.

METHODS:

Achenbach Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) for parents and self-made inventory scale influencing children's behavior were adopted. Behavioral problems were dependent variables whereas feeding category and breastfeeding duration were independent variables. The effects of feeding category in the first 4 months of life and breastfeeding duration on children's behavior were examined by single factor and multiple factors logistic regression (backward selection).MAIN OUTCOME

MEASURES:

Breastfeeding condition, breastfeeding duration and behavioral development.

RESULTS:

According to intention-processing analysis, 600 children 14.2% (85/600) among the 600 children investigated. It was 17.94%(54/301) in males and 10.4% (31/299) in females,with a significant indicated that boys who had been fed on "more infant formula than problem occurrence (OR=2.72,4.29). Breastfeeding duration ≥9months was a protective factor for males (OR=0.43) Girls who feeding duration < 1 month had a risk of behavioral problem ocfeeding duration were set as independent variables and with or without behavioral problems was set as dependent variable to perform multiand breastfeeding duration ≥ 9 months were the risk factors and protective factors of behavioral problem occurrence for males (OR=3.76,ioral problem occurrence for females (OR=2.55,7.79,7.79), which were tective factors of behavioral problem occurrence for males (OR=3.48,behavioral problem occurrence for females ( OR=2.49,9.81,12.89).

CONCLUSION:

Male is a risk factor of behavioral problems;less breastfeeding and shorter breastfeeding duration are the risk factors of behavioral problem occurrence in children aged 4 to 5 years.
