Abstract*Background: Anxiety and obesity can have negative impacts on the health of children. Understanding the relationship between obesity and mental disorders in children and adolescents will help develop effective prevention and intervention strategies. This research investigates the impact of anxiety-related emotional disorders and self-esteem on obesity among Chinese children aged 6-12 in Anhui Province. Methods: Utilizing a non-experimental, cross-sectional study design, data were from 136 participants collected through standardized instrument measures from Chinese children: the " Chinese screening for overweight and obesity among school-age children and adolescents" in the "Health Industry Standards of the People's Republic of China" as the standard for identifying obesity, the Screen for Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED) for assessing anxiety disorder, and the Children's Self-Esteem Scale (CSES) for evaluating self-esteem. Statistical analysis, including descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analyses was performed using SPSS version 26 to determine the predictive relationships between the variables. Results: The analysis revealed that anxiety-related emotional disorders and self-esteem contribute significantly to the prediction of obesity among Chinese children, accounting for a 13.7% variance. The study highlights the critical roles of anxiety-related emotional disorders and self-esteem in determining children’s obesity. It suggests that underscores the necessity for comprehensive interventions that address both physical and mental health aspects to combat childhood obesity effectively. The study concludes that addressing anxiety and self-esteem is essential for developing effective strategies to reduce obesity rates among Chinese children, meeting the research objectives, and contributing to the development of holistic health programs for children’s well-being.

摘要*研究背景：焦虑与肥胖均可对儿童健康造成不良影响。厘清儿童与青少年肥胖与精神障碍之间的关联，有助于制定有效的预防与干预策略。本研究针对安徽省6-12岁中国儿童，探讨焦虑相关情绪障碍与自尊水平对其肥胖状况的影响。研究方法：本研究采用非实验性横断面研究设计，通过标准化测评工具采集136名中国儿童的相关数据，所用工具包括：纳入《中华人民共和国卫生行业标准》的“学龄儿童青少年超重与肥胖筛查”作为肥胖判定标准；焦虑相关情绪障碍筛查表（Screen for Anxiety-Related Emotional Disorders, SCARED）用于评估焦虑障碍；儿童自尊量表（Children's Self-Esteem Scale, CSES）用于评估自尊水平。本研究采用SPSS 26.0软件开展统计学分析，涵盖描述性统计、Pearson相关分析及多元回归分析，以明确各变量间的预测关联。研究结果：分析显示，焦虑相关情绪障碍与自尊水平可显著预测中国儿童的肥胖状况，可解释13.7%的变异量。本研究凸显了焦虑相关情绪障碍与自尊水平在儿童肥胖发生发展中的关键作用，强调需采取兼顾身心健康的综合干预措施，方能有效遏制儿童肥胖问题。本研究最终得出结论：关注焦虑状况与自尊水平，对于制定有效策略以降低中国儿童肥胖率至关重要，本研究达成既定研究目标，可为助力儿童健康福祉的整体健康项目发展作出贡献。
