Abstract

|
|
This study examined the effect of children¡¯s flourishing on the pandemic of obesity from various aspects such as age, gender, race, family, school, and community. By using a subsample of the 2011?2012 National Survey of Children¡¯s Health, the Flourishing scale analyses were performed with a total of 45,309 children. Childhood obesity was diagnosed by calculating the percentile of the body mass index. Hispanic Americans were more likely to be overweight (P<0.01). Nonoverweight children were more likely to participate in after-school activities, less likely to have sedentary behavior, more likely to miss school, to be more active, and had more of flourishing than their counterpart (P<0.01). Parent¡¯s marital and health status also positively affect children¡¯s obesity status (P<0.01). Social capital and neighbor amenities significantly affect children¡¯s weight status (P<0.01). A multifaceted understanding of the role of family, school, and community (with proving children¡¯s flourishing environment) in terms of how and what could contribute to children¡¯s obesity status is important in order to bring about positive impact.
