Abstract

This study aims to investigate the sleep duration of preschool children in Longgui Street during early childhood (1-2 years) and other related data, to evaluate whether early childhood sleep duration is a risk factor for obesity in preschool children, thereby providing a reference for the prevention of childhood obesity. Using BMI exceeding 25 as the criterion for identifying obese children, this study employed cluster sampling, setting up a control group and an obese children group, and recruited 1281 children aged 5-6 years from Longgui Street through questionnaire surveys. The research outcomes aim to explore whether early childhood sleep duration is a risk factor for obesity in preschool children.
