    Antecedentes/objetivo: Los niños con sobrepeso y obesos experimentan problemas de salud con un impacto negativo en su bienestar psicológico y calidad de vida (CV). Las medidas genéricas (Kid-KINDL y PedsQL) y las relacionadas con el peso (Sizing Me Up) son las principales modalidades de instrumentos de medición de la CV; sin embargo, poco se sabe acerca de las diferencias entre ellos. Método: Reclutamos 569 niños de 3º a 6º Grado de once escuelas en el sur de Taiwán. Además de los tres cuestionarios de CV, se aplicó el Inventario de Depresión Infantil y la Escala de Autoestima de Rosenberg. Resultados: La depresión presenta la relación más fuerte con Kid-KINDL, mientras que tiene una asociación negativa con Sizing Me Up. La autoestima sólo se relacionó con Kid-KINDL. Sizing Me Up presentó una relación significativamente más fuerte con el Índice de Masa Corporal que con PedsQL y Kid-KINDL. Conclusiones: El estudio identificó las características e intensidad de estas medidas de CV de cara a mejores sugerencias sobre la evaluación de problemas físicos y psicológicos en niños con sobrepeso/obesidad.

    Background/Objective: Overweight and obese children are likely to encounter negative impact on psychological well-being and quality of life (QoL). Hence, for overweight and obese children, measuring QoL could go beyond simply assessing objective medical parameters and cover their physical health, psychological well-being, and social interaction. Generic (Kid-KINDL and Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory [PedsQL]) and weight-related (Sizing Me Up) measures are two major types of QoL measurement instruments; however, little is known about the differences between them. Method: We recruited 569 3rd to 6th graders from eleven schools in Southern Taiwan. In addition to the three QoL questionnaires, the Child Depression Inventory and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were applied. Results: Depression had significantly negative associations with all three QoL questionnaires. Self-esteem was only associated with Kid-KINDL. Body mass index had a significantly stronger relationship with Sizing Me Up than its relationships with PedsQL and Kid-KINDL. In other words, the items related to body size concerns in Size Me Up significantly contributed to impaired overweight/obese children’s QoL. Conclusions: The study further identified the characters and strength of these QoL measures for better suggestions on evaluating physical and psychological issues for overweight/obese children.
