Abstract：Objective To explore the mediating effect of parents' childbearing age on parents' socioeconomic status and children's problem behavior. Methods With a stratified cluster sampling method, a total of 834 students and their parents from two kindergartens and grades 1-3 of two primary schools in Bengbu City were selected as research subjects for a questionnaire survey. The children's problem behavior was assessed by the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, while their parents' socioeconomic status was evaluated by Social Economic Statues. Multiple linear regression and Bootstrap method were used to construct and test the mediating effect of parental childbearing age on parents' socioeconomic status and children's problembehavior. Results Mothers' socioeconomic status (β=-0.109, P=0.003) and childbearing age (β=-0.096, P=0.007) were negatively correlated with children's hyperactivity-inattention, while mothers' socioeconomic status was positively correlated with mothers's childbearing age (β=0.236, P<0.001). The partial mediating effect of mother's childbearing age on mother's socioeconomic status and children's hyperactivity-inattention was -0.059 (95%CI:-0.110--0.018, P=0.007). Conclusion A higher maternal socioeconomic status can reduce the occurrence of hyperactivity-inattention in children. Parents should improve their own education level and pay attention to their children's problem behavior while striving hard to improve their family income.
