For this cross-sectional study, we had access to a database managed by a Municipal Health Service Department in the Netherlands. In total, 4,865 parents with children 4-12 years of age participated in this survey and completed a standardized questionnaire. Parents classified their consistency of applying rules as \"strict\", \"indulgent\", or \"no rules\". Typologies were identified using latent class analyses. We used regression analyses to examine how the typologies differed with respect to the covariates socio-demographic characteristics, children\'s energy balance-related behaviors, and weight status.
We identified four stable, distinct parental typologies with respect to applying dietary and sedentary behavior rules. Overall, we found that parents who apply \"overall strict EBRB rules\" had the highest level of education and that their children practiced healthier behaviors compared to the children of parents in the other three classes. In addition, we found that parents who apply \"indulgent dietary rules and no sedentary rules\" had the lowest level of education and the highest percentage of non-Caucasians; in addition, their children 8-12 years of age had the highest likelihood of being overweight compared to children of parents with \"no dietary rules\".
Parents\' consistency in applying rules regarding dietary and sedentary behaviors was associated with parents\' level of education and ethnic background, as well as with children\'s dietary and sedentary behaviors and their likelihood of becoming overweight. Our results may contribute to helping make healthcare professionals aware that children of parents who do not apply sedentary behavior rules are more likely to become overweight, as well as the importance of encouraging parents to apply strict dietary and sedentary behavior rules. These results can serve as a starting point for developing effective strategies to prevent overweight among children.
对于这项横断面研究,我们可以访问由荷兰市政卫生服务部门管理的数据库。总的来说,4,865名4-12岁儿童的父母参加了这项调查,并完成了标准化问卷。父母将其应用规则的一致性归类为“严格”,\"放纵\",或“没有规则”。使用潜在的类分析来识别类型。我们使用回归分析来检查类型在协变量社会人口统计学特征方面的差异,儿童的能量平衡相关行为,和体重状态。
我们确定了四个稳定的,关于应用饮食和久坐行为规则的不同父母类型。总的来说,我们发现,采用“全面严格的EBRB规则”的父母的教育水平最高,与其他三个班级的父母的孩子相比,他们的孩子的行为更健康。此外,我们发现,采用“放纵饮食规则和没有久坐规则”的父母受教育程度最低,非高加索人的比例最高;此外,与“没有饮食规则”的父母的孩子相比,他们8-12岁的孩子超重的可能性最高。
父母在饮食和久坐行为方面应用规则的一致性与父母的教育水平和种族背景有关,以及儿童的饮食和久坐行为以及他们超重的可能性。我们的结果可能有助于帮助医疗保健专业人员意识到,不适用久坐行为规则的父母的孩子更有可能变得超重,以及鼓励父母应用严格的饮食和久坐行为规则的重要性。这些结果可以作为制定预防儿童超重的有效策略的起点。
