This study sought to determine the association between mother-daughter resemblance in body mass index (BMI) and obesity-related behaviors and whether connectedness moderated those associations.
Seventy-six girl scouts (ages 9 to 13 years) were objectively assessed for BMI and surveyed via questionnaire. Sixty-eight parents also completed questionnaires assessing height, weight, and obesity-related behaviors.
Significant relationships were found for television viewing (beta = .351, p = .002), eating while watching television (beta = .468, p < .001), fruit consumption (beta = .374, p = .005) and vegetable consumption (beta = .243, p = .050). Connectedness moderated the maternal BMI and daughter BMI Z-score relationship (beta = .307, p = .026), and mother-daughter TV viewing (beta = .258, p = .043).
Connectedness may influence girls' BMI and behavioral resemblance to mothers. Specific pathways leading to greater similarity between parent and child relative weight need further study.
本研究旨在确定母女在体重指数（BMI）和肥胖相关行为上的相似性之间的关联，以及亲子关系是否会调节这些关联。
对76名女童军（年龄9至13岁）进行了BMI的客观评估，并通过问卷调查进行了调查。68名家长也完成了评估身高、体重和肥胖相关行为的问卷。
在看电视（β = 0.351，p = 0.002）、边看电视边吃东西（β = 0.468，p < 0.001）、水果摄入量（β = 0.374，p = 0.005）和蔬菜摄入量（β = 0.243，p = 0.050）方面发现了显著关系。亲子关系调节了母亲BMI与女儿BMI Z评分之间的关系（β = 0.307，p = 0.026），以及母女看电视的情况（β = 0.258，p = 0.043）。
亲子关系可能会影响女孩的BMI以及与母亲在行为上的相似性。导致亲子相对体重之间更高相似性的具体途径需要进一步研究。
