This study examines the interactions among family meals, parental discipline practices, ethnicity, and acculturation on weight status change in a diverse sample of early-adolescents. Data were obtained from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Kindergarten Cohort (ECLS-K), a nationally representative sample of children who entered kindergarten during 1998-1999. In fifth grade, parents reported on child and household routines. In fifth and eighth grade, children were weighed and measured at school. Above and beyond covariates, less acculturated Hispanic adolescents who ate more family meals and experienced low parental behavioral control in fifth grade were less likely to make a healthy change (γ = -0.15, OR = 0.86, p < 0.05) and more likely to make an unhealthy change (γ = 0.32, OR = 1.38, p < 0.05) in their weight status by eighth grade, when compared to White Non-Hispanic adolescents. The implications of interactions among family meals, parental discipline practices, and healthy weight promotion are discussed in the context of ethnicity and acculturation.
本研究考察了家庭用餐、父母管教方式、种族和文化适应对不同样本的青少年早期体重状况变化的相互作用。数据来自儿童早期纵向研究——幼儿园队列（ECLS-K），这是一个具有全国代表性的样本，包含1998 - 1999年进入幼儿园的儿童。在五年级时，父母报告孩子和家庭日常情况。在五年级和八年级时，孩子们在学校进行体重和身高测量。除协变量外，与非西班牙裔白人青少年相比，较少文化适应的西班牙裔青少年在五年级时家庭用餐次数较多且父母行为控制较低，到八年级时体重状况更不可能出现健康变化（γ = -0.15，OR = 0.86，p < 0.05），且更有可能出现不健康变化（γ = 0.32，OR = 1.38，p < 0.05）。本文在种族和文化适应的背景下讨论了家庭用餐、父母管教方式和健康体重促进之间相互作用的影响。
