Our objective was to examine the lifestyle behaviors of parents of children in pediatric weight management.
Parents were recruited upon presentation of their children (body mass index [BMI] ≥85th percentile) to a pediatric weight management clinic. Parents' demographic, anthropometric, and lifestyle habit data were collected by self-report. Parents were grouped into weight status categories based on their BMIs; lifestyle data were compared across BMI categories and to national recommendations.
Parents (n = 266; 84% women; BMI, mean ± SD, 31.8 ± 7.2 kg/m(2)) were predominantly overweight/obese (82%), and most did not meet dietary recommendations (71%). Healthy-weight parents reported more daily steps versus parents who were overweight/obese (all P < .05). Most parents (~60%) met guidelines for physical activity, sedentary activity, and sleep.
The high prevalence of overweight and obesity combined with suboptimal dietary behaviors highlight the need to address both children's and parents' lifestyle habits in pediatric weight management.
我们的目的是研究儿科体重管理中儿童家长的生活方式行为。
在儿童(体重指数[BMI]≥第85百分位数)到儿科体重管理诊所就诊时招募家长。通过自我报告收集家长的人口统计学、人体测量学和生活方式习惯数据。根据家长的BMI将其分为不同的体重状况类别;对不同BMI类别的生活方式数据进行比较,并与国家建议进行对比。
家长(n = 266;84%为女性;BMI,均值±标准差,31.8±7.2 kg/m²)大多超重/肥胖(82%),且大多数人未达到饮食建议(71%)。体重正常的家长报告的每日步数多于超重/肥胖的家长(所有P < .05)。大多数家长(约60%)符合身体活动、久坐活动和睡眠的指南。
超重和肥胖的高患病率以及不理想的饮食行为凸显了在儿科体重管理中同时解决儿童和家长生活方式习惯问题的必要性。
