There is a paucity of research exploring individuals' memories of parental dieting behavior, engagement in "fat talk", or criticism of weight or eating behavior in childhood. This exploratory study utilized a community sample to further characterize the retrospective report of parenting dieting behavior.
A total of 507 participants (78.1% females; 20.7% males; and 1.2% transgender) were recruited to participate in an online, self-administered survey.
Forty percent (216) of participants reported maternal dieting in their family of origin and 34% (182) reported maternal fat talk, 24% (120) reported paternal dieting, and 11% recalled paternal 'fat talk' (58). Subgroup analyses suggest that both male and female participants had greater odds of remembering maternal rather than paternal weight or shape criticism and encouragement to diet (OR = 58.1; and OR = 3.12; p < 0.0001 for male and female participants, respectively). Retrospective report of indirect parental behaviors (e.g. parental dieting) also appears to be associated with direct parental behaviors (e.g. encouraging children to diet). Additionally, participants who recalled maternal encouragement to diet reported a significantly higher adult BMI (β = 1.31, SE = 0.32, p < 0.0001).
Results provide preliminary evidence that a sizeable percentage of both adult male and female participants recalled that their parents engaged in fat talk and dieting. In addition, participants recalled parental criticism of their own weight or eating behaviors, which was associated with recall of parental dieting and fat talk.

探索个体对父母节食行为、参与“胖语”或童年时期对体重或饮食行为批评的记忆的研究较少。这项探索性研究利用社区样本进一步描述父母节食行为的回顾性报告。
共招募了507名参与者（78.1%为女性；20.7%为男性；1.2%为跨性别者）参与一项在线自填式调查。
40%（216名）参与者报告其原生家庭中有母亲节食，34%（182名）报告有母亲说“胖语”，24%（120名）报告有父亲节食，11%回忆起父亲说“胖语”（58名）。亚组分析表明，男性和女性参与者记住母亲而非父亲对体重或体型的批评以及节食鼓励的几率更高（男性参与者OR = 58.1；女性参与者OR = 3.12；p分别<0.0001）。父母间接行为（如父母节食）的回顾性报告似乎也与父母直接行为（如鼓励孩子节食）相关。此外，回忆起母亲鼓励节食的参与者报告的成人BMI显著更高（β = 1.31，SE = 0.32，p < 0.0001）。
结果提供了初步证据，表明相当比例的成年男性和女性参与者回忆起他们的父母参与了“胖语”和节食。此外，参与者回忆起父母对他们自己体重或饮食行为的批评，这与回忆起父母节食和“胖语”有关。
