To explore the relationship that parental dieting behavior (e.g., dieting, encouragement to diet, weight-teasing) has on child dieting behavior and weight status.
Encouragement to diet and weight-teasing are both strong predictors of child dieting behavior in both childhood and adolescence. The impact of parent modeling of dieting behavior on child dieting behavior is mixed, but there is enough evidence to suggest that modeling is more impactful on daughters than sons and when parents are modeling unhealthy and extreme weight control behaviors (e.g., skipping meals). Parental dieting, both via modeling and increased use of encouragement to diet and weight-teasing, is associated with negative child eating and weight outcomes. Parental use of direct communication surrounding weight appears to be a more salient risk factor than parental modeling of dieting behavior. Future work is needed to develop strategies for parents to lower their child's risk of dieting.
目的综述：探讨父母节食行为（如节食、鼓励节食、体重调侃）与儿童节食行为和体重状况之间的关系。
最近发现：鼓励节食和体重调侃都是儿童和青少年节食行为的强有力预测因素。父母节食行为的榜样作用对儿童节食行为的影响是复杂的，但有足够的证据表明，这种榜样作用对女儿的影响比对儿子的影响更大，尤其是当父母模仿不健康和极端的体重控制行为（如不吃饭）时。父母通过榜样作用以及更多地鼓励节食和体重调侃，与儿童不良的饮食和体重结果有关。父母直接围绕体重进行沟通似乎比父母节食行为的榜样作用更能成为一个显著的风险因素。未来需要进一步研究制定策略，降低父母子女节食的风险。
