Some studies have reported a positive parent-child association between physical activity (PA), but few have examined the difference in these associations concerning both genders. The objective of this study was to establish the association between moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and mode of commuting (MC) of the parents with their children by gender and age group.
This cross-sectional study included 686 mothers and fathers (43.4 ± 6.5 years old) and their children (children 9.7 ± 1.7 y. and adolescents 14.0 ± 1.7 y.). Each participant completed a questionnaire on PA and MC. Chi-square test, odds ratio for categorical variables, and lineal regressions for continuous variables were used to examine the parent-child associations.
An inverse association was found between fathers-children in the weekend MVPA in children and between mothers-adolescents in out-of-school and weekend MVPA. An inverse association was found in MVPA between mothers-girls, and the different parents' MC to work was positively associated with the MC to school in children and adolescents except for the association AC parents-adolescents. The AC was mainly associated between mothers and girls and boys.
A weak association in parent-child MVPA but a strong association in MC between parent-child was found.
一些研究报告了体力活动(PA)与亲子之间的积极关联,但很少有研究检验这些关联在性别和年龄组方面的差异。本研究的目的是确定父母的中高强度体力活动(MVPA)和通勤方式(MC)与子女之间的关联,按性别和年龄组进行分析。
本横断面研究纳入了 686 名母亲和父亲(43.4±6.5 岁)及其子女(儿童 9.7±1.7 岁,青少年 14.0±1.7 岁)。每位参与者都完成了一份关于 PA 和 MC 的问卷。采用卡方检验、分类变量的优势比和连续变量的线性回归来检验亲子关联。
周末 MVPA 与儿童的父亲-子女之间以及校外和周末 MVPA 与青少年的母亲-子女之间存在负向关联。母亲-女孩之间的 MVPA 呈负相关,父母-子女的不同 MC 到工作与儿童和青少年的 MC 到学校呈正相关,除了 AC 父母-青少年的关联除外。AC 主要存在于母亲和女孩以及男孩之间。
发现亲子间 MVPA 的关联较弱,但 MC 之间的关联较强。
