It is hypothesized that children's habits can be modulated by their parent's lifestyle. However, it is still not established whether the relationship between cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) in adolescents and their parents could be attenuated by parental physical activity levels.
This study aimed to analyze the relationship of CVRF between adolescents and their parents according to parental physical activity level.
A school-based sample of 1231 adolescents, 1202 mothers and 871 fathers were included ( = 3304). The CVRF assessed were overweight, hypertension, smoking and alcohol consumption. The parental physical activity level was assessed using a validated questionnaire, being classified into physically active and inactive parents. The statistical analysis considered all parents and stratification by physical activity level.
The prevalence of CVRF was higher in fathers than in mothers (70.6% vs. 54.9% for overweight, 23.3% vs. 19.7% for hypertension, 17.9% vs. 12.4% for smoking and 60.4% vs. 28.5% for alcohol consumption). Adolescents with active mothers showed lower prevalence of overweight (13.9% vs. 19.6%), while adolescents with active fathers showed higher prevalence of alcohol consumption (23.5% vs. 16.9%). The CVRF of both fathers and mothers were positively associated with CVRF of adolescents. However, the association of CVRF between adolescents and their parents was mitigated among active parents, while all the CVRF remained associated in physically inactive parents.
The parental physical activity level seems to mitigate the association of CVRF between adolescents and their parents. The promotion of an active lifestyle at the family level can contribute to reduce CVRF among adolescents.
据推测，儿童的习惯可以通过父母的生活方式来调节。然而，青少年的心血管危险因素（CVRF）与父母之间的关系是否可以通过父母的身体活动水平来减弱，目前仍未确定。
本研究旨在根据父母的身体活动水平分析青少年与父母之间 CVRF 的关系。
本研究采用基于学校的样本，共纳入 1231 名青少年、1202 名母亲和 871 名父亲（共 3304 人）。评估的 CVRF 包括超重、高血压、吸烟和饮酒。父母的身体活动水平使用经过验证的问卷进行评估，分为活跃和不活跃的父母。统计分析考虑了所有父母，并按身体活动水平进行分层。
父亲的 CVRF 患病率高于母亲（超重为 70.6% vs. 54.9%，高血压为 23.3% vs. 19.7%，吸烟为 17.9% vs. 12.4%，饮酒为 60.4% vs. 28.5%）。母亲活跃的青少年超重患病率较低（13.9% vs. 19.6%），而父亲活跃的青少年饮酒患病率较高（23.5% vs. 16.9%）。父母双方的 CVRF 均与青少年的 CVRF 呈正相关。然而，在活跃父母中，青少年与父母之间的 CVRF 相关性减弱，而在不活跃的父母中，所有 CVRF 仍存在相关性。
父母的身体活动水平似乎减轻了青少年与父母之间 CVRF 的相关性。在家庭层面促进积极的生活方式可以有助于降低青少年的 CVRF。
