The association of lifestyle habits of parents and of their children has been widely investigated as an important determinant for healthy habits in youth. Although parental sociodemographic characteristics are potential confounding factors in parent-child physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviour (SB), it is still unclear whether these factors have a moderating role in this association. This study aimed to analyze the association of parent-child PA and SB according to parental sex and economic level in adolescents.
The study sample was made up of 1231 adolescents (15.6 ± 1.1 years, 58.2% of girls), 1202 mothers and 871 fathers. The leisure-time and commuting PA was assessed by the Baecke questionnaire, while sedentary behaviour (SB) was assessed according to hours per week of television viewing and computer use, by both adolescents and their parents. Economic status was analyzed using a questionnaire and classified as low, medium, and high. Linear models were used to assess the association of parent-child PA and SB in the different domains according to parental sex and economic level.
Leisure time was associated between boys and their fathers in high (β = 0.23, p = 0.044) and low economic classes (β = 0.31, p < 0.001), and girls and their mothers in low economic class (β = 0.38, p < 0.001). Commuting PA was associated between adolescents and both parents in low economic class (fathers β = 0.21, p = 0.005; mothers (β = 0.15, p = 0.020). TV time of boys was associated with TV time of fathers in low economic class (β = 0.13, p = 0.022) and with TV time of mothers in medium economic class (β = 0.13, p = 0.046). Among girls, TV time was associated with TV time of both parents only in low economic class (fathers β = 0.28, p < 0.001; mothers β = 0.25, p < 0.001). Computer use of girls was associated with computer use of fathers in high economic class (β = 1.72, p = 0.043) and mothers in low economic class (β = 0.57, p = 0.014), while no association was observed among boys.
Economic status was shown to be an important moderator of the association between parent-child PA and SB in adolescents.
父母及其子女的生活方式习惯之间的关联已被广泛研究,作为青少年健康习惯的一个重要决定因素。尽管父母的社会人口学特征是亲子体育活动(PA)和久坐行为(SB)中的潜在混杂因素,但这些因素在这种关联中是否具有调节作用仍不清楚。本研究旨在分析青少年中亲子PA和SB根据父母性别和经济水平的关联。
研究样本由1231名青少年(15.6±1.1岁,女孩占58.2%)、1202名母亲和871名父亲组成。休闲时间和通勤PA通过贝克问卷进行评估,而久坐行为(SB)则根据青少年及其父母每周看电视和使用电脑的小时数进行评估。经济状况通过问卷进行分析,并分为低、中、高三个等级。线性模型用于评估根据父母性别和经济水平在不同领域中亲子PA和SB的关联。
在高经济阶层(β = 0.23,p = 0.044)和低经济阶层(β = 0.31,p < 0.001)中,男孩与其父亲的休闲时间存在关联;在低经济阶层中,女孩与其母亲的休闲时间存在关联(β = 0.38,p < 0.001)。在低经济阶层中,青少年与父母双方的通勤PA存在关联(父亲β = 0.21,p = 0.005;母亲β = 0.15,p = 0.020)。低经济阶层中男孩的看电视时间与父亲的看电视时间存在关联(β = 0.13,p = 0.022),与中等经济阶层中母亲的看电视时间存在关联(β = 0.13,p = 0.046)。在女孩中,只有在低经济阶层中,看电视时间与父母双方的看电视时间存在关联(父亲β = 0.28,p < 0.001;母亲β = 0.25,p < 0.001)。高经济阶层中女孩的电脑使用与父亲的电脑使用存在关联(β = 1.72,p = 0.043),低经济阶层中女孩的电脑使用与母亲的电脑使用存在关联(β = 0.57,p = 0.014),而男孩中未观察到关联。
经济状况被证明是青少年中亲子PA和SB之间关联的一个重要调节因素。
