Adolescent cases suffering from obesity tend to increase in middle-income countries. This study focused on the relationship between adolescent obesity and parents body mass index (BMI) and the variables of satisfaction, diet implementation and sports promotion.
This cross-sectional study was conducted among adolescents living in the Mediterranean region (n=522, evaluated n=488). Anthropometric measurements were taken by expert researchers and data were collected using face-to-face survey technique.
The average BMI of the adolescents and parents' was found to be above normal values. In adolescents, there was a positive and very good correlation with maternal BMI (r=0.711, p<0.01), a positive and moderate correlation with paternal BMI (r=0.512, p<0.01); In girl adolescents, it was positively and very well with maternal BMI (r=0.731, p<0.01), positively and moderately with father BMI (r=0.549, p<0.01); In boy adolescents, a positive and good correlation was found with maternal BMI (r=0.698, p<0.01), and a positive and moderate correlation with paternal BMI (r=0.459, p<0.01). In the analyzes comparing those who thought obesity threatened them (group 1) and those who did not think it threatened them (group 2), there was a statistically significant difference between the groups in terms of BMI distribution, satisfaction with body weight, diet program implementation, diet recommendation by the family and sports encouragement (p<0, 05).
In a cross-sectional perspective paternal obesity is also significant in adolescents and the correlation with maternal obesity is relatively more effective. Also includes evidence of individual efforts and parental contribution in adolescents who see obesity as a threat.
在中等收入国家，青少年肥胖病例有增加的趋势。本研究主要关注青少年肥胖与父母体重指数（BMI）之间的关系，以及满意度、饮食实施和运动促进等变量。
这是一项在地中海地区进行的青少年横断面研究（n=522，实际评估 n=488）。由专业研究人员进行人体测量，采用面对面调查技术收集数据。
青少年和父母的平均 BMI 均高于正常值。在青少年中，母亲 BMI 与青少年 BMI 呈正相关且高度相关（r=0.711，p<0.01），父亲 BMI 与青少年 BMI 呈正相关且中度相关（r=0.512，p<0.01）；女孩青少年中，母亲 BMI 与青少年 BMI 呈正相关且高度相关（r=0.731，p<0.01），父亲 BMI 与青少年 BMI 呈正相关且中度相关（r=0.549，p<0.01）；男孩青少年中，母亲 BMI 与青少年 BMI 呈正相关且良好相关（r=0.698，p<0.01），父亲 BMI 与青少年 BMI 呈正相关且中度相关（r=0.459，p<0.01）。在比较认为肥胖对自己构成威胁的组 1 和不认为肥胖对自己构成威胁的组 2 的分析中，两组在 BMI 分布、对体重的满意度、饮食计划实施、家庭对饮食的推荐以及运动鼓励方面存在统计学显著差异（p<0.05）。
从横断面的角度来看，父亲肥胖在青少年中也很重要，而且与母亲肥胖的相关性相对更有效。还包括了个体努力和父母对将肥胖视为威胁的青少年的贡献的证据。
