Stress is associated with physiological and behavioral adaptations that increase the risk for obesity and related diseases in adults and children. Mechanisms linking stress to chronic disease are diverse and not fully elucidated, but research suggests stress may impact eating behaviors and increase food intake and thereby, risk for obesity.
The purpose of this study was to test the hypotheses that women's perceived stress and household disorder are associated with more uncontrolled and emotional eating among women, more food responsiveness and emotional overeating among their children, and greater adiposity in both women and their children.
Women (n = 86) completed the Perceived Stress Scale, Confusion, Hubbub and Order Scale, Three Factor Eating Questionnaire, and Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire. Total body fat (%) was measured via dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Linear regression models evaluated associations of perceived stress and household disorder with eating behaviors and adiposity of women and their children (4-10 years old).
In a sample of predominantly non-Hispanic Black women (84.9%, n = 73), more perceived stress and household disorder were associated with more uncontrolled and emotional eating (p < 0.05). Women's perceived stress was not associated with their children's eating behaviors; however, household disorder was positively associated with children's food responsiveness and emotional overeating (p < 0.05). Perceived stress and household disorder were not associated with adiposity of women or their children.
These findings suggest household disorder may be a factor for home-based interventions to consider when addressing eating behaviors among families with children.
压力与生理和行为适应有关，这些适应会增加成年人和儿童肥胖和相关疾病的风险。将压力与慢性疾病联系起来的机制多种多样，尚未完全阐明，但研究表明，压力可能会影响饮食行为，增加食物摄入量，从而增加肥胖的风险。
本研究的目的是检验以下假设：女性感知到的压力和家庭紊乱与女性更多的失控和情绪化进食、其子女更多的食物反应性和情绪性暴食、以及女性及其子女更大的肥胖有关。
女性（n=86）完成了感知压力量表、困惑、喧嚣和秩序量表、三因素饮食问卷和儿童饮食行为问卷。全身脂肪（%）通过双能 X 射线吸收法测量。线性回归模型评估了感知压力和家庭紊乱与女性及其子女（4-10 岁）的饮食行为和肥胖的关联。
在一个主要是非西班牙裔黑人女性（84.9%，n=73）的样本中，更多的感知压力和家庭紊乱与更多的失控和情绪化进食有关（p<0.05）。女性的感知压力与子女的饮食行为无关；然而，家庭紊乱与儿童的食物反应性和情绪性暴食呈正相关（p<0.05）。感知压力和家庭紊乱与女性或其子女的肥胖无关。
这些发现表明，家庭紊乱可能是家庭干预的一个因素，在解决有子女家庭的饮食行为时需要考虑。
