Family characteristics can influence parents' implementation of food parenting practices. However, with a growing body of research on family characteristics and food parenting practices, a systematic review of the related topic has yet to be found in the current literature. Hence, the study aimed to review existing studies on family characteristics and food parenting practices among parents with school-age children and adolescents. Family characteristics refer to the family background or demographics that involve race/ethnicity, family income, parents' education levels, food security, culture, acculturation, and family structure. The study used Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines for the review process. The data was collected from EBSCOhost Discovery, PubMed, and Scopus databases. Forty-five relevant articles were analyzed and summarized, and the findings were presented in three themes, including (1) culture, races/ethnicities, and acculturation, (2) socioeconomic status and food security, and (3) family structure. The results showed that the family characteristics identified in this study can influence the engagement of food parenting practices among parents with school-age children and adolescents. Several issues have been addressed for the advancement of future research, which can lead to better suggestions and implementation of food parenting practices among parents. Therefore, parents can improve their food parenting experiences and enhance their children's health, growth, and development.
家庭特征会影响父母实施食物养育行为。然而，随着关于家庭特征与食物养育行为的研究日益增多，目前的文献中尚未发现对这一相关主题的系统综述。因此，本研究旨在回顾现有关于有学龄儿童和青少年的父母的家庭特征与食物养育行为的研究。家庭特征指的是涉及种族/民族、家庭收入、父母教育水平、食品安全、文化、文化适应和家庭结构的家庭背景或人口统计学特征。本研究在综述过程中采用了系统评价和Meta分析的首选报告项目（PRISMA）指南。数据从EBSCOhost Discovery、PubMed和Scopus数据库收集。对45篇相关文章进行了分析和总结，并将研究结果归纳为三个主题，包括（1）文化、种族/民族和文化适应，（2）社会经济地位和食品安全，以及（3）家庭结构。结果表明，本研究中确定的家庭特征会影响有学龄儿童和青少年的父母参与食物养育行为。为推动未来研究已解决了若干问题，这可为父母更好地实施食物养育行为提供建议。因此，父母可以改善他们的食物养育体验，促进孩子的健康、成长和发展。
