Problems associated with eating and weight in childhood are complex and have a multifactorial etiology. In recent years, childhood obesity has become a global public health problem with short- and long-term physical, psychological, and social health consequences. This is a cross-sectional study that evaluates the relationship between parenting styles, eating styles, and parents' body mass index (BMI) and their children's body mass index (BMI) and disordered eating behaviors (DEBs). A sample of 372 dyads of mothers or fathers (mean age = 38 (SD = 8.8)) and boys or girls (mean age = 8.9 years (SD = 0.31)) was used. Path analysis found that an authoritarian parenting style had a significant positive relationship with food approach (β = 0.36, < 0.001) and food avoidance factors (β = 0.23, < 0.001). Parental depression was positively associated with food approach (β = 0.20, 0.001) and food avoidance factors (β = 0.19, 0.001). Food approach factors significantly predicted compensatory behaviors (β = 0.14, 0.001). Lastly, both binge eating (β = 0.10, 0.05) and compensatory behaviors (β = 0.31, 0.001) showed significant positive relationships with children's BMI. A clearer understanding of the relationships among these factors could facilitate earlier and more effective interventions targeting nutrition- and weight-related issues.
儿童期与饮食和体重相关的问题很复杂，病因是多方面的。近年来，儿童肥胖已成为一个全球性的公共卫生问题，会对儿童的身心健康和社会健康产生短期和长期的影响。这是一项横断面研究，旨在评估养育方式、饮食方式、父母体重指数（BMI）与子女体重指数（BMI）及饮食失调行为（DEB）之间的关系。研究样本包括372对父母（平均年龄 = 38岁（标准差 = 8.8））及其子女（男孩或女孩，平均年龄 = 8.9岁（标准差 = 0.31））。路径分析发现，专制型养育方式与对食物的喜爱（β = 0.36，< 0.001）和对食物的回避因素（β = 0.23，< 0.001）呈显著正相关。父母的抑郁情绪与对食物的喜爱（β = 0.20，0.001）和对食物的回避因素（β = 0.19，0.001）呈正相关。对食物的喜爱因素显著预测了代偿行为（β = 0.14，0.001）。最后，暴饮暴食（β = 0.10，0.05）和代偿行为（β = 0.31，0.001）均与儿童的BMI呈显著正相关。更清楚地了解这些因素之间的关系有助于针对营养和体重相关问题进行更早、更有效的干预。
