“…In this study, the relationship between the incidence of paternal overweight and obesity was associated with the occurrence of overweight and obesity in children. This is in accordance with a study in Ukraine where children of overweight and obese fathers have a 1.4 to 2 time's higher risk of suffering from overweight and obesity [16]. This is thought to be due to the influence of genes and environmental and behavioral influences.…”

Background: The age of maternal menarche is thought to be intergenerationally associated with the incidence of overweight and obesity in their offspring, but studies are limited. Objective: To determine the intergenerational relationship between maternal age at menarche and the incidence of childhood obesity and overweight at preschool age. Methods: This research is an analytic cross-sectional study with a cluster sampling method which was conducted in preschool in Denpasar, Bali. Younger maternal menarche was defined as the age of maternal menarche less than 12 years. Overweight and obesity in children are expressed based on the growth curve of the World Health Organization (WHO) Body Mass Index/Age > +2 SD. Results: This study was conducted from October to November 2019 involving 204 samples, with the proportion of overweight and obese children were 28.9%. The mean age of menarche in mothers was 13.28 (SD +1.97) years with 11% of mothers experiencing early maturation. The adjusted ratio prevalence of maternal menarche <11 years was 3.96 (95% CI 1.56-10.08) and the nutritional status of overweight and obesity in the father was 3.22 (95% CI 1.67-6.26). Conclusion: In this study, it was found that there was a relationship between younger maternal age at menarche and overweight and obesity nutritional status in fathers with the incidence of overweight and obesity in children.

“…Additionally, based on our results, higher parental BMI increases the likelihood of offspring being in the overweight/obesity group. In line with our findings, other studies confirm that excessive weight of parents is a risk factor for children's overweight/obesity (Dereń et al., 2020; Kumar et al., 2010). Evidence shows that parents with obesity tend to consume high‐calorie products and be less physically active; such behaviours can create an obesogenic environment.…”

Body mass index trajectories from childhood concerning emotional states in young adulthood: Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study

et al. 2022

This study aimed to identify body mass index (BMI) trajectories from childhood and their relationships with depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms in young adulthood. A total of 687 children aged 4-18 years were recruited from the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study. Throughout 18 years of follow-up, BMI was measured every 3 years for a maximum of 6 data points. Participants completed the depression, anxiety, and stress scale in their young adulthood (aged 22-36). The group-based trajectory modelling was applied to identify BMI patterns. The logistic regression model was used to assess the association between BMI trajectories and depression, anxiety, and stress symptoms in adulthood. Two BMI trajectories were identified from childhood to young adulthood: healthy weight (HW = 69.6%) and persistent increasing overweight/obesity (PIO = 30.4%). After adjusting for potential confounders, compared with the HW group, men in the PIO group were more likely to experience higher stress levels (OR: 1.62, 95% CI: 0.99-2.63; p = 0.05). No significant association was observed between the PIO trajectory and depression and anxiety among both sexes and stress symptoms in females. Our results highlight that developing overweight and obesity from childhood may be related to increased stress in males.

“…Parental OW/OB was strongly associated with childhood OW/OB. Consistent with the present findings, studies from Ukraine and Iran found that children had higher BMI when their parents also had OW/OB [ 33 , 34 ]. The results of the WC-based analyses did not differ substantially from the BMI-based analyses [ 7 ].…”

Limited evidence exists on the influence of dietary behaviors on the association of overweight/obesity between parents and offspring. This study aimed to investigate the influence of dietary behaviors on the association of overweight/obesity between two generations, and puts forward strategies for preventing childhood obesity. Data were obtained from a cross-sectional survey conducted in China; a total of 40,197 parent-offspring pairs were included. Overweight/obesity was defined based on the body mass index and waist circumstance; the association of overweight/obesity between two generations was evaluated by multivariate and binary logistic regression and stratified analyses. Compared with the offspring who were free of parental overweight/obesity, the ORs of offspring with both parental overweight/obesity reached 2.66, 1.72 and 4.04 for general, simple abdominal and compound obesity. The offset effect of dietary behaviors was observed on the association between parental obesity and the offspring’s general or simple abdominal obesity, with non-significant ORs when parents or/and offspring had healthy dietary behaviors. It was difficult for a healthy diet alone to offset the high heritability and intergenerational transmission of childhood obesity caused by parental obesity. Multifaceted improvement of lifestyle behaviors, and a combination of individual and family engagement, could be targeted measures to control childhood obesity.
