“…Our findings are also in line with previous studies which show that characteristics of the physical home environment are associated with children's MVPA and ST levels ( Lau et al, 2015 ). We show that the proportion of MVPA in children increased significantly with each additional piece of PA equipment reported in the household.…”

The manner in which mothers' and children's moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and sedentary time (ST) are associated across different settings (i.e., at home versus outside of the home, on weekdays versus weekends) is not well understood. The purposes of this study were to: (Strong et al., 2005) describe associations between mothers' and children's levels of MVPA and ST, and (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, 2008) determine how setting and mothers' and children's characteristics moderate the associations. We used baseline data from the University of Michigan Healthy Families baseline data (2013–2015) from 55 mothers who have children in two age groups (3–5.99 years [n = 25] and 10–12.99 years [n = 30]) for the analysis. MVPA and ST data were collected using accelerometry over a seven day period. Proportion of time spent in MVPA and ST between 08:00 am and 08:59 pm was calculated. Mixed-effects models were used to examine associations. After controlling for selected mother and child characteristics and setting variables, MVPA and ST levels were positively associated in mothers and their children (P < 0.001). The mother-child associations for MVPA and ST were 1.7 times (β = 0.365 versus β = 0.216) and 2.2 times (β = 0.255 versus β = 0.117) stronger, respectively, when both were at home together. The association did not differ by day of the week. The variations by setting underline the importance of developing home-based, family-centered interventions to increase PA and decrease ST.

“…The family environment serves a fundamental role in the establishment of dietary, physical activity, and other weight-related behaviors among youth. While a number of studies have explored how diet- or activity-related parental behaviors, including feeding practices [ 13 – 15 ], modeling [ 16 , 17 ] and providing support for health behaviors [ 18 , 19 ], as well as general parenting style [ 20 – 22 ] may influence adolescent weight and related behaviors, few studies have explored how other factors in the general family environment, such as family functioning or quality of parent-adolescent relationship, may influence these outcomes. Family systems theory asserts that an individual’s behaviors must be understood within the family context [ 23 ].…”

“…Although research has shown that adolescents with eating disorders report higher levels of family dysfunction [ 26 , 27 ], only a small number of studies have examined whether family functioning is associated with adolescent obesity [ 28 – 31 ]. Results of this existing research are inconsistent; two studies found no significant association between family functioning [ 30 , 31 ] and adolescent weight status and two found that higher family dysfunction was associated with higher weight status among youth [ 18 , 19 ]. The majority of research exploring the association between family functioning and obesity risk has included small, convenience samples [ 28 , 30 , 31 ].…”

BackgroundLittle is known about how factors within the general family environment are associated with weight and related behaviors among adolescents/young adults.MethodsWe studied 3768 females and 2614 males, 14–24 years old in 2011, participating in the Growing Up Today Study 2. We used generalized mixed models to examine cross-sectional associations of family functioning and quality of mother- and father-adolescent relationship with adolescent/young adult weight status, disordered eating, intake of fast food and sugar-sweetened beverages, screen time, physical activity, and sleep duration. In all models, we included participant’s age and family structure.ResultsEighty percent of participants reported high family functioning and 60 % and 50 % of participants reported high-quality mother and father relationship, respectively. Among both males and females, high family functioning was associated with lower odds of disordered eating (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] females = 0.53; 95 % Confidence Interval [CI] = 0.45–0.63; AOR males = 0.48; CI = 0.39–0.60), insufficient physical activity, i.e., less than 1 h/day, (AOR females = 0.74; CI = 0.61–0.89; AOR males = 0.73; CI = 0.58–0.92), and insufficient sleep, i.e., less than 7 h/day, (AOR females = 0.56; CI = 0.45–0.68; AOR males = 0.65; CI 0.5–0.85). High family functioning was also associated with lower odds of being overweight/obese (AOR = 0.73; CI = 0.60–0.88) and eating fast food one or more times/week (AOR = 0.74; CI = 0.61–0.89) among females only. Among females, high-quality mother and father relationship were both associated with lower odds of being overweight/obese and disordered eating, eating fast food, and insufficient sleep and the magnitude of associations were similar for mother and father relationship quality (AOR range 0.61–0.84). Among males, high-quality mother and father relationship were both associated with lower odds of disordered eating, insufficient physical activity and insufficient sleep, but only father relationship quality was associated with lower odds of overweight/obesity.ConclusionsAdolescents/young adults reporting high family functioning and more positive relationships with their parents reported better weight-related behaviors. For weight status, females appear to be affected equally by the quality of their relationship with both parents, whereas males may be more affected by their relationship with fathers.

The aim of this study was to verify the association between school environment and accumulated physical activity in Brazilian adolescents. This is a study with secondary data from sample 1, from the third edition of the National School Health Survey, a study carried out with 102.072 children and adolescents enrolled in the ninth school grade. Questions about characteristics of the school environment and the offer of opportunities for physical activity practices were addressed, focusing on information regarding the structure for physical activity and about the regular practice of accumulated physical activities. Variables were organized from the structure of schools and opportunities for the practice of physical activities, while accumulated physical activity was used as the outcome variable. Data were analyzed from a binary logistic regression model, organized in crude and adjusted models, with a significance level of 5%. Data were analyzed from SPSS for Windows, version 22.0. Results indicate that, from the adjustment of variables, there was an association between the practice of accumulated physical activity and the existence of a sports court under conditions of use (OR=1.22, 95%CI=1.18-1.26), or presence of courtyard for use of physical education classes (OR=1.04, 95%CI=1.01-1.06). Association between the offer of varied physical activities, except for physical education classes, and the practice of accumulated physical activity (OR=1.05, 95%CI=1.02-1.08) was identified. Existence of a sports court/courtyard in schools and the offer of extracurricular physical activities are associated with the practice of accumulated physical activity in young Brazilian students.
