“…18 In contrast, parents who are overweight themselves may underestimate their child' s overweight and may be less likely than normal-weight parents to adjust their parenting in response to child overweight. 19,20 Disentangling associations between parenting and child BMI, and understanding how these develop over time, requires repeated measures of parenting and child BMI. With 4 waves of data now available, the nationally representative LSAC 21 provides an ideal opportunity to address these questions, building on our previous cross-sectional research from the first wave only.…”

Bidirectional Associations Between Mothers’ and Fathers’ Parenting Consistency and Child BMI

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT: Parents influence their child' s overweight development through lifestyle-related parenting practices. Although broader parenting dimensions may also affect children' s BMI, reverse causality is possible and there have been calls to examine the possible impacts of fathers. WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS:More consistent parenting prospectively predicted lower child BMI with effects equally strong for fathers and mothers. There was little evidence of child BMI influencing parenting. Improved child BMI could be among the benefits of promoting parenting consistency of both parents. abstract BACKGROUND: Research suggests that general parenting dimensions and styles are associated with children' s BMI, but directionality in this relationship remains unknown. Moreover, there has been little attention to the influences of both mothers' and fathers' parenting. We aimed to examine reciprocal relationships between maternal and paternal parenting consistency and child BMI. METHODS:Participants were 4002 children and their parents in the population-based Longitudinal Study of Australian Children. Mothers and fathers self-reported parenting consistency, and children' s BMI was measured at 4 biennial waves starting at age 4 to 5 years in 2004. Bidirectionality between parenting and child BMI was examined by using regression analyses in cross-lagged models. RESULTS:The best-fitting models indicated a modest influence from parenting to child BMI, whereas no support was found for bidirectional influences. For mothers, higher levels of parenting consistency predicted lower BMI in children from Waves 1 to 2 and 3 to 4; for example, for every SD increase in mothers' parenting consistency at Wave 1, child BMIz fell by 0.025 in Wave 2 (95% confidence interval: 20.05 to 20.003). For fathers, higher levels of parenting consistency were associated with lower child BMI from Waves 1 to 2 and 2 to 3. CONCLUSIONS:Parenting inconsistency of mothers and fathers prospectively predicted small increases in offspring BMI over 2-year periods across middle childhood. However, child BMI did not appear to influence parenting behavior. These findings support recent calls for expanding childhood overweight interventions to address the broad parenting context while involving both mothers and fathers. Pediatrics 2013;132:e1513-e1520

“…The interpretation is that because lower education is linked to overweight and obesity, these women are most likely to enter pregnancy being overweight or obese and as such give birth to large-for-gestationalage infants and sustain an obesogenic environment for their children, which progressively leads to increased BMI at preschool years [28]. In addition, mothers of lower education are more likely to overfeed their children during infancy, as they have been previously reported to have difficulties in correctly perceiving the concept of normal growth and normal weight status in their children [29], which consequently leads infants to rapid growth velocity. Rapid growth velocity during infancy has been consistently been reported by many previous studies as a strong early risk factor of childhood obesity and related comorbidities in adulthood [23].…”

According to the World Health Organization, the proportion of noncommunicable diseases (NCD) burden is foreseen to increase to 57% in 2020. Consumption paterns have a positive efect on healthy growth and development during childhood and adolescence, and on health problems in adulthood. Diet quality indices are mathematical algorithms used for nutritional epidemiology, aimed at quantifying the degree of adequacy between actual intakes of nutrients or food groups within a population and the reference intakes, which are established based on scientiic facts assuring an optimal state of health while preventing consumers from chronic diseases. Similarly, indexes allow to analyse dietary patern of target population and its consumption trends. In general the terms, DQI (Diet Quality Index), HDI (Healthy Diet Indicator) and MDS (Mediterranean Diet Score), are referred to three internationally recognized diet indexes, which several indices have been adapted from. This chapter includes an extensive review of existing diet indexes, 1) providing a brief description of the most relevant ones, 2) highlighting the weaknesses and strengths and 3) deining the suitable scope of application of each index.
