“…Children who experience unstable living arrangements in the first 5 years after birth are also at increased risk for receiving a diagnosis of asthma and to a lesser extent risk for developing obesity. 17 Similar patterns are found when considering adolescent health. Adolescents living in cohabitating households are more likely to smoke and drink alcohol in comparison with adolescents living in married or single-parent households.…”

Pediatricians are in the unique position of being on the front line of care for children and having access to their families. This article presents both a rationale and the evidence base for identifying the family characteristics and processes that affect child health and suggests approaches that pediatricians can implement to improve the care of children, using data from 3 recent reports of the Institute of Medicine and National Research Council, as well as other recent family research. Evidence regarding the impact on child health of 3 family factors in particular (family composition and living arrangements, family routines, and parental depression) is highlighted, and implications for pediatric practice are described.

“…The impact of family structure on children's development has been much studied, generally concluding that children are better off with two biological parents present, owing to a higher standard of living, greater social support and reduced stress levels (Amato 2005). Until recently, however, little was known about the influence of family structure on children's physical health (Bzostek and Beck 2011).…”

All in the Family? Parental Roles in the Epidemic of Childhood Obesity

2016

Childhood obesity is a serious global health challenge. Families and consumption are at the nexus of the problem, as childhood weight issues depend significantly on family-related influences (genetic predispositions, physical activities, and household food consumption practices). This article focuses on how a family socializes a child toward or away from obesity. It advances a family consumer socialization framework to characterize key elements and processes.Biological predispositions, parent/family inputs, elements of child development, parent-child interactions, and intergenerational transfer are all major contributors to weight status and life course potentials. Time is also a crucial component, here represented in two forms --linear and cyclical. Drawing on extensive research from other disciplines and related consumer research, five "Foundational Properties" are distilled, representing fundamental tenets underpinning the family's role in this problem. Each property is then used to chart promising opportunities for consumer researchers and others interested in advancing knowledge on this pressing concern.
