“…In addition, adolescents revealed a greater perception of body type, such as obese or overweight, within the family. These results align with those indicating that social ties can influence people's behavior [40,41]. These ties must be strengthened when they do not disseminate risk behaviors to health and are identified as significant for adopting healthy eating habits and physical behaviors.…”

The objective of this study was to evaluate the social network, food patterns, physical activity, and their associations with overweight/obesity in adolescents from a school in rural Brazil. Students from a rural school in Northeast Brazil (n = 90) completed questionnaires on sociodemographic characteristics, food consumption, physical activity, and a name generator. Social networks were constructed using students’ social proximity ties. Principal component analysis was performed to determine food patterns, and logistic models were used to investigate variables associated with overweight/obesity. Most participants were girls (62.9%), and the proportion of overweight/obesity was 30% among adolescents. Students cited 2070 people from their networks (family, friends at school, friends outside of school, and others). Among them, the family had the highest degree of influence (61%) in the network and had the most shared meals with adolescents (47%). Adolescents’ perception of their family members’ body size as obese, compared to normal or underweight, was prevalent (51%). Adolescents with unhealthy food patterns were 72% more likely to be categorized as overweight/obese, and eigenvector centrality was also associated with overweight/obesity (OR = 5.88, 95% CI = 1.08–32.03). Adolescents presented a social network with strong family influence, in which a high percentage of overweight/obesity was observed. Adolescents with high eigenvector centrality were more likely to be in the overweight/obesity category. Additionally, overweight/obesity was associated with unhealthy food patterns in the family network.

“…Research examining the moderating roles of adolescent characteristics on the effects of food parenting practices or self-efficacy on adolescent FVC is limited. However, recent work by Deslippe et al (2022), also using data from the FLASHE study, found that adolescent sex moderated the direct association between autonomy supportive (but not controlling or structured) food parenting practices and adolescent FVC, with the association found only among boys. In addition, the effects of autonomy supportive and controlling (but not structured) food parenting practices on adolescent FVC were found to be mediated by motivation only among boys (Deslippe et al, 2022).…”

“…Adolescent characteristics, such as age, gender, race/ethnicity and weight status, may also influence the relationship between food parenting practices and adolescent FVC (Deslippe et al, 2022; Loth et al, 2013; McKeown and Nelson, 2018; Reicks et al, 2015; Shloim et al, 2015; Vaughn et al, 2016). However, few studies have examined whether or not these characteristics moderate the mediating effect of self-efficacy (Deslippe et al, 2022; van Stralen et al, 2011; Yee et al, 2017).…”

Objective: In the USA, few adolescents meet the national recommendations for fruit and vegetable consumption (FVC). This study examined the associations between two perceived food parenting practice scales (Promote and Ensure FVC Intake) and adolescent FVC, and assessed whether these associations were mediated by adolescent self-efficacy. Design: The study took the form of a secondary data analysis of publicly available data from the Family Life, Activity, Sun, Health, and Eating Study (FLASHE), a cross-sectional, Internet-based study administered by the US National Cancer Institute (NCI) between April and October 2014. Methods: Data from 1,354 parent–adolescent dyads were analysed. The PROCESS macro was used to conduct mediation analyses to estimate the indirect effect (IE) of each parenting practice on FVC through adolescent self-efficacy, adjusted for parental and adolescent characteristics. In addition, we examined whether adolescent age, gender, race/ethnicity or weight status moderated the mediation model. Results: The IEs were each statistically significant (Promote FV Intake: IE = 0.063, 95% bootstrap confidence interval [CI] = 0.046, 0.080; Ensure FV Intake: IE = 0.014, 95% bootstrap CI = 0.004, 0.024; p < .05 each), indicating significant mediation by adolescent self-efficacy. However, no adolescent characteristics moderated the effects of parenting practices on FVC through self-efficacy. Conclusions: Interventions should continue to promote parenting skills to improve adolescent self-efficacy and FVC. Insufficient evidence for moderation of the mediation effect by adolescent age, sex, race/ethnicity or weight status implies that the significant relationship between food parenting practices and FVC, mediated by self-efficacy, may operate similarly for adolescents that differ in each of these characteristics.
