项目摘要

PROJECT ABSTRACT/SUMMARY Approximately 15% of children under 5 have obesity. Research shows that parents are the primary influence on young children’s weight-related behaviors and resulting weight status. However, research in this area has focused almost exclusively on mothers; less than 10% of studies on parenting and childhood obesity published since 2009 include any results for fathers. Overlooking fathers in childhood obesity research is concerning given emerging research identifying the strong influence of fathers on children’s weight outcomes. Guided by the Lifecourse Theory and leveraging a unique opportunity in a large, national study (the Growing Up Today Study, GUTS), we will develop a large cohort of fathers and examine: (1) preconception and contemporary factors influencing fathers’ weight-related parenting; (2) developmental pathways linking fathers’ preconception behaviors, weight-related parenting and children’s weight outcomes and behaviors, and (3) how fathers’ parenting compares and interacts with that of mothers. To address these aims, we will use utilize existing measures of fathers’ weight-related behaviors collected since adolescence and compile new data on their parenting engagement and their food, physical activity, media and sleep parenting practices. This study’s large (n=1000) and diverse sample of fathers – including biological, adoptive and social fathers – provides an unparalleled, time-sensitive opportunity to examine the influence of fathers on their young children’s weight-related behaviors and outcomes. Results from this study will guide the timing, intensity and content of preconception care and family-based childhood obesity prevention interventions.

项目摘要/摘要大约15％的5岁以下儿童患有肥胖症。研究表明，父母是主要的对幼儿体重相关行为的影响和由此产生的体重状况。然而，该领域的研究几乎完全集中在母亲身上。不到10％的研究自2009年以来发表的育儿和儿童对象包括父亲的任何结果。俯瞰鉴于新兴的研究确定了强大的研究父亲对孩子体重成果的影响。在生命力理论的指导下，并利用在一项大型国家研究中的独特机会（今天成长的研究，胆量），我们将开发一个大量的父亲和考试：（1）影响父亲的先入和当代因素与体重有关的育儿；（2）将父亲的先入为行为联系起来的发展途径，与体重相关的育儿和儿童的体重成果和行为，以及（3）父亲如何育儿比较并与母亲的互动。为了解决这些目标，我们将使用利用自青少年以来收集的父亲体重相关行为的现有措施有关他们的育儿参与度以及食物，体育锻炼，媒体和睡眠育儿的数据实践。这项研究的大量（n = 1000）和潜水员的父亲样本 - 包括生物学，适应性和社会父亲 - 提供了一个无与伦比的时间敏感的机会来检查父亲与孩子的体重相关行为和结果。这项研究的结果将指导孕前护理和基于家庭的儿童对象的时间，强度和内容预防干预措施。
