Overview
Objective: The main objective of this study was to identify the relationship between overweight/obesity in children and objectively monitored physical activity (PA), active participation in organized leisure-time PA, entertaining screen time (ST), and the level of body weight in their parents in a representative group of 1,101 Czech families.
Methods: The analysis included 1,101 parent-child pairs (648 mother-child and 453 father-child) with complete body weight status data, entertainment ST, PA, and participation in organized leisure-time PA monitored using a Yamax pedometer during regular school/work week during spring and autumn between 2013 and 2019. Logistic regression analysis was used to quantify the odds ratio of childhood overweight/obesity and parents’ lifestyle indicators (overweight/obesity, ≥ 10,000 steps a day, ≤ 2 hours of entertainment ST daily, active participation (≥ 1 a week) in organized leisure-time PA).
Results: Mothers’ excessive body weight significantly (more than 2.5 times p < 0.001) increased the odds ratio of overweight/obesity in their offspring, while active participation of fathers in organized leisure-time PA and achieving 10,000 steps a day significantly (p < 0.05) reduced the odds ratio of overweight/obesity in their children.
Conclusions: The cumulative effect of parental active involvement in organized leisure-time PA and achieving 10,000 steps a day is a natural means of preventing overweight/obesity in their offspring due to family ties.
Keywords:
overweight/obesity – daily step counts – organized leisure-time physical activity – entertainment screen time
