Abstract
Purpose: To examine associations between parent's diet and BMI (body mass index) and child's sedentary behavior and physical activity (PA) with child's BMI.
Design: A descriptive design.
Methods: Study participants were a parent-child dyad in a subsample of families enrolled in Chicago Heights Early Childhood Center.
Findings: Approximately 80% of parents had a BMI classifying as overweight or obese. Associations between children's sedentary behavior, PA, and BMI were insignificant.
Conclusions: Findings highlight the importance of including parents when developing strategies for promoting healthy behavior of children.
Clinical evidence: Community health nurses are well-positioned to promote healthy behaviors.
期刊介绍：
This innovative publication focuses on health care issues relevant to all aspects of community practice -- home health care, visiting nursing services, clinics, hospices, education, and public health administration. Well-researched articles provide practical and up-to-date information to aid the nurse who must frequently make decisions and solve problems without the back-up support systems available in the hospital. The journal is a forum for community health professionals to share their experience and expertise with others in the field.
