“…Our findings that both mother's and father's self-reported physical activity significantly and positively correlated with daughter's HEI score highlight the importance of viewing children's health behaviors from a family perspective. Other studies used this family approach by studying mother-father-child triads and found that multiple health behaviors, including physical activity, healthy food consumption, and less sedentary time, co-occurred at the family level (19). Although many health behavior interventions have been with mothers and daughters (20), less work has been done with fathers and daughters.…”

“…However, research on parental influence has yielded mixed results. Some studies show that parents' diet and physical activity are coconnected and are linked to and promote the health of their children (6,19). Other studies do not show this effect (20).…”

“…In a 2016 study, Kwon et al (6) found that the father's involvement meant that children aged 5 to 19 years were more likely to engage in sus-tained sports activities. Niermann et al (19) found that physical activity levels and healthy diets were an issue for the family as a whole. Other research showed that when mothers modified their physical activity and diet, daughters had healthier diets and better physical activity habits (22).…”

What is already known on this topic? Diet and physical activity can promote adult health and are 2 modifiable lifestyle behaviors in youth that parents can influence. Understanding the degree to which parents may influence these behaviors may provide opportunities to intervene among populations at increased risk for breast cancer.What is added by this report?Findings from this study reinforce the importance of parental influence on daughters' eating habits and the value of a family-focused approach to addressing breast cancer prevention and overall health.What are the implications for public health practice?Our study contributes to the growing body of literature on the effect of family behavior on adolescent health. The study has several implications for how researchers, practitioners, and educators view health interventions aimed at girls and young women with and without a family history of breast cancer.

“…Aside from school-based interventions, home-, family-, and community-based interventions could complement the promotion of physical fitness among children and adolescents [77,78]. However, home-, family-, and communitybased interventions have received less attention in the literature, with a particular gap existing for interventions targeting physical fitness as the primary outcome [79]. Most home-, family-, and community-based intervention studies have focused on physical activity levels as the primary outcome [79].…”

Top 10 International Priorities for Physical Fitness Research and Surveillance Among Children and Adolescents: A Twin-Panel Delphi Study

et al. 2022

Background The measurement of physical fitness has a history that dates back nearly 200 years. Recently, there has been an increase in international research and surveillance on physical fitness creating a need for setting international priorities that could help guide future efforts. Objective This study aimed to produce a list of the top 10 international priorities for research and surveillance on physical fitness among children and adolescents. Methods Using a twin-panel Delphi method, two independent panels consisting of 46 international experts were identified (panel 1 = 28, panel 2 = 18). The panel participants were asked to list up to five priorities for research or surveillance (round 1), and then rated the items from their own panel on a 5-point Likert scale of importance (round 2). In round 3, experts were asked to rate the priorities identified by the other panel. Results There was strong between-panel agreement (panel 1: rs = 0.76, p < 0.01; panel 2: rs = 0.77, p < 0.01) in the priorities identified. The list of the final top 10 priorities included (i) “conduct longitudinal studies to assess changes in fitness and associations with health”. This was followed by (ii) “use fitness surveillance to inform decision making”, and (iii) “implement regular and consistent international/national fitness surveys using common measures”. Conclusions The priorities identified in this study provide guidance for future international collaborations and research efforts on the physical fitness of children and adolescents over the next decade and beyond.
