“…While much of the evidence focuses on single health behaviours, there is increasing appreciation that these behaviours are not independent (McAloney et al, 2014, Noble et al, 2015a, Prochaska et al, 2008). Earlier studies have investigated the co-occurrence of behaviours by establishing the prevalence of different risk behaviour combinations and/or by summing the number of risk behaviours reported by each study participant into a risk score.…”

“…Earlier studies have investigated the co-occurrence of behaviours by establishing the prevalence of different risk behaviour combinations and/or by summing the number of risk behaviours reported by each study participant into a risk score. However, these approaches have limitations (McAloney et al, 2014; Noble et al, 2015a). Establishing that behaviours co-occur does not establish whether their co-occurrence differs from what would be expected given the prevalence of each behaviour, and risk scores do not indicate which behaviours contribute to an individual's score.…”

“…Recent reviews have identified two main analytical approaches: examining differences between observed and expected combinations of behaviour and interrogating underlying patterns across the behaviours (McAloney et al, 2014; Noble et al, 2015a). The first approach led the way in the analysis of multiple risk behaviours (McAloney et al, 2014). It uses dichotomous measures of behaviours and observed and expected (O/E) ratios to provide a simple summary measure of whether combinations of behaviours occurs more (or less) often than would be expected if the behaviours were independent.…”

Research on multiple health behaviours is increasing but little is known about parental behaviours and how they covary. Our study investigates cigarette smoking, alcohol intake, fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption and physical activity among mothers and co-resident partners in England. Using the UK Household Longitudinal Study, we examined (i) clustering of health behaviours using observed-expected ratios and latent class analysis (ii) socio-demographic correlates of the derived latent classes and (iii) intra-couple concordance of individual health behaviours and their latent classes. We identified five latent classes for mothers and partners: Never smoked drinkers (28% of mothers; 29% of partners), Abstainers (25%; 17%), Drinkers and ex-smokers (19%; 26%), Unhealthy low frequency drinkers (18%; 16%) and Unhealthiest behaviour group (11%; 12%). These had distinctive social profiles. Never smoked drinkers were more likely than those in other groups to be white and socially advantaged: married, older, and with higher educational qualifications and incomes. Abstainers were non-smokers who never or occasionally drank, and were disproportionately drawn from ethnic minority groups and middle/lower income families. Drinkers and ex-smokers were the most physically active group and were more likely to be socially advantaged. Unhealthy low frequency drinkers were more likely to be disadvantaged and have a limiting long-standing illness. The Unhealthiest behaviour group had the highest proportion of smokers, heavy smokers and binge drinkers and the lowest F&V intake and physical activity levels. They were largely white and socially disadvantaged: younger, non-married and with lower educational levels. Mothers and their partners typically shared the same risk behaviours, and 44 per cent of partners and mothers belonged to the same latent class. Our findings point to the potential for a broadening of research and policy perspectives, from separate behaviours to combinations of behaviours, and from individuals to the domestic units and communities of which they are part.

“…8 Similar figures were reported in the HSE (21% of boys and 16% of girls aged 5 to 15 years), 9 and the UK Household Longitudinal Study (35.8% of boys and 21.8% of girls aged 10 to 15 years). 24 Even lower levels were reported among 15 year olds specifically in the What About Youth Survey (18% of boys and 9% of girls). 25 The grade has therefore declined since the 2014 Report Card, in which a grade of C/D was awarded, 7 though this may in part be due to a lack of available data on children younger than 11 years old.…”

Background:Regular physical activity improves physical and mental health, yet children’s physical activity levels were low in England’s 2014 Report Card. Within this paper, we update the 2014 Report Card to assess current information for the 9 indicators of physical activity.Methods:A search for nationally representative data on 9 indicators of physical activity was conducted and the data were assessed by an expert panel. The panel assigned grades [ie, A, B, C, D, F, or INC (incomplete)] to each indicator based on whether children across England were achieving specific benchmarks. The 2016 Report Card was produced and disseminated.Results:The following grades were awarded: Overall Physical Activity Levels: D-; Organized Sport Participation: D; Active Play: INC; Active Transportation: C-; Sedentary Behaviors: INC; Family and Peers: INC; School: B+; Community and the Built Environment: B; Government Strategies and Investment: INC.Conclusions:The grades have not improved since the 2014 Report Card and several gaps in the literature are still present. While children’s physical activity levels remain low alongside competing sedentary choices, further national plans and investment with local actions are urgently needed to promote physical activity especially via active play, active transport, and family support.
