“…However, while controlling for the covariates of race, gender, age of participants, and neighborhood cohesion watching television or videos or playing video games for any amount of time (even less than one hour per day) was a significant predictor of being overweight or obese among the children and adolescents with ASD's. These findings of the current study are consistent with those of Atkin, Sharp, Corder, Van Sluijs [7]; Sisson, Broyles, Newton, Baker, and Chernausek [16]; and Wethington, Pan, Sherry [17]. However, the authors of these previous studies had not specifically stratified their study participants by autism spectrum disorder status as done in the current study.…”

Because of its association with obesity, excessive "screen time" is a concern. Children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders (ASD's) have been found to spend much of their free time watching television more than children and adolescents without ASD's. Thus, the purpose of the current study was to determine if the time spent watching television, videos, playing video games and using other electronic devices contributed to overweight and obesity status among children and adolescents with ASD's compared to children and adolescents without ASD's. The current study analyzed data (n = 95,677) that had been previously collected through the 2011/2012 National Survey of Children's Health (NSCH). Children and adolescents with an ASD had significantly higher odds of being overweight or obese than children and adolescents without an ASD. Time watching television was a predictor of overweight/obesity status for children and adolescents both with ASD's and without ASD's. However, only children and adolescents with ASD's who used electronic devices four or more hours per day were significantly more likely to be overweight/obese than those who did not use electronic devices. A discussion of the results and limitations of the study are also provided.

“…Currently 71 percent of children have televisions in their bedrooms [9]. Adolescents between the ages of 12 to 17 years old who have televisions in their bedrooms are more likely to exceed screen time recommendations and be overweight or obese [16][17].…”

“…No study has examined differences in feeding practices by residential status and prior research is limited to outcomes that are suggestive of mealtime structure (number of family meals eaten) and dietary behaviors in children (breakfast consumption). In these studies, children in single parent families, reconstituted or blended families, or those who live without parents are more likely to have unhealthy eating habits such as irregular breakfast consumption, irregular meal consumption, lower vegetable intake and lower diet quality compared to children living with both parents (Baek, Paik, & Shim, 2014; Jorgensen, Pedersen, Meilstrup, & Rasmussen, 2011; Levin, Kirby, & Currie, 2012; Pearson, Atkin, Biddle, Gorely, & Edwardson, 2010; Sisson, Sheffield-Morris, Spicer, Lora, & Latorre, 2014). However, this pattern has not always been significant (Berge, Meyer, MacLehose, Eisenberg, & Neumark-Sztainer, 2014).…”

Diversity in fathers' food parenting practices: A qualitative exploration within a heterogeneous sample

et al. 2016

Background Food parenting practices (FPPs) are important in shaping children’s dietary behaviors. However, existing FPP knowledge is largely based on research with mothers. Purpose This study (1) identified fathers’ FPPs; (2) described differences in FPP use by fathers’ education and residential status. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 40 fathers (39 ± 9.1 years; 37.5% non-residential; 40% ≥college education). Interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed. NVivo 10 was used for theme detection, categorization and classification using inductive and deductive approaches. FPPs were identified and their relative distribution was examined across education and residential status. Results Twenty FPPs were identified - 13 responsive practices and 7 unresponsive practices. Having food rules was the most common responsive FPP (81.5%), followed by feeding on schedule (60%) and making healthy food accessible (60%). Common unresponsive FPPs were letting child dictate preferences (70%), incentivizing food consumption (60%) and pressuring the child to eat (35%). Compared to fathers with a college education, more fathers without a college education reported letting child dictate preferences (92% vs. 37%), educating their children about food (37% vs 12%), fewer reported feeding on schedule (50% vs. 75%), modeling healthy practices (29% vs. 50%), and using distraction to feed (4% vs. 37%). Compared to residential fathers, more non-residential fathers monitored (60% vs. 40%) or encouraged (60% vs. 36%) child food intake and let child dictate preferences (87% vs. 60%). Conclusions Fathers used an extensive variety of FPPs, similar to those identified in mothers. Further study on the influence of fathers’ education and residential status on FPP use is warranted.

“…For example, previous studies in Australia and Canada showed that, compared with children with siblings, those without siblings spent more time in low-intensity physical activity each day [25] and less time in moderate-to-vigorous-intensity physical activity [25, 26]. A previous study in the United States showed that, compared with children living in families with two or more children, only children were more likely to have a television in the child’s bedroom, spend over an hour in front of screen per day, and eat a meal infrequently with all the family members living in the household [27]. Regarding the effects of living with grandparents, a previous study in China showed that children mainly cared for by grandparents consumed unhealthful snacks and sugar-sweetened beverages more frequently compared with those mainly cared for by parents or other adults [21].…”

Changes in the effects of living with no siblings or living with grandparents on overweight and obesity in children: Results from a national cohort study in Japan

Effects of living without siblings and living with grandparents on overweight and obesity may change with child’s age. We aimed to examine these effects from early childhood to school age at the national level in Japan. Subjects were 43,046 children born in Japan during two weeks in 2001 who were followed annually from 2.5 to 13 years of age in the Longitudinal Survey of Newborns in the 21st Century. We used measured body height and weight reported by participants at each survey and followed the criteria of the International Obesity Task Force to define overweight and obesity. Random-effects logit models by sex, adjusted for time-varying and time-invariant covariates, assessed odds ratios of overweight and obesity for living without siblings and for living with grandparents at each age. The likelihood of overweight and obesity was significantly higher at 8 years and older among children living without siblings, compared with those living with siblings, and odds ratios were highest at 11 years of age in boys (1.87, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.49, 2.33) and at 10 and 13 years of age in girls (1.75 [95% CI: 1.36, 2.23] and 1.73 [95% CI: 1.30, 2.31], respectively). It was also significantly higher at 5.5 years and older among children living with grandparents, compared with those living without grandparents, and odds ratios were highest at 10 and 13 years of age in boys (1.53 [95% CI: 1.30, 1.80] and 1.54 [95% CI: 1.27, 1.86], respectively) and at 11 years of age in girls (1.51, 95% CI: 1.24, 1.84). In Japan, living without siblings and living with grandparents may increase the likelihood of overweight and obesity at 8 and 5.5 years and older, respectively. Child’s age should be considered during formulation of strategies for prevention of overweight and obesity in these groups.
