“…There is a relationship between parenting and obesity in children. Children who are in foster care with parenting style authoritarian will tend to experience obesity is 1.1 to 1.4 times that of the children in foster care with the style of parenting authoritative [12]. Several studies have shown that authoritative parenting is the least risky parenting model for a child's weight.…”

“…On the other hand, excessive attention and involvement from parents can result in a higher risk of obesity and obesity among their children due to increased mental stress [18]. In addition, the relationship between a permissive parenting style and obesity puts children at a higher risk for being overweight or obese with [12] studies that show a positive relationship between permissive parenting style and child BMI [14]. When children are introduced to solid foods, they tend to like foods that are sweet and salty, calorie-dense, and reject new foods [19].…”

This paper presents an overview to provide readers with an update on the literature about the relation between parental influences (general parenting and food parenting practices) and children's weight-related outcomes. A systematic research review following PRISMA guidelines was conducted to identify, discuss and integrate recent research investigating the relationship between parenting styles, child's obesity. It first summarizes the evidence regarding the role of food parenting practices in shaping and maintaining children's nutritional and weight status. It then describes empirical evidence on the relation between general parenting and children's weight status. Six electronic databases were searched using standardized language to identify quantitative studies describing associations of general parenting styles with children's obesity aged 3-5 years. Eligible peer-reviewed journal articles published between 2010 and 2019 were included. Eleven studies met inclusion criteria. Few studies focused on general feeding. Most studies focused on controlling food parenting practices and general parenting style. Parental restriction of food was positively associated with child obesity, while pressure to eat and monitoring yielded inconsistent results. Parenting styles were consistently associated with obesity among young children. Research is needed to identify positive parenting behaviors around child's weight that may be used as targets for health promotion.

“…The specific details with regard to the implementation of the survey can be found in the literature. [ 23 ] In this study, seventh grade students with normal vision were selected at baseline as the research object. At the same time, data were selected from the baseline wave (the school year 2013–2014) and the third survey wave (in 2015–2016).…”

This study sought to investigate the recent incidence rate of myopia in Chinese junior high school students and analyze the effect of time spent outdoors on myopia, in addition to facilitating the prevention and control of myopia among students. This study was derived from a national panel study, the China Education Panel Survey. We conducted three rounds of follow-up visits among 10,279 seventh grade students from 112 middle schools in 20 provinces in 2013. In total, 3571 students were selected for the analysis in 2020 by excluding those lost to follow-up and students who were myopic in the first round. The primary outcomes were the prevalence of myopia and the effect of time outdoors on myopia. The baseline characteristics of the included students were described, and the correlation between time spent outdoors and myopia in the three rounds of data was analyzed by a correlation chi-square test. Then, the generalized estimation equation (GEE) was used to estimate the influence of time spent outdoors on myopia after follow-up. There were 3571 students with normal baseline vision, and 1508 (42.23%) students progressed from having a normal vision to myopia in the third round, of whom 706 (46.82%) were male and 802 (53.18%) were female. The results of the chi-square test showed that the time spent outdoors of all students and girls, specifically, was related to myopia ( P < .05). Next, the GEE was used to analyze the influence of time spent outdoors on myopia after follow-up. After two model adjustments (individual and family-related characteristics of students), students with < 7 hours/week time spent outdoors retained a high myopia rate than ≥14 hours/week (OR = 1.250; 95% CI: 1.070–1.460). Among boys, there was no statistical correlation between time spent outdoors and myopia ( P > .05). For girls, compared with students who spent ≥14 hours/week outdoors, students with <7 hours/week spent outdoors retained a higher myopia rate (OR = 1.355; 95%CI: 1.067–1.720). Increased time spent outdoors can delay the development of myopia. In terms of gender, girls should be targeted to more effectively prevent and control the development and progression of myopia.

Background Overweight and obesity among adolescents has become a common public health problem, and both obesity rates and the amount of pocket money among adolescents in China are rising. We investigated to what extent the increase in pocket money could lead to weight gain of junior high school students and how this association may vary by school environment in China. Methods We used the three waves of a national longitudinal study– the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS). The generalized estimation equation (GEE) was used to examine the probability of overweight and obesity. Three GEE models were used to examine overweight and obesity determined by pocket money in two different food environments around school. Results A total of 8,903 individuals (4,604 boys and 4,299 girls) from the China Education Panel Survey (CEPS) were included in the current study. After controlling for confounding factors, girls with 20–49 yuan and ≥ 50 yuan have a higher risk of overweight and obesity than 0–9 yuan pocket money (OR = 1.34, 95% CI: 1.07–1.69, OR = 1.53, 95% CI: 1.22–1.92), but there were no significant associations between pocket money and overweight and obesity when food around the school was not convenient. Conclusions The overweight rate of Chinese teenagers continued to rise from Wave1 to Wave3. Adolescents with more pocket money have a higher risk of being overweight and obese.
