TY - JOUR AU - Pyper, Evelyn AU - Harrington, Daniel AU - Manson, Heather PY - 2016 DA - 2016/08/24 TI - The impact of different types of parental support behaviours on child physical activity, healthy eating, and screen time: a cross-sectional study JO - BMC Public Health SP - 568 VL - 16 IS - 1 AB - In Canada, 31.5 % of children are overweight or obese, putting them at an increased risk of chronic co-morbidities and premature mortality. Physical activity, healthy eating, and screen time are important behavioural determinants of childhood overweight and obesity that are influenced by the family environment, and particularly parents’ support behaviours. However, there is currently a limited understanding of which types of these support behaviours have the greatest positive impact on healthy child behaviours. This study aims to determine the relative contribution of different types of parental support behaviours for predicting the likelihood that children meet established guidelines for daily physical activity, daily fruit and vegetable consumption, and recreational screen time.
