Abstract (type = abstract)
An increased understanding of factors in the home environment that support or thwart healthy weight status could assist healthcare providers, researchers, parents, and caregivers in creating home environments that support optimal child growth and development. The home environment may be described in numerous ways, including its demographic (e.g., household composition), psychographic (e.g., maternal stress), and behavioral (e.g., sleep duration and physical activity) characteristics, as well as the physical near environment (e.g., home and neighborhood). Thus, the purpose of this study is to comprehensively examine the demographic, psychographic, behavioral, and physical environment characteristics that are associated with weight status in preschool aged children (ages 2 to 5 years) and their mothers. The main research questions for this study are: 1) describe what are the weight-related characteristics of the home environments (i.e., parental demographic, psychographic, behavioral, and physical environment characteristics) of preschool children?, 2) describe how do weightrelated characteristics of home environments differ with the weight status of mothers?, and 3A) examine what intrapersonal, interpersonal, and home environment characteristics were associated with maternal obese vs. non-obese weight status?; 3B) what is the obesity risk of non-obese mothers based on a score derived using the characteristics elucidated in Question 3A?; and 3C) how do non-obese mothers’ intrapersonal, interpersonal, and home environmental characteristics differ based on their obesity risk score tertile? A large, diverse sample of mothers of preschool-aged children (n=550) were recruited to complete an online survey comprised of valid, reliable scales to evaluate the home environment characteristics of families with preschool-aged children and assess the obesity risk of children and mothers.
