虽然父母的社会经济地位（SES）对儿童的体重状况的影响是众所周知的，其他家庭相关的方面，如父母和祖父母的社会支持的影响是不太了解。本研究调查的重要性，父母的社会经济地位和社会支持（功能和结构）的体重状况的学龄前儿童4-6岁的肥胖（n=39，56%的女孩，73%的父母超重/肥胖，50%的非瑞典血统）的临床样本。以儿童BMI SDS（身体质量指数标准差评分）为因变量，对SES和社会支持进行简单和多重线性回归分析。结果显示，父母的收入和来自祖父母的情感支持较低与更严重的肥胖显着相关。父母收入和孩子的BMI SDS之间的关联在父母的情感支持较低的父母中更强。总之，祖父母的社会支持可能对儿童肥胖有保护作用。
While the influence of parental socioeconomic status (SES) on children's weight status is well known, the impact of other family-related aspects such as parental and grandparental social support is less understood. This study investigates the importance of parents' SES and social support (functional and structural) for weight status in a clinical sample of preschoolers 4-6 years old with obesity (n=39, 56% girls; 73% of parents were overweight/obese, 50% were of non-Swedish origin). Linear regression analyses, simple and multiple, were performed on SES and social support with child BMI SDS (body mass index standard deviation score) as the dependent variable. The results show that parents' income and low emotional support from paternal grandparents were significantly associated with more severe obesity. The association between parental income and the child's BMI SDS was stronger among parents who had low emotional support from their own parents. In conclusion, grandparental social support may be protective against childhood obesity.
