BackgroundDespite the increased trend of fathermal engagement in browning，fathers remain underrepresented in studies on parenting and children obesity.ObjectivesThis study examined the association between father involvement in browning and children's weight status within a longitudinal dataset from Japanes.MethodsThe data were obtained from a population-based cohort study in Japan（N = 29 584）.父亲参与育儿（年龄18个月）对同一儿童在3.5岁时的体重状况之间的关联通过Logistic回归和线性回归分析进行了研究。此外，我们检查了母亲的就业和父亲参与之间的相互作用，通过创建四个相互排斥的组family.ResultsChildren的父亲高度参与生育是不太可能超重（OR = 0.90，95%CI，0.85 - 0.96）。与父亲参与程度低的母亲相比，父亲参与程度高的母亲生育超重或肥胖儿童的可能性低30%（95%CI，0.55 - 0.90）。支持共同抚养孩子的社会政策，如扩大带薪育儿假，可以帮助家庭抚养体重健康的孩子。
BackgroundDespite the increasing trend of paternal engagement in caregiving, fathers remain underrepresented in studies on parenting and childhood obesity.ObjectivesThis study examined the association between father involvement in caregiving and child's weight status within a longitudinal dataset from Japan.MethodsThe data were obtained from a population‐based cohort study in Japan (N = 29 584). The association between father's involvement in child caregiving (age 18 months) on the weight status of the same children at age 3.5 years was examined by logistic regression and linear regression analysis. Furthermore, we checked the interaction between maternal employment & father involvement by creating four mutually exclusive groups of families.ResultsChildren whose fathers were highly involved in caregiving were less likely to be overweight (OR = 0.90, 95% CI, 0.85‐0.96). Employed mothers with high paternal involvement in caregiving were 30% less likely to have children with overweight or obesity compared to those with low paternal involvement (95% CI, 0.55‐0.90).ConclusionsFather involvement in caregiving is associated with the development of overweight or obesity in early childhood, and may also modify the association between maternal employment and child's weight status. Social policies to support shared child‐rearing such as expanding paid parental leave could help families to raise children with healthy weight.
