目标。我们调查了母亲的非标准工作安排是否与青少年超重有关。我们使用来自全国青少年纵向调查的母亲-孩子对样本（n=2353）进行了多元回归分析，以检验母亲在非标准时间表上工作的年数与13岁或14岁青少年超重之间的关系。家庭收入和家庭类型也分别进行了分析。如果母亲在非标准时间工作几年或多年，孩子的体重指数会显著增加。超重的风险也与母亲1至4年和10年或更长时间的非标准工作时间表显著相关。在这两种情况下，结果都是由那些预计收入在第二四分之一（“接近贫穷”）的家庭驱动的，在双亲家庭中，几年或多年的非标准工作时间表也与青少年超重的风险增加有关。结果表明，在13岁或14岁时，母亲不标准的工作安排与青少年超重之间被忽视的关联的重要性。在近乎贫困的家庭和双亲家庭中，不标准的工作时间表可能会破坏工作与家庭的平衡，从而影响青少年的超重。
Objectives. We investigated whether nonstandard work schedules by mothers were associated with adolescent overweight.Methods. We conducted multiple regression analyses using a sample of mother-child pairs (n=2353) from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to examine the association between the number of years mothers worked at nonstandard schedules and adolescent overweight at age 13 or 14 years. Separate analyses were also conducted by family income and family type.Results. Child's body mass index increased significantly if mothers worked either a few years or many years at nonstandard schedules. Risk of overweight was also significantly associated with 1 to 4 and 10 or more years of maternal nonstandard work schedules. In both cases, results were driven by those families with predicted incomes in the 2nd quartile ("near-poor"), with a few or many years of nonstandard work schedules also associated with increased risk of adolescent overweight in 2-parent families.Conclusions. Results indicate the importance of the overlooked association between maternal nonstandard work schedules and adolescent overweight at age 13 or 14 years. Nonstandard work schedules among near-poor families and in 2-parent families may disrupt the work-family balance, affecting adolescent overweight.
