很少有研究关注家庭膳食与成人体重和健康行为之间的关系。目前的研究调查了家庭进餐频率与母亲和父亲的体重指数（BMI）、饮食摄入量、节食行为和暴饮暴食之间的关系。当前的分析使用了 F-EAT 项目（青少年的家庭、饮食和活动）的数据。参加一项基于人口的多层次研究 (EAT 2010) 的青少年的社会经济和种族/民族多样化的父母 (n = 3488) 完成了邮寄到家中的调查。计算每个家庭用餐频率水平的每个结果变量的预测平均值或概率。在所有模型中都评估了种族/民族和婚姻状况与家庭膳食之间的相互作用。总体而言，结果表明，在调整年龄、教育程度、婚姻状况和种族/民族后，更频繁的家庭聚餐与母亲和父亲水果和蔬菜的消费量增加有关。其他发现包括父亲较少的快餐摄入量以及母亲较少的节食和暴饮暴食行为，这些发现与家庭进餐频率显着相关，但在所有家庭进餐类别或体重指数之间并不一致。种族/族裔和婚姻状况之间的相互作用并不显着，这表明家庭聚餐对于跨种族和婚姻状况的更健康饮食摄入可能很重要。未来的研究应该证实纵向分析的结果，以确定关联的时间性和强度。 (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Few studies have looked at the relationship between family meals and adult weight and health behaviors. The current study investigates the association between frequency of family meals and mothers' and fathers' body mass index (BMI), dietary intake, dieting behaviors and binge eating. Data from Project F-EAT (Families and Eating and Activity in Teens) were used for the current analysis. Socio-economically and racially/ethnically diverse mothers and fathers (n = 3488) of adolescents participating in a multi-level population-based study (EAT 2010) completed surveys mailed to their homes. Predicted means or probabilities were calculated for each outcome variable at each level of family meal frequency. Interactions between race/ethnicity and marital status with family meals were evaluated in all models. Overall, results indicated that having more frequent family meals was associated with increased consumption of fruits and vegetables for mothers and fathers, after adjusting for age, educational attainment, marital status and race/ethnicity. Other findings including less fast food intake for fathers and fewer dieting and binge eating behaviors for mothers were significantly associated with family meal frequency, but not consistently across all family meal categories or with BMI. Interactions by race/ethnicity and marital status were non-significant, indicating that family meals may be important for more healthful dietary intake across race and marital status. Future research should confirm findings in longitudinal analyses to identify temporality and strength of associations. (c) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
