父母是子女家庭社会环境的榜样和家庭决策者。此外，父母可以通过提供资源来支持孩子的饮食，活动和睡眠行为来影响家庭物理环境。了解与儿童家庭环境相关的父母特征可能有助于针对家庭需求制定肥胖干预措施。本研究旨在探讨幼儿的父母素质（一般父母教养方式、父母喂养方式和父母BMI）与健康家庭食物、身体活动、媒体和睡眠环境的关系。共有50名多民族的父母与幼儿年龄的儿童谁参加了一项随机试点研究的健康计划完成了结构和控制的父母喂养（SCPF）问卷和综合一般养育问卷（CGPQ）。父母的BMI是使用自我报告的体重和身高数据计算的。健康家庭调查、家庭食物清单、睡眠环境问卷和为本研究开发的项目进行了标准化和汇总，以创建家庭食物、身体活动、屏幕媒体和睡眠环境评分;高分反映了更健康的环境。为了研究父母素质和家庭环境之间的关系，皮尔森相关检验进行。父母BMI和整体健康的家庭环境呈负相关（r = -0.306; p = 0.032）。一般养育结构和父母喂养习惯分别与整体健康家庭环境（r = 0.336; p = 0.026）和健康家庭饮食环境（r = 0.415; p = 0.003）呈正相关。强制控制型父母教养方式与总体健康家庭环境评分呈负相关（r = -0.333; p = 0.022）。根据这项研究的结果，提供明确沟通的父母，制定一致的规则，避免控制孩子行为的压力，以及BMI较低的父母往往生活在一个支持孩子健康行为的家庭环境中。
Parents serve as role models and household policy makers for their children's home social environment. Also, parents may influence the home physical environment through the provision of resources to support their children's dietary, activity, and sleep behaviors. Understanding the parental characteristics related to children's home environment may allow for tailoring obesity interventions to families' needs. This study aimed to explore parental qualities (general parenting styles, parent feeding practices, and parental BMI) related to healthy home food, physical activity, media and sleep environment of toddlers. A total of 50 multi-ethnic parents with toddler age children who were enrolled in a randomized pilot study of a wellness program completed the Structure and Control in Parent Feeding (SCPF) questionnaire and Comprehensive General Parenting Questionnaire (CGPQ). Parental BMI was calculated using self-reported weight and height data. The Healthy Home Survey, the Home Food Inventory, the Sleep Environment Questionnaire, and items developed for this study were standardized and summed to create home food, physical activity, screen media, and sleep environment scores; high scores reflected healthier environments. To examine the relationships between parental qualities and the home environment, Pearson's correlation test was performed. Parental BMI and overall healthy home environment were inversely associated (r = -0.306; p = 0.032). Structure in general parenting and parental feeding practice were positively correlated with the overall healthy home environment (r = 0.336; p = 0.026) and healthy home food environment (r = 0.415; p = 0.003), respectively. The coercive control general parenting was inversely related to overall healthy home environment score (r = -0.333; p = 0.022). Based on the findings from this study, parents who provide clear communication, set consistent rules, avoid pressure to control their child's behavior, and have lower BMI tend to live in a home environment that support children's health behaviors.
