Association of parents’ physical activity and weight status with obesity and metabolic risk of their offspring
Associação do status de atividade física e peso dos pais com os indicadores de obesidade e risco metabólico dos filhos
Abstract
Our aim was to analyze the joint association of parental characteristics and offspring obesity indicators with metabolic risk in adolescents. A cross-sectional study was carried out with 972 adolescents and their parents. We observed that overweight adolescents who have a normal weight mother show lower metabolic risk in comparison with their counterparts with overweight mothers. In conclusion, mother’s weight status moderates the relationship between offspring’ obesity indicators and metabolic risk in adolescents.
