Lifestyle-related health behaviours such as screen time, physical activity, sleep duration, and food intake tend to change into non-favourable directions when children become young adolescents. Cross-sectional studies show that family characteristics are important determinants for children’s health behaviours. This study examined whether family characteristics such as parenting practices at meals and family involvement predict a more favourable change in children’s lifestyle-related health behaviours during an 18-month follow-up. 745 children in school grades 4 and 5 (response rate 65%) filled in a baseline questionnaire in the autumn of 2006. A follow-up was conducted in the spring of 2008 (91%). Several health behaviours had changed in a non-favourable direction. Baseline parenting practices at meals and family involvement predicted some of the changes in the lifestyle-related health behaviours in 2008. Parenting practices at meals predicted a smaller increase in TV, DVD viewing time, and a smaller decrease in fruit intake. Amongst family involvement determinants, less time alone at home after school predicted a smaller increase in screen time, a smaller decrease in sleep duration, and a smaller increase in soft drink intake. For conclusion several family characteristics predicted favourable changes in children’s lifestyle-related health behaviours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","mots_cles":[],"class_list":["post-38385","resume","type-resume","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"adresse":"Folkh\u00e4lsan Research Center, Paasikivenkatu 4, 00250 Helsinki, Finland; Hjelt Institute, Department of Public Health, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.\r\n","annee":"2012","mois":"2","numero":"58:1","page":"326-332","auteurs":[{"ID":8308,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 17:58:41","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:58:41","post_content":"","post_title":"Eva Roos","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"eva-roos","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 17:58:41","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:58:41","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/eva-roos\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"},{"ID":8309,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 17:58:42","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:58:42","post_content":"","post_title":"Carola Ray","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"carola-ray","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 17:58:42","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 16:58:42","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/auteur\/carola-ray\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"auteur_resume","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}],"sources":[{"ID":1108,"post_author":"0","post_date":"2018-12-03 14:49:52","post_date_gmt":"2018-12-03 13:49:52","post_content":"","post_title":"Appetite","post_excerpt":"","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"appetite","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2018-12-03 14:49:52","post_modified_gmt":"2018-12-03 13:49:52","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/aprifel-pp.mentalworks.biz\/fr\/source\/appetite\/","menu_order":0,"post_type":"source","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"0","filter":"raw"}]},"yoast_head":"\n
