Abstract
Introduction: Sociodemographic factors such as parental education level (ED) influence the physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SED) of primary school-aged children. In this context, family factors, such as the physical activity-related Family Health Climate (FHCPA), are relevant. However, the effect of FHCPA on the interaction between ED and children's activity behavior has not yet been investigated. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the mediating effect of FHCPA on the relation between parental ED and children's device-based measured PA and SED.
Methods: A total of 94 children and their parents participated in the study. Questionnaires were used to assess parental ED and FHCPA. Children's moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) and SED were measured using accelerometers. Bivariate correlations were conducted to investigate associations between parental ED and MVPA/SED/FHCPA. Mediation analyses were used to investigate the role of FHCPA in the association between maternal and paternal ED and children's MVPA/SED. Results indicate a small correlation between maternal ED and FHCPA for the total sample (ρ = 0.318, p < 0.001) and a medium correlation for girls only (ρ = 0.570, p < 0.001). Mediation analyses showed no significant mediation effect. However, there was a significant direct association when considering FHCPA in the relation between higher maternal ED and SED in girls compared to lower ED.
Discussion: Future research should examine more complex models to further develop and refine to facilitate the derivation of more effective recommendations for health prevention programs, particularly for mothers and girls.
导言：父母教育水平（ED）等社会人口因素会影响小学学龄儿童的体育活动（PA）和久坐行为（SED）。在这种情况下，与体育活动相关的家庭健康氛围（FHCPA）等家庭因素也很重要。然而，FHCPA 对 ED 与儿童活动行为之间相互作用的影响尚未得到研究。因此，本研究旨在分析 FHCPA 对父母 ED 与儿童基于设备测量的 PA 和 SED 之间关系的中介效应：方法：共有 94 名儿童及其家长参与了研究。方法：共有 94 名儿童及其父母参加了这项研究，研究采用问卷调查的方式对父母的 ED 和 FHCPA 进行评估。使用加速度计测量了儿童的中度到剧烈运动（MVPA）和SED。研究人员通过二元相关性分析来探讨父母 ED 与 MVPA/SED/FHCPA 之间的关系。中介分析用于研究 FHCPA 在母亲和父亲 ED 与儿童 MVPA/SED 之间的关联中的作用。结果表明，在所有样本中，母亲 ED 与 FHCPA 之间存在微小相关性（ρ = 0.318，p < 0.001），而仅在女孩中存在中等相关性（ρ = 0.570，p < 0.001）。中介分析显示没有明显的中介效应。然而，如果考虑到 FHCPA，则与较低的 ED 相比，较高的母亲 ED 与女孩的 SED 之间存在明显的直接关联：讨论：未来的研究应研究更复杂的模型，以进一步发展和完善，从而为健康预防计划（尤其是针对母亲和女童的健康预防计划）提供更有效的建议。
