Associations between parental and pre-adolescents' physical activity and diet quality: The role of parental child care involvement and child's sex

CONCLUSION: These findings demonstrate that both parental behaviours represent an important factor in physical activity and diet quality in pre-adolescents in a sex-specific manner. As such, it is essential to include both parents in research to obtain the necessary insights for developing effective interventions to promote children's healthy eating and physical activity behaviours.PMID:37356411 | DOI:10.1016/j.eatbeh.2023.101775
