abstract: 'Using data from the 1986 to 2010 National Longitudinal Study of Youth
(NLSY) and the NLSY Child and Young Adult Supplement, this research
explores how changes in parental socioeconomic status relate to child
obesity over time. Results from linear mixed-effects models indicate
that maternal educational gains and maternal employment transitions
significantly increased their child''s body mass index (BMI). This
finding suggests that mothers who work may have less time to devote to
monitoring their child''s food intake and physical activity, which places
their children at higher risks of becoming overweight or obese over
time. Conversely, father''s work transitions and educational gains
contribute to decreases in child''s BMI. Thus, work instability and
increasing educational attainment for the traditional breadwinner of the
household corresponds to better child weight outcomes. Results also
suggest that there are racial differences in child BMI that remain after
adjusting for changes in socioeconomic status, which indicate that the
same structural disadvantages that operate to keep minorities in lower
social class standings in society also work to hinder minorities from
advancing among and out of their social class. Policy implications
related to curbing child obesity are discussed.'
