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.'
