Article Snippet: Maher et al., 2017 [ ]. Cross-sectional , , 8–12 , N = 191 mothers Simple linear regression, multiple linear regression, and moderation analysis , Height and weight were measured using an electronically calibrated digital scale and professional stadiometer. These data were used to calculate the body mass indexes for mothers and CDC age- and sex-specific BMI percentiles for children. , Physical activity (PA) and sedentary behavior (SB) were measured in children via an ActiGraph GT2M or GT3X accelerometer-based activity monitor (Firmware v06.02.00; ActiGraph, Pensacola, FL, USA). , , Maternal mental health: Depression Scale, State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Cohen’s Perceived Stress Scale, Parenting Stress Scale, Financial Stress Scale, and Life Events Stress Scale. Maternal well-being: Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale and Satisfaction with Life Scale. , Questionnaires assessing age, household type, marital status, maternal employment status, maternal education level, annual household income, and race or ethnicity for themselves and their children , There was a stronger link between maternal parenting stress and children’s physical activity (PA) in single-parent households compared with dual-multigenerational households. A less conclusive association was observed between maternal parenting stress and children’s sedentary behavior (SB) in single-parent families. Children participated in just under an hour of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) per valid day while spending over half of their accelerometer wear time engaged in SB. Three-fourths of the children in the sample had at least 7 h of SB each day. , , .
