Mothers' Income and Young Adult Children's Education and Fast Food Intake American Journal of Health Behavior 44,5 (September 2020): 681-690. Also: https://www.ingentaconnect.com/content/png/ajhb/2020/00000044/00000005/art00011 Cohort(s): NLSY79, NLSY79 Young Adult Publisher: PNG Publications Keyword(s): Educational Attainment; Mothers, Income; Nutritional Status/Nutrition/Consumption Behaviors Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Objectives: In this study, we examine young adult children's educational attainment as a mediator in the pathway from their mother's income to their fast food consumption. Methods: The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979 (NLSY79) and the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 79 for Children and Young Adults (NLSY79 CY) were used to select mother and children dyads. A total of 5140 dyads were selected as the final sample. We used a mediation model to test mediators in the relationship between mother's income and young adult children's fast food consumption. Results: Mother's income was significantly related to their young adult children's educational attainment. Mother's income was negatively related to fast food consumption. This study revealed partial mediation of the relationship between mother's income and their young adult children's fast food consumption via their young adult children's educational attainment. |

Longitudinal Trajectories of Perceived Body Weight: Adolescence to Early Adulthood American Journal of Health Behavior 36,2 (March 2012): 242-253. Also: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22370261 Cohort(s): NLSY97 Publisher: PNG Publications Keyword(s): Attitudes; Gender Differences; Racial Differences; Weight Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. OBJECTIVE:To examine longitudinal trajectories of perceived weight from adolescence to early adulthood by gender. METHODS: We analyzed 9 waves (1997-2005) of data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth (N = 8302) using Mplus. RESULTS: Perceived overweight increased over time among girls and did not level off until 23 years of age. Blacks had a lower perceived weight for their actual weight and a slower rate of increase in perceived weight than did whites. CONCLUSION: Intervention programs designed to prevent or reduce obesity should evaluate weight perceptions for both adolescents and young adults prior to implementing each intervention. |
