Summary

Objective:
The main aim of study was to determine the family variables increasing odds for overweight/obesity in 4–7-years old preschool children on weekdays and at weekends during a seven-day monitoring of physical activity (PA) and screen time (ST) in families with pre-schoolers.

Methods:
The cross-sectional study analysing seven-day PA and sedentary behaviours among families with pre-schoolers was conducted in 10 kindergartens in 194 preschool children (88 girls and 107 boys) and their parents (164 mothers and 110 fathers) during spring and autumn 2015. PA was monitored by unsealed pedometer (Yamax Digiwalker SW-200) for at least 8 hours a day over 7 consecutive days. ST was recorded by parents on the family record sheet with accuracy of 10 minutes. For assessing the odds of parent’s obesity, PA/ST variables in relation to child overweight/obesity, we used logistic regression (backward method).

Results:
Significantly higher ST (p < 0.01) at weekends than on weekdays was recorded in normal weight and overweight/obese pre-schoolers, as well as in non-obese and obese mothers, and non-obese fathers. Children’s excessive ST (> 1 hour/day) (OR: 5.65/33.19 on weekdays/weekend days, p < 0.05), mothers’ obesity (OR: 13.80/28.84 on weekdays/weekend days, p < 0.05), mothers’ excessive ST (2 hours/day) (OR: 32.46 on weekend days, p < 0.05) and male gender in children (OR: 38.69 on weekend days, p < 0.05) was significantly associated with higher odds for being overweight/obese in preschool children.

Conclusions:
Mother’s obesity and excessive screen time in pre-schoolers significantly increase the odds of their overweight/obesity. At the weekends, excessive mother's ST and male gender in children are also associated with higher odds of being overweight/obese in pre-schoolers. Weekends provide a suitable space for the implementation of joint family programs aimed at reducing sedentary behaviour, which is a significant factor associated with incidence of overweight/obesity in pre-schoolers.
