  1. Each parameter of a child’s health behavior and a child’s body composition was investigated in a separate model. All models were adjusted for the child’s age, child’s gender, parental ISCED-level, BMI father, BMI mother, child birth order and the other parenting constructs (n = 288)
  2. β: standardized regression coefficient; p: p-value; the significant associations (p < 0.05) are indicated in bold
  3. aThese models were also adjusted for sleep duration, physical activity and consumption frequency of different food items: sweet foods, soft drinks, fruits and vegetables.
