Introduction and aim: Parental health is associated with children’s health and lifestyles. Thus, the aim of the present study was to assess lifestyle behaviours of children from parents with insulin resistance (IR) and at risk of type 2 diabetes.
Methods: 2117 European parents from six countries included in the Feel4Diabetes-study measured in 2015 and identified as being at risk for diabetes with the FINDRISC questionnaire were included. Parental IR was considered when homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) was higher than 2.5. Children’s screen-time, physical activity and diet were assessed and clustered by K-means. For children, a Healthy Diet Score (HDS) was calculated. Regression and multilevel logistic regression analyses were performed in 2021.
Results: Children from parents with IR had higher body mass index (BMI) (P < 0.001) and spent more screen time (P = 0.014) than those from non-IR parents. Children from parents with IR had a lower value in the breakfast and vegetable components of the HDS (P = 0.008 and P = 0.05). Four lifestyle clusters were found. Children from IR parents had higher odds of being in a non-healthy cluster (OR: 1.19; 95%CI: 1.001-1.437).
Conclusion: Having an IR parent was associated with a high screen time and an increased probability of having an unhealthy lifestyle pattern in children. Thus, in those families with IR parents, children’s lifestyles should be assessed to prevent the development of IR in children.
