Abstract
Aim: Little is known about impact of maternal alcohol and tobacco consumption on adolescentsâ�?�? body size. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether maternal alcohol or tobacco consumption is associated with their childrenâ�?�?s body size in adolescence, assessed by Body Mass Index (BMI). Methods: This study was conducted in subjects recruited into the Finnish Health in Teens cohort (Fin-HIT) between 2011 and 2014. A total of 4,525 subjects aged between 9 and 14 years and their mothers or female adults responsible for the children were analyzed. Relative risks (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were estimated using multinomial logistic regression. Results: Most children were normal weight (74.5%), 10.6% were underweight and 14.9% were overweight or obese. Among mothers, 50.6% were never smokers, 35.7% were former smokers, and 13.7% were current smokers. Alcohol consumption was classified by Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT), 12.7% were abstainers (score=0), 65.0% were low-moderate drinkers (scores 1-4) and 22.3% were harmful drinkers (scoresâ�?¥5). There were statistically significant associations between currently smoking mothers and childrenâ�?�?s overweight (RR=1.36; 95% CI: 1.05-1.75). There was an inverse association between maternal former smoking and childrenâ�?�?s underweight (RR=0.70; CI: 0.56-0.87) compared to never smoker mothers. Among children in puberty, abstainer mothers were more likely to have underweight children compared to low-moderate mothers (RR=1.57; 95% CI: 1.03-2.41). Conclusion: Current smoker mothers were associated with childrenâ�?�?s overweight and former-smoker mothers were inversely associated with the childrenâ�?�?s underweight. Being an abstainer mother was associated with the childrenâ�?�?s underweight in puberty stage. If other studies confirm these results, public health interventions aiming at healthy weight of adolescents should target the whole family, not only the adolescents themselves.
