Aims
Using cross-lagged panel analysis, this study tested the associations between sedentary behaviors and depressive symptoms among dyads of parents and their 9-15-year-old children. Both within-person and across-person effects were investigated.
Methods
Data from 203 dyads were collected at Time 1 (T1; baseline), Time 2 (T2; 8-month follow-up), and Time 3 (T3; 14-month follow-up). Parents/legal guardians were mostly women (86.7 %), aged 29–66 years. Depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 and sedentary time was measured with GT3X-BT accelerometers. Between T1 and T2, all dyads were enrolled in a healthy lifestyle education program, addressing definitions and patterns of sedentary behaviors, health consequences of sedentary behaviors, and strategies for interrupting sedentary bouts and minimizing overall sedentary time. Analyses controlled for age, gender, parental socioeconomic status and education level.
Results
Among children, more sedentary time at T1 was associated with more depressive symptoms at T2 (B = 0.197, SE=0.078). Depressive symptoms at T1 were related to more sedentary time at T2 (B = 0.192, SE = 0.058). Only one across-person indirect effect was found: more depressive symptoms among children at T1 were linked to more sedentary time among children at T2, and, in turn, to more parental depressive symptoms (B = 0.023; SE = 0.013) at T3.
Conclusion
The study provides preliminary evidence for both within-person and between-person associations linking children's depressive symptoms to their subsequent sedentary time, as well as to the sedentary time of their parents. These findings emphasize the need for family-based intervention approaches that address both sedentary behaviors and mental health.
