Stress is Associated with Adiposity in Parents of Young Children
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Objective This study investigated associations between stress (general stress, parenting distress, and household chaos) and adiposity among parents of young children. Methods The sample consisted of 49 mothers and 61 fathers from 70 families with young children living in Ontario, Canada. Linear regression using generalized estimating equations was used to investigate associations between stress measures and BMI, waist circumference (WC), waist to height ratio (WHtR), and percent fat mass. Results General stress was significantly associated with BMI ( = 0.54; 95% CI: 0.04‐1.03) and WC ( = 1.44; 95% CI: 0.10‐2.77). Parenting distress was significantly associated with BMI ( = 0.16; 95% CI: 0.02‐0.31), WC ( = 0.39; 95% CI: 0.04‐0.75), and WHtR ( = 0.003; 95% CI: 0.001‐0.005). Household chaos was significantly associated with all adiposity measures (BMI: = 0.20 [95% CI: 0.08‐0.33]; WC: = 0.48 [95% CI: 0.21‐0.75]; WHtR: = 0.003 [95% CI: 0.001‐0.005]; percent fat mass: = 0.29 [95% CI: 0.08‐0.49]). Conclusions General stress, parenting distress, and household chaos are associated with adiposity among parents of young children. Future research should elucidate mechanisms by which this occurs and elucidate how this risk may be mitigated.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
