Résumé
Parental body composition, physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) have been linked with offspring body weight and health. However, independent contributions of body composition, PA and ST of both parents on growth trajectories of their offspring, taking into account sex differences, has not been investigated. A total of 114 mother-father-child triads were included for analyses. Parental weight, height, PA and ST were objectively measured at 12 weeks of gestation. Gestational weight gain (GWG) and birthweight and -length were obtained from medical records. Offspring weight and length were measured repeatedly until 1 year of age. Longitudinal linear mixed models, stratified by offspring sex, were used to analyse the association between parental characteristics and offspring growth. GWG (positive association), maternal moderate-to-vigorous PA (negative association) and paternal ST (positive association) were associated with weight trajectories in girls but not in boys. Parental characteristics were not associated with offspring length trajectories. This study highlights the contribution of parental lifestyle characteristics on weight trajectories of their daughters during the first year of life. The paternal impact stresses the need to further investigate health behaviours of expecting fathers in relation to offspring health. Family-based interventions are needed with a focus on increasing PA and limiting ST in both parents.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
Parental body composition, physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) have been linked with offspring body weight and health. However, independent contributions of body composition, PA and ST of both parents on growth trajectories of their offspring, taking into account sex differences, has not been investigated.
METHODS
A total of 114 mother-father-child triads were included for analyses. Parental weight, height, PA and ST were objectively measured at 12 weeks of gestation. Gestational weight gain (GWG) and birthweight and -length were obtained from medical records. Offspring weight and length were measured repeatedly until 1 year of age. Longitudinal linear mixed models, stratified by offspring sex, were used to analyse the association between parental characteristics and offspring growth.
RESULTS
GWG (positive association), maternal moderate-to-vigorous PA (negative association) and paternal ST (positive association) were associated with weight trajectories in girls but not in boys. Parental characteristics were not associated with offspring length trajectories.
CONCLUSIONS
This study highlights the contribution of parental lifestyle characteristics on weight trajectories of their daughters during the first year of life. The paternal impact stresses the need to further investigate health behaviours of expecting fathers in relation to offspring health. Family-based interventions are needed with a focus on increasing PA and limiting ST in both parents.
