TI  - Family mealtime interactions and overweight children with asthma: potential for 
      compounded risks?
PG  - 64-8
AB  - OBJECTIVE: Exploratory study aimed to examine differences in family interaction 
      patterns during a routine mealtime between overweight, at-risk for overweight, 
      and average weight children with asthma. METHODS: Eighty families of children 
      with asthma, aged 5-12 years, were videotaped during a mealtime in their homes. 
      The videotapes were rated using the McMaster Mealtime Family Interaction Coding 
      System (MICS). Structural aspects of the meal such as presence of sugary drinks 
      and whether the television was on were also coded. RESULTS: Significant 
      differences were found on the MICS with families of children with asthma who were 
      overweight scoring lower on task accomplishment, affect management, interpersonal 
      involvement, and roles. Families of overweight children with asthma also 
      displayed an increased presence of sugary beverages, shorter meal length, and 
      fewer adults at the table. CONCLUSIONS: Preliminary findings suggest that 
      families with children with asthma who are overweight may have a more difficult 
      time managing mealtimes and feel overwhelmed by this family routine.
