3. Résumé

Results of the study show that «[t]he investigation of factors linked to healthier lifestyle led to interesting results. The odds of watching >2h of screen time per day was lower for adolescents with parents’ PA [physical activity] variety ≥2 (OR=0.33; p=0.040). This result, in addition to the positive association found between the variety of parental PA and MVPA [moderate-to-vigorous physical activity], reveals that T1D [type 1 diabetes] adolescents with parents that were performing a larger variety of PAs had a healthier lifestyle: they exercised more and spent less time in front of screens. Moreover, a wider variety of parental PAs appeared to be more important than parents participating in PAs with their child and the actual parental PA level per se. Several previous reports have looked into the association between parental PA behavior and their child’s PA level in different populations. However, to our knowledge, none of these studies specifically examined the variety of parental PAs as a potential factor. One can speculate that parents with a wide variety of activities is a contributing factor in helping their children find activities that are well suited for them.» (p. 27)
