PARENTING PRACTICES AND MOTHERS BEHAVIOURAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC FACTORS INFLUENCING THEIR 2 YEAR OLD CHILD’S PHYSICAL ACTIVITY  Maria Horne1,2 Daniel D Bingham1,3 Liana Nagy1,2 Stacy Clemes3, Sally E Barber1  1Bradford Institute for Health Research, West Yorkshire, UK.  2Faculty of Health Studies, School of Nursing, University of Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK.  3School of Sport, Health and Exercise Sciences, Loughborough University, Leicestershire, UK    Early life factors are important in developing and shaping physical activity (PA).  Mothers have a crucial role in their children’s PA in the early years of life.  Identifying maternal factors associated with PA during the early years is a necessary first step to develop effective interventions. BACKGROUND     1214 participants (mother and child) were examined when the child was approximately 2 years of age from the BiB longitudinal multi-ethnic birth cohort study.   Outcome variable  =  children meeting guidelines of 180 minutes of total physical activity (TPA) Early Years Physical Activity Questionnaire  (EY-PAQ).   Multiple predictor variables across the socio-ecological model were measured, including parental practices.   Significant difference s found  using bivariate analysis (Pearson Chi-Square)  were further analysed by hierarchical multivariate logistic regression models.   Sex, age and ethnicity were controlled for and the odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (Cl) were calculated.    METHODS AIM Identify maternal factors that influence  physical activity behaviour in 2 year old children.    651 (78%) children met PA guidelines; 178 (22%) did not.  Positive associations were found for (Table 1): 1) <1hour maternal TV/DVD; 2) mother being sedentary; 3) encouragement to play active games 5-6 times a week and everyday; 4) limiting playing outside everyday.   Negative associations were found for (Table 1): 1) How often children played in the garden/yard.

Variables across the socio-ecological model were associated with meeting PA guidelines; supporting PA is a multi-domain complex behaviour.   Children were more active when mothers were sedentary and when they spent less time outside in the garden/yard.   Future research within this unique bi-ethnic population using objective measures is required. CONCLUSIONS Facebook: borninbradford @Daniel_Bingham / @bibresearch /@PAPHRG
