Inclusion Criteria:
Reported on at least one of the three domains of the HE (food, activity and/ or media). Each domain was required to be assessed in terms of either the physical (availability of, and access to; foods, media or PA equipment) and/or social aspects (caregiver modelling/support or caregiver policies and rules around energy balance behaviours). Studies were also required to provide a quantitative estimate of the association between the chosen HE domain(s) and a measure of adiposity (e.g. BMI z-score). Studies were eligible for inclusion if they were peer-reviewed original observational research studies and recruited from nonclinical, non-intervention populations. The population of interest was children aged =12 years.
Exclusion Criteria:
Family mealtimes were excluded from the definition of the social home food environment as a recently published review examined the relationship between family mealtimes and child weight.
Research Purpose:
To examine associations between the social and physical aspects of three pre-defined Home Environment domains (food, physical activity and media) and adiposity measures in children =12 years.
