Based on prior empirical and theoretical work, this study investigated the following hypotheses: (1) maternal exposure to IPV will be associated with higher odds of obesity at age 5 years in their children; (2) maternal exposure to IPV will be associated with feeding practices and behaviors that elevate risk for childhood obesity; and (3) maternal perception of lower neighborhood safety will increase the effect of IPV on
childhood obesity risk.
In summary, the results of this study suggest that maternal feeding behaviors constitute a small but potentially important contributor to
childhood obesity risk.
Moreover, lack of safety may augment the social isolation of women who experience IPV through limiting contact with neighbors, impeding development of supportive relationships and thereby increasing
childhood obesity risk by influencing caretaking ability.
Moreover, interventions aimed at improving neighborhood safety may have a benefit on reducing
childhood obesity risk, even among those exposed to family violence.
Our findings support previous research suggesting that neighborhood safety and community violence are associated with
childhood obesity risk.
