However, studies that include considerations for cultural influences are limited, and methodology that considers direct reports from young adults and their parents across cultures does not exist.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A sample of young adults (N\u2009=\u2009327) and their parents in the U.S. and in China were recruited and completed a series of questionnaires in two cycles (2010 and 2014). With correlation and multiple regression analyses, parents\u2019 characteristics, behaviors, and parental authority styles were examined and compared to weight\u2010related health behaviors and bodyweight of their young\u2010adult children. Additionally, similarities and differences of parental influences between the two cultures were explored.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Parents\u2019 body mass indexes (BMIs) and dietary behaviors were positively associated with those of their young adult children in the mixed\u2010culture sample (P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001 for both). When controlling for gender, at high levels of authoritarian and permissive parental authority, the relationships between young adults' and their parents\u2019 BMIs were negative for U.S. participants and positive for Chinese participants (P\u2009&lt;\u2009.05 for both). Further, at high levels of authoritarian parenting, the relationship between young adults' and their parents\u2019 dietary consumption behaviors was negative for U.S. participants and positive for Chinese participants (P\u2009&lt;\u2009.001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study provides evidence that the development of life\u2010long health behaviors that contribute to BMI are significantly influenced by parents\u2019 behaviors and parenting styles.
