A substantial proportion of adults with eating disorders are parents. Studies suggest these parents may experience a range of parenting challenges, and their children may be at an increased risk for the development of eating disorders themselves. With parenting practices being one potential environmental mechanism for the intergenerational transmission of eating disorders, we systematically searched Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed, MEDLINE, PsychINFO, and PsychArticles for controlled studies in which parenting attitudes, behaviours, and parent-child interactions were examined for parents with and without probable eating disorders. 26,512 abstracts were screened, and 167 full-text manuscripts were retrieved, with 33 studies meeting the review inclusion criteria. Studies suggest that parents with eating disorders experience higher levels of parenting stress than control parents, and may on average be more intrusive, less sensitive, and provide less structuring/facilitation in non-feeding interactions with their children. These parents also appear, on average, to experience increased concern about their children's weight, and parent-child mealtime interactions may be problematic and characterised by high levels of conflict. Suggestions for future research are made with a view to enhancing understandings of the intergenerational transmission of eating disorders, which may lead to the identification of intervention targets for parents with eating disorders and their children.

很大一部分患有饮食失调的成年人是父母。研究表明，这些父母可能会遇到一系列育儿挑战，他们的孩子本身患饮食失调的风险可能会增加。由于育儿做法是饮食失调代际传播的一种潜在环境机制，我们系统地搜索了 Scopus、Web of Science、PubMed、MEDLINE、PsychINFO 和 PsychArticles 进行对照研究，其中检查了育儿态度、行为和亲子互动对于有和没有可能的饮食失调的父母。筛选了26,512篇摘要，检索到167篇全文手稿，其中33项研究符合综述纳入标准。研究表明，饮食失调的父母比对照组父母承受更高水平的育儿压力，并且平均而言可能更具侵入性，敏感性较低，并且在与孩子的非进食互动中提供较少的结构/促进。平均而言，这些父母似乎也越来越关注他们孩子的体重，而亲子进餐时间的互动可能会出现问题，并以高度冲突为特征。对未来的研究提出建议，以期加深对饮食失调的代际传递的理解，这可能有助于确定饮食失调父母及其子女的干预目标。并在与孩子的非喂食互动中提供较少的结构/促进。平均而言，这些父母似乎也越来越关注他们孩子的体重，而亲子进餐时间的互动可能会出现问题，并以高度冲突为特征。对未来的研究提出建议，以期加深对饮食失调的代际传递的理解，这可能有助于确定饮食失调父母及其子女的干预目标。并在与孩子的非喂食互动中提供较少的结构/促进。平均而言，这些父母似乎也越来越关注他们孩子的体重，而亲子进餐时间的互动可能会出现问题，并以高度冲突为特征。对未来的研究提出建议，以期加深对饮食失调的代际传递的理解，这可能有助于确定饮食失调父母及其子女的干预目标。
