Parental Acculturation and Its Effect on Preschool-Aged Children's Health Behaviors Among Latinos in Nevada: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Previous studies suggest that acculturation to the US is associated with health behaviors such as diet, body mass index (BMI), and physical activity. However, the role of parental acculturation remains understudied, particularly with the use of validated measures.
