The objective of this study was to examine the association between the scores of the Children's Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ) and BMI in a sample of Portuguese children. Using a cross-sectional design, a sample of 240 children (123 females and 117 males) aged 3-13 years were recruited from clinic and community-based settings. Parents completed the CEBQ to indicate their child's eating style for three 'food approach' and four 'food avoidant' sub-scales. Factor analyses revealed an underlying structure similar to the original CEBQ. Children's height and weight were measured to calculate BMI and Centre for Disease Control BMI z-scores. Hierarchical regression analyses controlling for gender, age and socioeconomic status indicated that all CEBQ sub-scales were significantly associated with BMI z-scores (P = 0.03 to < 0.001). Food approach scales were positively related to BMI z-scores (beta = 0.33-0.51) and food avoidance negatively related (beta = - 0.17 to - 0.46). Our results support the use of the CEBQ to further understand eating style as a behavioural pathway to obesity.
本研究的目的是在一组葡萄牙儿童样本中，检验儿童饮食行为问卷（CEBQ）得分与体重指数（BMI）之间的关联。采用横断面设计，从诊所和社区环境中招募了240名3至13岁的儿童（123名女性和117名男性）。家长们完成了CEBQ，以表明他们孩子在三个“食物喜好”和四个“食物回避”子量表上的饮食风格。因子分析揭示了一种与原始CEBQ相似的潜在结构。测量了儿童的身高和体重，以计算BMI和疾病控制中心BMI z评分。控制性别、年龄和社会经济地位的分层回归分析表明，所有CEBQ子量表均与BMI z评分显著相关（P = 0.03至＜0.001）。食物喜好量表与BMI z评分呈正相关（β = 0.33 - 0.51），食物回避量表与BMI z评分呈负相关（β = - 0.17至 - 0.46）。我们的结果支持使用CEBQ来进一步了解饮食风格作为肥胖的行为途径。
