To characterize the knowledge, attitudes, and beliefs (KAB) regarding childhood obesity among parents of Latino preschoolers.
Three hundred sixty-nine Mexican immigrant parents of children ages 2-5 were interviewed. Children were weighed and measured.
Parents underestimated their own child's weight status and had high levels of perceived control over their children's eating and activity behaviors. Parents of overweight (>95%ile-for-age-and-sex BMI) versus nonoverweight (<95%ile BMI) children did not differ in their beliefs about ideal child body size.
Latino parents of overweight children did not differ from parents of nonoverweight children with respect to their KAB about childhood obesity.

对369名2至5岁儿童的墨西哥移民父母进行了访谈。对儿童进行了称重和测量。
父母低估了自己孩子的体重状况,并且对孩子的饮食和活动行为有较高的控制感。超重(年龄和性别BMI>第95百分位数)儿童的父母与非超重(BMI<第95百分位数)儿童的父母对理想儿童体型的看法没有差异。
超重儿童的拉丁裔父母与非超重儿童的父母在关于儿童肥胖的KAB方面没有差异。
