To evaluate 1) maternal perception (MP) of their child's weight, 2) MP of overweight-obesity (OW-OB) of unrelated children (URC),3) MP of image with health risk, and 4) recognition of OW-OB health risks.
A total of 325 mother-child dyads participated. A panel with 7 images was used.The child's body mass index was the gold standard.
A total of 84 of 100 mothers of OW-OB children did not accurately perceive their children's weight. Of the total sample, 97.5% perceived the OW-OB of URC and 83.1% the OW-OB image with health risk. Most of the mothers recognized the health risks.
It is necessary to design multidisciplinary intervention programs to help mothers of OW-OB children accurately recognize their children's weight and, thus, reduce the high prevalence of OW-OB in our population.
评估1)母亲对其孩子体重的感知(MP),2)母亲对无关儿童超重肥胖(OW-OB)的感知,3)母亲对具有健康风险形象的感知,以及4)对超重肥胖健康风险的认知。
共有325对母婴参与。使用了一组包含7张图片。儿童的体重指数是金标准。
超重肥胖儿童的100位母亲中,共有84位没有准确感知其孩子的体重。在总样本中,97.5%的母亲感知到了无关儿童的超重肥胖,83.1%的母亲感知到了具有健康风险的超重肥胖形象。大多数母亲认识到了健康风险。
有必要设计多学科干预项目,以帮助超重肥胖儿童的母亲准确认识其孩子的体重,从而降低我国人群中超重肥胖的高患病率。
