Although pediatric obesity is prevalent in low-income and African American and Hispanic communities, validated measures of child eating habits are lacking for these communities. In this study, confirmatory factor analysis was used to validate the hypothesized 7-factor structure of the Children's Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ). The sample included 229 parent-child pairs, the majority low-income and Hispanic (57%) or African American (25%). The a priori structure of the CEBQ failed to replicate. Exploratory factor analysis revealed 3 factors: Disinhibition, Food interest, and Undereating, none predicting child BMI. Although limited by the observational, cross-sectional design, results indicate that the CEBQ needs additional study.
尽管儿科肥胖症在低收入人群以及非裔美国人和西班牙裔社区中很普遍，但这些社区缺乏针对儿童饮食习惯的经过验证的衡量标准。在这项研究中，验证性因子分析被用于验证儿童饮食行为问卷（CEBQ）的假设的 7 因素结构。该样本包括 229 对父母-子女，其中大多数为低收入人群和西班牙裔（57%）或非裔美国人（25%）。CEBQ 的先验结构无法复制。探索性因子分析显示有 3 个因素：抑制失调、食物兴趣和进食不足，都无法预测儿童 BMI。尽管受到观察性、横断面设计的限制，但结果表明 CEBQ 需要进一步研究。
