This study investigated the relationship between parental concern about child weight and weight-related child behaviors, parenting practices, and household characteristics.
Parent-child dyads (N=421) enrolled in a randomized, controlled obesity prevention trial were evaluated at baseline.
Parental concern regarding child weight was associated with greater use of restrictive and monitoring feeding practices and lower total child energy intake.
Parents expressing greater concern about child weight were more likely to report engaging in strategies to regulate their child's dietary intake, some of which may inadvertently have negative consequences. Intervention strategies that activate parental concern about child weight should include guidance and support for engaging in feeding practices that support healthful child eating patterns and growth.
本研究调查了父母对孩子体重的担忧与体重相关的孩子行为、养育方式及家庭特征之间的关系。
参与一项随机对照肥胖预防试验的亲子二元组(N = 421)在基线时进行了评估。
父母对孩子体重的担忧与更多地采用限制性和监控性喂养方式以及孩子较低的总能量摄入有关。
对孩子体重表达出更多担忧的父母更有可能报告采取策略来调节孩子的饮食摄入,其中一些策略可能会无意中产生负面影响。激发父母对孩子体重担忧的干预策略应包括指导和支持,以采用有助于孩子健康饮食模式和成长的喂养方式。
