BACKGROUND
An accurate perception of weight status is important to prevent childhood obesity.
OBJECTIVE
We investigated whether parents and health professionals accurately identify children's weight status.
METHODS
On the 2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey: National Youth Fitness Survey, parents and health professionals rated the same child's weight status as overweight or healthy. The sensitivity and specificity of their answers were computed by comparing parents' and health professionals' ratings to the age growth chart from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
RESULTS
Participants were 1571 children. Parents' sensitivity and specificity were 0.386 and 0.992, respectively. Health professionals' sensitivity and specificity were 0.343 and 0.981, respectively.
CONCLUSIONS
Parents and health professionals demonstrate low sensitivity in identifying children's weight status. Health professionals should use the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention categories to more accurately identify children who are overweight.
背景
准确认知体重状况对于预防儿童肥胖至关重要。
目的
我们调查了父母和健康专业人员是否能准确识别儿童的体重状况。
方法
在2012年全国健康与营养检查调查：全国青少年健身调查中，父母和健康专业人员将同一儿童的体重状况评定为超重或健康。通过将父母和健康专业人员的评定结果与美国疾病控制与预防中心的年龄生长图表进行比较，计算出他们答案的敏感性和特异性。
结果
参与者为1571名儿童。父母的敏感性和特异性分别为0.386和0.992。健康专业人员的敏感性和特异性分别为0.343和0.981。
结论
父母和健康专业人员在识别儿童体重状况方面表现出较低的敏感性。健康专业人员应使用疾病控制与预防中心的分类标准来更准确地识别超重儿童。
