Caregiver feeding practices have been linked to youth health outcomes. The present study examined associations among caregiver feeding practices and blood pressure in 212 African American adolescents via the Child Feeding Practices Questionnaire. Results revealed a positive association between caregivers' concern about their child's weight and diastolic blood pressure, which was more acute for older adolescent boys. Caregivers' perceived responsibility for the quality and quantity of food their child receives was also associated with lower diastolic blood pressure in older adolescent boys. Feeding practices are ideal targets of lifestyle intervention, and health care providers should continue to involve caregivers as adolescents approach adulthood.
照顾者的喂养方式与青少年的健康结果有关。本研究通过儿童喂养方式问卷，调查了212名非裔美国青少年中照顾者喂养方式与血压之间的关联。结果显示，照顾者对孩子体重的关注与舒张压之间存在正相关，这种相关性在年龄较大的青少年男孩中更为明显。照顾者对孩子所摄入食物的质量和数量的责任感，也与年龄较大的青少年男孩较低的舒张压有关。喂养方式是生活方式干预的理想目标，随着青少年接近成年，医疗保健提供者应继续让照顾者参与进来。
