摘要
Objective: Parents' concerns about their child's feeding may lead parents to pressure their child to eat, which may lead to a greater risk for obesity. We aimed to assess if parental concerns for picky eating and undereating are associated with pressure to eat and increased child BMI z-score (BMIz).Methods: We performed a cross-sectional study of 328 parents of healthy preschoolers assessing parent concerns about picky eating (Child Eating Behavior Questionnaire) and child undereating ("Are you concerned ...doesn't eat enough?"), parent pressure to eat (Child Feeding Questionnaire), and covariates. Dyads' heights and weights were measured. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was performed to examine the relationships between parental concerns, pressure to eat, and child BMIz. Measurement models were tested and refined, and the structural model was tested. Model fit was determined using multiple goodness-of-fit indices.Results: Dyads were racially and socioeconomically diverse. The SEM model demonstrated good goodness-of-fit. Children who were perceived as not eating enough had significantly higher picky eating scores (8 0.756; p < 0.001). Parents had higher pressure to eat scores if children were more picky (8 0.148; p = 0.02) or were perceived as not eating enough (8 0.654; p < 0.001). Parental pressure to eat was not associated with the child's BMIz.Conclusions: In a cohort of diverse preschoolers, parent concerns about eating were associated with increased pressure to eat, but pressure to eat was not associated with BMIz. Identifying these relationships is important to develop effective interventions to improve feeding practices in young children.
