摘要：
PURPOSE. This study was designed to determine mothers' perceptions and concerns about their preschool children's weight. DESIGN AND METHOD. This descriptive survey was carried out with mothers of 4- to 6-year-old children attending preschool. RESULTS. The prevalence of overweight among preschool children was 25.4%, but 73.3% of mothers of overweight children did not think that their children were overweight. Only 12.8% of mothers were concerned about their children being currently overweight; 8.1% worried that their children would become overweight. PRACTICE IMPLICATIONS. Understanding parental views about their children's weight is a key step for designing effective prevention strategies.
