V, Author ; Mobley, Amy R., Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: p.97-100 Languages : English (eng) Original Language : English (eng) Keywords: Pediatric obesity, Fathers, Weight perception, Body mass index, Preschool Abstract: Purpose The objectives of this study were to compare the relationship of mother and father (1) perceived child weight and child body mass index (BMI) z-score, (2) concern for child's current weight and child BMI z-score, and (3) concern for child's future weight and child BMI z-score. Design and Methods This cross-sectional study included low-income mothers (n = 30) and fathers (n = 30) with a young child (3 to 10 years old) from the same household. Each parent completed select items from the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ) with a trained interviewer. Child BMI z-score was calculated. Results There was a significant, positive relationship between fathers' perceived child weight and child BMI z-score (p = 0.006) and between fathers' concern for a child's future weight and child BMI z-score (p = 0.001) but not among mothers. Conclusions Cohabitating low-income parents of young children may have conflicting appraisals of their child's BMI z-score and concerns for their child's future weight, and low-income fathers may be more accurate and concerned about their children's weight.
