Objective To explore the associations between eating behavior and overweight/obesity,so as to provide some references for early intervention of overweight/obesity among preschoolers. Methods Eating behaviors of 387 children aged 3~6 years old were assessed by using Preschooler's Eating Behavior Scale (PEBS).Children's height and weight were measured,and BMI was calculated,and all the subjects were classified into normal weight,overweight and obesity groups according to the percentile reference of BMI for children and adolescent.One-way ANOVA was performed to investigate the differences in mean score of eating behavior between weight groups.Hierarchical Regression Analysis was used to examine the associations between eating behaviors and BMI-Z. Results Significant differences in the mean score of unhealthy eating habit,external eating,food fussiness,emotional eating,satiety responsiveness,food responsiveness were found between different weight groups (P<0.01).No significant differences were found in the dimensions of enjoyment of food or initiative eating between different weight groups.After controlling for gender,age and mother's educational levels,BMI z-scores were positively associated with the food tendency dimensions of the PEBS (β:0.09~0.21) and negatively associated with food escape dimensions (β:-0.47~-0.36). Conclusions Preschooler's eating behavior might be associated with overweight/obesity,and the risk of becoming overweight or obesity could be decreased through modified children's eating behaviors.
