Methods The height and weight of 3 889 students from Grade 1 to Grade 2 were measured and the body mass index (BMI) was calculated.At the same time,questionnaire surveys were conducted in parents' cognition on the body shape of their children. Results The rates of thin,overweight and obesity were 17.79%,6.69% and 5.86% respectively; 75.03% of the parents were not satisfied with children's body image.The overall adjusted mean of body dissatisfaction score was -0.14,the phenomenon of underestimated children's body existed,especially in son (-0.25) and children in Grade 1 (-0.21). Conclusions Parents of children in Grade 1 to Grade 2 in urban Guangzhou have an obvious underestimation of their children's body,and it is possible to reduce childhood obesity by improving the accuracy of parents' cognition of their children's body.
