Abstract

Objective To explore the comprehensive effects of caregivers′ feeding behavior and children′s eating behavior on children′s body weight,in order to provide reference for the prevention of childhood obesity and the formulation of early intervention measures. Methods A cross-sectional survey on caregivers′ feeding behaviors and preschool children′s eating behaviors was carried out among 912 preschoolers′ caregivers from April to July 2016.The Chinese Preschooler′s Caregiver Feeding Behavior Scale (CPCFBS) and Chinese Preschooler′s Eating Behavior Questionnaire (CPEBQ) were used to assess caregivers′ feeding behaviors and children′s eating behaviors respectively.Multiple linear regression and Logistic regression analysis were performed to analyze the effects of caregiver feeding behavior and children′s eating behavior on children′s BMI and overweight/obesity after controlling demographic characteristics of the family. Results After controlling the demographic characteristics of the family,multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that weight concerns in the feeding behaviors and food response in the eating behavior were positively correlated with BMI(P＜0.05).While responsibility feeding in the feeding behavior of the caregivers and external eating in the children′s eating behavior were negatively correlated with BMI(P＜0.05).Logistic regression analysis showed that after controlling the demographic characteristics of the family,weight concerns,food responsiveness in the eating behavior and emotional eating were risk factors for overweight/obesity,while behavior restricted feeding and satiety responsiveness,were protectire factors for overweight/obesity(P<0.05). Conclusion Preschool children′s body weight is influenced by diet behavior and feeding behavior.Preschool children′s obesity can be prevented by cultivating healthy caregiver feeding behavior and children′s eating behavior.
