Associations between parental feeding practices, problem food behaviours and dietary intake in New Zealand overweight children aged 4-8 years

摘要

Objective: Parents report that children's eating behaviours are a major barrier to providing them with a healthy diet. Links between problem eating behaviours and parental feeding practices are not well established and have not previously been examined in overweight children. The aim of the present study was to assess associations between problem food behaviours, dietary intake and parental feeding practices of overweight children aged 4-8 years.
