Parental Perception of Child's Weight and Childhood Obesity
An observational study of Childhood Obesity and Diet Habit, run by Fundació Sant Joan de Déu at 1 site in Spain.
Trial summary
The increasing prevalence of metabolic diseases requires new strategies in the treatment and prevention of obesity. Children exposed to a poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle are especially vulnerable and may therefore be at risk of obesity at a very early stage in their lives. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Relationship Between Parental Perception of Child's Weight and Feeding Practices in the Context of Childhood Obesity: The PERCEPS Study
The increasing prevalence of metabolic diseases requires new strategies in the treatment and prevention of obesity. Children exposed to a poor diet and a sedentary lifestyle are especially vulnerable and may therefore be at risk of obesity at a very early stage in their lives. Recent studies have indicated a notable misperception of children's weight by parents. The main objective of this project is to study the association between parental perception of child's body weight and 1) feeding practices (permissive, restrictive or model); and 2) child's degree of overweight.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Infant feeding practices measured by the Child Feeding Practice questionnaire
We will assess three factors from the Child Feeding Practice (CFP) questionnaire measuring parental control practices and attitudes regarding child feeding: Restriction (8 items), Pressure to eat (4 items), and monitoring (3 items). Each item is scored from 1 to 5, and the mean value for each factor will be calculated.
Measured: Baseline

Participant BMI z-score
Weight and height of participants will be measured and combined to calculate the BMI z-score based on the WHO growth charts
Measured: Baseline
