Maternal Perception and Feeding Practices: Effect on Preschooler`s Weight
für 53.10€ kaufen ··· 9783844303766 ··· 10361113294 ··· Present research was done to assess the effect of maternal perception & child feeding practices on weight status of preschoolers.102 mothers were questioned about family background, nutrition awareness, perception of their child`s weight, feeding practices on weight status of children & factors affecting these were assessed through statistical analysis. In comparison with WHO growth standards, 30% children were obese, but 69% mothers wrongly perceived their child`s weight. Mothers of overweight sons had more wrong perception than those with overweight daughters. Perception that children were underweight was associated with maternal BMI. Child`s weight was found unrelated to feeding practices followed by mothers. But, there were associations between different subscales of feeding practices & family characteristics. Despite mounting public health concern about childhood obesity in India, most of surveyed mothers were not concerned about their children`s weight, and many did not perceive their overweight children any different from their peers. This may have implications for interventions that rely on acknowledging child`s overweight as a first step to change.
