“…To evaluate maternal attitudes, practices, and beliefs about child feeding and obesity proneness, the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ) was used, developed by Birch et al [1]. The CFQ was translated to Portuguese, retro-translated, and it was reliably tested [15,16]. This questionnaire presents thirty-one items and evaluates the following seven subscales: 1 The first subscale (three items) evaluates how parents regard their responsibility towards their children's eating.…”

Objective To analyze the relationship between the maternal attitudes, beliefs and practices and the children’s food consumption and nutritional status. Methods A cross-sectional study of 563 mother-child pairs. Mothers answered an online questionnaire that collected the following information: sociodemographic data, maternal nutritional status, the child’s food consumption (evaluated through the Food Frequency Questionnaire and the School Child Diet Index), and maternal attitudes, beliefs and practices about the schoolchildren’s eating (assessed through the Child Feeding Questionnaire). Children had their anthropometric measurements evaluated for the interpretation of the nutritional status. Results Mothers who considered their children to be bigger (ORaj=6.60) and who worried more about their children’s weight (ORaj=3.47) presented greater chances of having overweight children. Mothers with a greater perception of responsibility (ORaj=0.57) and who put more pressure in their children to eat (ORaj=0.38) presented lower chances of having overweight children. The majority of children consumed high-quality food (77.4%). Mothers who more closely monitored their children’s food consumption were 2.79 times more likely to have their children eating high-quality food. Conclusion Nutritional interventions should focus on stimulating the parents’ sense of responsibility for the child’s nutrition, as well as on promoting the frequent monitoring of the child’s food intake.

“…Lorenzato et al [34] pointed out that children's nutritional status is correlated with that of their caregivers, reinforcing the importance of the family environment in the development of children's eating habits and, consequently, in their nutritional status. Other studies have shown that, in addition to genetic factors, many factors in the family environment can directly interfere with children's eating behavior, especially strategies adopted by those responsible for feeding them [2,5,25,27,30].…”

“…To assess the viewpoints, attitudes, and practices of parents in relation to children's feeding and the possible relationship between these factors and child obesity, a Brazilian version of the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ) was applied [34]. The CFQ consists of 31 questions, divided into 7 factors: 4 factors that measure the report of parents' beliefs regarding their child's obesity-prone diet (Perceived Responsibility, Perceived Parent Weight, Perceived Child Weight, and Concern About Child Weight) and 3 factors that measure parental control practices and attitudes about child feeding (Restriction, Pressure to Eat, and Monitoring) [34].…”

“…As proposed by the authors of the original as well as those of the Brazilian version, the 31 questions of the CFQ are rated on a 5-point range from 1 to 5. Each question was scored, and there ultimately emerged a mean score for each factor [34]. In this analysis, questions 11, 12, and 13 (concerning the child weight perception factor) were withdrawn because the ages of the children in this study did not make it possible to obtain answers to these questions for all children.…”

Objective To investigate whether caregivers’ attitudes, beliefs, practices, alimentary habits, and nutritional status influence the alimentary habits and nutritional status of children aged six to nine years. Methods This cross-sectional study included 164 children and a family member (caregiver) each (n=164), carried out in the family health units of the municipality of Ribeirão Preto (SP), Brazil. Weight and height measurements were performed; each child was then evaluated by the application of both the Child Feeding Questionnaire and 24h recall (for calculating the Healthy Eating Index Revised), in addition to the assessment of adherence to healthy eating steps of the Ministry of Health, through a questionnaire. Results The results showed that the prevalence of being overweight was 18.3% in children and 32.9% in caregivers, and the prevalence of obesity was 15.9% and 37.9%, respectively. Most of the 56 children categorized as overweight also had overweight caregivers (82.1%; n=46). Concerns regarding children’s weight control were higher among caregivers responsible for overweight children (3.6±1.29). In contrast, caregivers responsible for children below or at normal weight demonstrated a greater tendency toward getting children to eat (3.3±0.97 and 3.9±0.99, respectively). The average score; of the children’s Brazilian Healthy Eating Index Revised (50.0±13.6) was similar to that of their caregivers (56.5±12.1). Conclusions Caregivers have a direct influence on the nutritional status and eating habits of children; therefore, they should be targeted in the processes of nutritional intervention for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

“…Como proposto pelos autores do questionário original e os autores da versão adaptada para a população brasileira, a pontuação do QAC foi realizada de acordo com a numeração das respostas, que variava de um a cinco, de cada uma das 31 questões. Aplicada a pontuação de cada questão, foi feita a média da pontuação dentro de cada um dos sete fatores para definição dos escores, obtendo ao final, um valor de escore para cada fator (LORENZATO et al, 2017;BIRCH et al, 2001). Nesta análise as questões 11, 12 e 13 (referentes ao fator Percepção do Peso da Criança) também foram retiradas.…”
