Characterization of feeding behaviour in children developping obesity before the age of 6 years

Rationale: Obesity before 6 y of age is associated with unusual hyperphagia. Impulsivity may be observed. No study has assessed the feeding behavior (FB) of children with early onset obesity of different origin (hypothalamic or common obesity). We explored FB using self-questionnaires to identify specificities according to the etiology.
