Relationships among Child Eating Behaviors and Household Food Insecurity in Youth with Obesity.

Conclusions: Youth from FI households have higher BMIs even among a population with obesity. DD is positively associated with household food insecurity and may contribute to obesity in this population. Results suggest that providers treating pediatric patients with obesity should consider regularly screening for household food insecurity and associated eating behaviors as part of their medical management of obesity.
