The explanatory role of maternal feeding practices: do they explain ethnic differences in body weight of preadolescents?

CONCLUSION: Ethnic differences in childhood BMI seemed to be partially attributable to the maternal perception of her child's weight status. Besides, maternal perception of child's weight appeared to play an important role in the association between maternal child feeding practices and childhood SDS-BMI. Hence, our findings contribute to the growing evidence concerning the bi-directional association between child feeding practices and childhood BMI. PMID: 31295505 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
