AbstractObjectiveTo investigate which anthropometric measure of overweight status, BMI or waist-to-height ratio (WHtR), is most closely associated with parents’ perception of their child's overweight status.DesignThe sensitivity and specificity of parental perception against child-specific BMI and WHtR definitions of overweight were tested.SettingPrimary schools in Queensland, Australia.SubjectsBoys and girls aged 9·00–11·99 years (n 1431).ResultsOf the 138 boys and 202 girls who were classified as overweight according to BMI, only 27·5 % (boys) and 22·7 % (girls) were also perceived as overweight by their parents. Using WHtR, 206 boys and 333 girls were classified as overweight, of whom only 21·9 % and 13·8 %, respectively, were perceived as overweight. Perception of overweight was underestimated in approximately 15 % of boys and 21 % of girls when compared with BMI. Underestimation was higher when compared with WHtR: 25 % (boys) and 39 % (girls). Overweight prevalence was significantly lower according to perception than according to BMI or WHtR. Mother's education level was significantly associated with accurate perception of overweight status (P < 0·001).ConclusionsThe sensitivity of parental perception of child overweight was higher when BMI was used. However, emphasis needs to be placed on using WHtR as an actual measure of overweight because high central adiposity is associated with increased risk of CVD. The combined use of WHtR, body-shape images rather than word responses regarding perception and public health messages that educate parents and children about body shape and associated health risks may be the best combination in improving parents’ perception of their child's overweight status.

Child Eating

Background: Changing trends of dietary habits and lack of physical exercise force the world to face a modern era epidemic obesity which also affects our children counterpart. Childhood obesity is now a challenge of public health to combat with. Prevalence of childhood overnutrition (obesity and overweight) found to be rising in many developing countries including India in recent decades in many studies by different researchers, it is ranging from 2.9% to 14.3%, which makes our youth vulnerable to many life-threatening consequences.Methods: It was a school based cross sectional study done in primary schools of Barasat among 548 students of 3-11 years of age group. Parental perception towards child eating behaviour were assessed with the help of CEBQ questionnaire.Results: Among the total 548 students, as per BMI 38% were overweight and obese. Then hierarchical multiple logistic regression revealed that at Step one socio-demographic factors accounted for 16.9% of the variation in overnutrition status. Introducing the responses on selected life style factors in step two and CEBQ responses in final step explained an additional 9.9% and 5% of variation respectively. At all three-level model correctly predicted 62-70.3% of the dependent variables.Conclusions: The high proportion of over nourished children were found in our study, and this found to be related with parental perception about few lifestyle and child eating behaviour which calls for further research and interventional programme for this alarming topic in this age group.
