Analisou-se a estrutura fatorial e propriedades psicométricas da versão brasileira do Children Eating Attitudes Test (ChEAT) e examinaram-se atitudes e comportamentos alimentares problemáticos em crianças da cidade de São Luís, Maranhão. Trezentos e quarenta e sete participantes(160 meninos e 187 meninas) de 8 a 12 anos foram pesados, medidos e completaram o questionário ChEAT. Encontraram-se três fatores para o teste, com alta consistência interna para a escala total e suas subescalas. Encontraram-se diferenças significativas em atitudes e comportamentos alimentares segundo a idade e o Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC), bem como diferenças em cada fator do ChEAT segundo sexo, idade e IMC. Outros resultados foram que 21% dos participantes apresentam sobrepeso e 5,8% obesidade; e que 43,5% atitudes e comportamentos alimentares alterados. O ChEAT é um instrumento que pode ser utilizado na população infantil brasileira detectando que meninos e meninas que desejam um corpo belo, adotam, para isso, atitudes e comportamentos alimentares implicados na etiologia dos transtornos alimentares.

Objective: Disordered eating attitudes and behaviors play a critical role in pediatric overweight and obesity and are important to measure in research and practice with this population. Disordered eating attitudes and behaviors in youth are commonly measured using the Children's Eating Attitudes Test (ChEAT), which has not been psychometrically evaluated for use with youth with overweight and obesity. As such, it currently unknown whether the ChEAT provides a reliable measurement of a single underlying construct when applied in this population. Methods: Data from 400 treatment-seeking youth (aged 8 to 18) with overweight and obesity were drawn from two sites in the southern United States (54% female, 57% White). Psychometric properties of the ChEAT were evaluated in this combined sample using confirmatory bifactor modeling. Results: A confirmatory bifactor model with five group factors provided the best fit to the data and was used to generate numerous psychometric coefficients. The explained common variance (.36), omega hierarchical (.58), factor determinacy (.86), and construct replicability (.70) coefficients were all lower than recommended cutoff criteria. Both multidimensionality and excessive residual variance contributed to the ChEAT's poor psychometric performance in this sample. Conclusions: The ChEAT displayed marked psychometric problems in a large and diverse sample of youth with overweight and obesity. Its common variance was not unidimensional, its unit-weighted total score was not a reliable indicator of a broad central construct, and its optimally weighted total score was not likely to replicate across studies. We recommend using alternatives to the ChEAT when conducting research and practice with youth with overweight and obesity.
