目的：本研究的目的是量化母亲对学龄前儿童体重状况的错误分类，并确定母亲错误分类的相关因素。设计：研究了2287名2-5岁儿童的代表性样本（GENESIS研究）。记录了母亲对孩子体重状况的看法，以及孩子和母亲的人体测量和其他特征（社会人口统计学和生活方式）。结果：近38%的母亲低估了孩子的体重状况。与“体重不足/体重正常”的儿童相比，“超重”和“超重”风险儿童的低估频率要高得多（分别为88.3%和54.5%）
Objective: The objective of the present work was to quantify mothers' misclassification of pre-school children's weight status and to determine factors associated with the maternal misperception.Design: A representative sample of 2287 children aged 2-5 years was examined (GENESIS study). Mothers' perceptions of their child's weight status and the children's and mothers' anthropometric and other characteristics (socio-demographic and lifestyle) were recorded.Results: Almost 38% of mothers underestimated their child's weight Status. The frequency of underestimation was much higher among at risk of being overweight' and 'overweight' children (88.3% and 54.5%, respectively) compared with 'underweight/normal-weight' children (18.0%, P
