目标。确定与儿童早期肥胖相关的已知因素的父母排名，并比较健康体重儿童和超重儿童父母之间的报告。方法。2至5岁儿童的父母寻求良好的儿童护理，对卡片式陈述进行排名，包括实现健康体重的风险、障碍和激励因素。报告和比较排名因子的频率和平均值。结果。在150名参与者中，与其他已知风险相比，很少有家长（7.4%）认为低水平的体育活动是最大的风险因素。无法控制替代照顾者的食物选择是实现健康儿童体重的最大障碍（34%）。儿童体重组的排名没有差异。结论。学龄前儿童的低收入父母知道高危喂养行为，但很少有人认识到他们年幼的孩子缺乏运动的风险。在咨询过程中，促进充分的身体活动和吸引有影响力的护理人员的创新是必要的。
Objectives. To determine parental rankings of known factors related to early-childhood obesity and compare reports between parents of healthy weight and overweight children. Methods. Parents of 2- to 5-year-old children seeking well-child care ranked card-sort statements including risks, barriers, and motivating factors for achieving a healthy weight child. Frequencies and means of ranked factors are reported and compared. Results. Of the 150 participants, few parents (7.4%) considered low levels of physical activity a top risk factor compared with other known risks. Inability to control the food choices of alternate caregivers was the greatest perceived barrier to achieving a healthy child weight (34%). There were no differences in rankings by child weight groups. Conclusion. Low-income parents of preschoolers are aware of high-risk feeding behaviors, but few recognize the risk of inactivity in their young child. Innovations that promote adequate physical activity and engage influential caregivers during counseling are necessary.
