Reliability and validity study of parental feeding style questionnaire

Abstract

Conclusions: Evidence for associations between parental feeding style and subsequent weight trajectory of children needs to be established through longitudinal follow-up studies. Given the dramatic increase in obesity that has been observed in recent years, and particularly the increase in childhood obesity, investment in research in the development of obesity in childhood should be given a high priority.
