The present study was carried out with parents of 520 healthy children
between the ages of 2-12 and their parents who were referred to the diet
polyclinic of a hospital in Ankara. The data were collected through
personal interviews. The interviews included identifying the
characteristics of the child and his/her parents, anthropometric
measurements, questions investigating eating status, and the Children's
Eating Behavior Questionnaire. According to the body mass index-Z
scores, there were differences between subgroups of food responsiveness,
emotional overeating, enjoyment of food, food fussiness, and slowness in
eating. The gender-based desire to drink score was, on average, higher
in boys. No gender-based differences were found in other subgroups,
whereas the scores in the food fussiness and slowness in eating and
emotional undereating were higher in the preschool group when analyzed
by age. In conclusion, eating behaviors of overweight and obese children
differ from those of normal and underweight children.
