Results: Overall, 89 children were included (mean age: 4.7 years; 59.5% female). The mean difference between parent-reported and researcher-measured data were small (BMI z-score: mean difference −0.01 [95% CI: −0.45 to 0.44]). There was “fair/weak” agreement between parent-categorised child BMI compared with researcher-measured data (Cohen's Kappa 0.24 [95% CI: 0.06 to 0.42]). Agreement was poor (Cohen's kappa <0.2) for female children, when reported by fathers or by parents with a BMI > 25 kg/m2. Conclusion: There was “fair/weak” agreement between parent-reported and measured estimates of child weight status. So What?: Parent's report of weight and height may be a weak indicator of adiposity at the level of individuals however it may be useful for aggregate estimates.]]> Mon 04 Dec 2023 15:58:46 AEDT ]]>
