AB  - The Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ) assesses parental feeding attitudes, 
      beliefs and practices concerned with child feeding and obesity proneness. The 
      questionnaire has been developed in the U.S., and validation studies in other 
      countries are limited. The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric 
      properties of the CFQ in Sweden and the associations between parenting practices 
      and children's weight status. Based on records from the Swedish population 
      register, all mothers of 4-year-olds (n = 3007) from the third largest city in 
      Sweden, Malmo, were contacted by mail. Those who returned the CFQ together with a 
      background questionnaire (n = 876) received the CFQ again to enable test-retest 
      evaluation; 564 mothers completed the CFQ twice. We used confirmatory factor 
      analysis to test whether the original 7-factor model was supported. Good fit 
      (CFI = 0.94, TLI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.04, SRMR = 0.05) was obtained after minor 
      modifications such as dropping 2 items on restriction and adding 3 error 
      covariances. The internal reliability and the 2-week test-retest reliability were 
      good. The scores on restriction were the lowest ever reported. When the influence 
      of parenting practices on child BMI (dependent variable) was examined in a 
      structural equation model (SEM), child BMI had a positive association with 
      restriction and a negative association with pressure to eat. Restriction was 
      positively influenced by concern about child weight. The second SEM treated 
      parenting practices as dependent variables. Parental foreign origin and child BMI 
      had direct effects on restriction, while pressure to eat was also influenced by 
      parental education. While the results of the study support the usefulness of the 
      CFQ in Sweden, carefully designed cross-cultural comparisons are needed to 
      explain why the levels of restrictive feeding in Swedish families are the lowest 
      reported.
