TABLE 2.

Predicted Average Pressure to Eat and Food Restriction by Groups of Parent and Child Weight Status Concordance and Discordance

Factor Weight Status Concordance Weight Status Discordance
Parent and Child Nonoverweight (n = 680) Parent and Child Overweight/Obese (n = 898) Parent Overweight/Obese and Child Not Overweight (n = 1210) Parent Not Overweight and Child Overweight/Obese (n = 286)
Parent pressure-to-eat scale (1 = low, 4 = high) 2.35 (2.29–2.42)a 2.04 (1.99–2.10)b 2.26 (2.21–2.30)c 2.06 (1.97–2.14)b
Parent food restriction scale (1 = low, 4 = high) 2.36 (2.30–2.43)a 2.74 (2.67–2.80)b 2.42 (2.36–2.47)a 2.56 (2.46–2.67)c

Values are expressed as adjusted group means (95% CIs). For tests of comparison between group means, values across rows not sharing a superscript letter (ie, a, b, c) are statistically different at P < .05. Models were adjusted for child's race/ethnicity and gender and parent's highest level of education and gender. Sample includes adolescents and all parents reporting that the child lives with them at least half of the time.
