Abstract

Objectives: to evaluate the concordance of food consumption habits declared by parents and by their children, and relate it to excess weight prevalence. Methods: cross-sectional study. Concordance was analysed by Kappa and McNemar tests. The analysis of the discrepancies against excess weight was made by logistic regression. Results: we found high levels of discrepancy between parents and children: Kappa -0.02- 0.31 (≤0.01), McNemar ≤0.01. Excess weight did not vary in terms of the discrepancies, except for the affirmation of following a diet (O_Radjusted: 1.79; CI95%: 1.49-2.14). Conclusions: agreement between parents and their children demonstrated discordance, but did not influenced on excess weight.
