    Çocukluk Çağında Obezitenin Öncülleri Hakkında Bir Derleme
    (Türk Psikologlar Derneği, 2021) Yasin, Hatice Şule; Müren, Hatice Melis
    Overweight/obesity in childhood has become a worldwide health problem. World Health Organization (2018) reported that the prevalence of obesity in children worldwide tripled between 1975 and 2016 with more than 41 million children before age 5 were overweight/obese in 2016. Given that obesity has been associated with a wide range of physiological and psychological problems and its excessive increase in recent years, it is highly important to identify the precursors of obesity and develop intervention programs targeting them. The present review compiles national and international research regarding child feeding behaviors, parenting styles, maternal perceptions and child temperament as important precursors of obesity in early childhood and aims to facilitate further research and obesity intervention programs in Turkey by giving a thorough summary of literature about the subject. Results in the literature suggested that parental restrictive feeding, authoritarian parenting style, inaccurate maternal perceptions of child weight and high negative affectivity as a temperamental trait in children may all be potential risk factors for childhood obesity. The need for intervention programs targeting parenting behaviors and parental awareness of overweight is emphasized. Further longitudinal studies are required to uncover the precursors of obesity and develop appropriate intervention programs.
