Prevalence and predictors of parental concern for children's weight from 2002 to 2012

Public health initiatives to increase parental awareness about children's obesity have become more prominent in the past decade. These initiatives may contribute to increased concern in parents for their children's weight, even if their children are at a healthy weight. The aim of the present study was to document trends in parental (N  = 365; 67.9% female) concern for their children's weight from 2002 to 2012 using surveys on health and eating behaviors.
