Esta investigação teve por objectivo estudar a validade
do Questionário do Comportamento Alimentar da Criança
numa amostra portuguesa. Os participantes foram 249
sujeitos dos dois sexos, com idades entre 3 e 13 anos.
A estrutura factorial original do CEBQ foi reproduzida,
embora de modo imperfeito. O resultado da análise factorial
juntamente os resultados das análises da homogeneidade
e da consistência interna permitiram confirmar, nesta
amostra, o constructo que sustenta o questionário. Também
o conceito de obesidade infantil, subjacente ao questionário,
se revelou adequado. A distribuição dos resultados
das diversas escalas por categorias de IMC demonstra
que o CEBQ é sensível às diferenças de estilo alimentar
entre os sujeitos com baixo peso, eutróficos, com excesso
de peso, e obesos. Mesmo tendo em conta que a amostra
usada neste estudo não era representativa, conclui-se
que o instrumento é adequado ao estudo do comportamento
e estilo alimentar nas crianças portuguesas, pode
ainda ser utilizado na planificação de estratégias comportamentais
de intervenção na obesidade.
ABSTRACT: The aim of this research was to validate de Child Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (CEBQ) in a Portuguese sample. Participants were 249 subjects aged 3 to 13 years, from both gender. Factor analysis, Homogeneity analysis and Internal reliability, as the theory beyond proposed, confirmed a structure with eight factors that were: Enjoyment of food, Food responsiveness, Satiety responsiveness, Slowness in eating, Fussiness, Emotional overeating, Emotional undereating and Desire to drink. The distribution of the results of the eight sub scales by groups of subjects organized by BMI types, classified as under weight, normal weight, over weight and obese, shows that the questionnaire can successfully discriminate those groups. In spite of the lack of representativeness of the sample selected for this study, conclusions are that CEBQ seems to be adequate to the research of eating behaviour 119 AP261B.QXD 28-05-2008 11:35 Page 119 and eating style in the Portuguese young population, and can be used to design behavioural interventions in obese children.
