Similarly, the literature shows that children's eating behaviours are also associated with child weight. Given this interrelationship between children's eating behaviours, restrictive feeding practices and child weight, examination of possible mediator relationships is warranted. This study aimed to examine the relationships between overt restriction and covert restriction with child body mass index z©\scores (BMIz) and determine if children's eating behaviours (satiety responsiveness and food responsiveness) act as mediators %K Childhood obesity %K feeding practices %K eating behaviors %K mediation %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6469333/
