FACTORES DEL VÍNCULO TEMPRANO MADRE-HIJO ASOCIADOS A LA OBESIDAD INFANTIL [EARLY MOTHER-CHILD BONDING FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH CHILDREN OBESITY]. Nutr Hosp. 2015 Nov 1;32(5):1994-9.http://hdl.handle.net/11447/801http://dx.doi.org/10.3305/nh.2015.32.5.9571The aim of this study is to describe the experience of a group of mothers with obese children, regarding how early bond affects the relationship that both have with food and this, in turn, impacts on childhood obesity. The present study has a qualitative, exploratory and descriptive design. The sample consists of five chilean women between 22 and 39 years old, with obese children between 2 and 4 years old. In-depth interviews were carried out and open coding strategy was used as method of analysis. Results show a tendency of mothers to establish insecure attachment relations, difficulties of tuning and expression of affection, and a predominance of a permissive parenting style around food. This has important implications for prevention and treatment of obesity, focusing on the attachment bond between mother and child.spaObesityEarly bondingAttachment stylesParental stylesArtículo
