dc.description.abstractBackground: Parents’ perception of children’s body image may assume an important role in children’s development. Aims: to assess parental perception on toddlers’ nutritional status. Methods: Study conducted with toddlers’ parents who attended nurseries in the district of Viseu, Portugal. Data collection instruments: a survey which included questions for social and demographic characterisation and the ‘Toddler Silhouette Scale’. Findings: Most parents have considered that the children’s silhouette, ideal (98.4%) and real (95.8%), corresponded to the one regarding normal weight. 21.1% of the children seen by the parents as having a normal weight, had in fact excess weight, 9% suffered from obesity and 0.5% were underweight. Conclusions: The results suggest the existence of an inaccurate parental perception about their children’s weight, reinforcing the importance of nurses who inform parents about their children’s nutritional status and guide them to adopt healthy lifestyles.pt_PT
