Data were collected with standardized interviews, questionnaires, and by using certified body weight and fat scales. Findings: After controlling for parental body weight, the child’s adipose tissue, body mass index and diet relate to following parental practices, reported by both parents, e.g. pressure to consume more food, making healthy and unhealthy foods available, restricting unhealthy intake, encouraging healthy eating, rewarding, modeling, allowing for unhealthy food, talking about healthy eating.
