BMI development of overweight children whose parents accurately perceived or underestimated their child’s weight status at the age of 5. ^aWeight status perception was assessed at the child’s age of 5; cut-off points for overweight and obesity were ≥85th percentile (BMIz = 1.04) and ≥95th percentile (BMIz = 1.65), respectively. *Significantly different patterns between the two groups in BMI change from age 5 to ages 6 and 7.
