Abstract

Objective. Childhood overweight/obesity is a serious global public health issue, demanding parental involvement to reverse trends. Despite fathers’ crucial parenting roles, research on fathers and childhood overweight/obesity is limited. This scoping review examines the literature on fathers’ nutrition knowledge and feeding practices with childhood overweight/obesity. Methods. Following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, and Arksey and O’Malley (2005) framework, multiple databases were searched. Eligible father-child related studies focused on fathers’ nutrition knowledge, feeding practices, and childhood overweight/obesity. Results. Of 26 eligible articles, 52% originated from the United States, and 44% focused on father-child dyads. Most studies were cross-sectional (64%) and survey-based (68%). Further, 11.5% assessed fathers’ nutrition knowledge, and child feeding practices (53.4%). Conclusion. Literature on fathers’ nutrition knowledge and feeding practices concerning childhood overweight/obesity is limited. Scaling-up fathers’ inclusion in childhood nutrition research is encouraged for the design of holistic interventions.
