We investigated whether maternal sensitivity and intrusiveness in early childhood predict children's increased body mass index standard deviation scores (BMI\u2010SDS) at school age. BMI\u2010SDS are standardized for age and gender with respect to a reference standard.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>At baseline (<jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>1), we assessed maternal sensitivity and (non\u2010)intrusiveness of 116 mothers with their children (48.3% female) aged 5\u201347\u2009months (<jats:italic>M<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a024.00,<jats:italic>SD<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a011.36) using the emotional availability scales. We obtained anthropometric data for mothers at<jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>1 by measuring height and weight in the laboratory and for children at birth assessed by medical staff. Six years later (<jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>2) we obtained anthropometric data for children in the laboratory or based on parental report. Linear regression analyses were run with child BMI\u2010SDS at<jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic>2 as outcome and sensitivity and (non\u2010)intrusiveness as predictors, adjusting for confounders and exploring child age and gender as moderators.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Maternal sensitivity only negatively predicted children's BMI\u2010SDS in girls, while maternal intrusiveness predicted higher child BMI\u2010SDS at school age regardless of child gender. The effect of maternal non\u2010intrusiveness remained significant when controlling for confounders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Maternal intrusiveness in early childhood seems to represent a risk factor for increased BMI\u2010SDS in children, while lower maternal sensitivity tends to be a risk factor for increased BMI\u2010SDS in girls.
