A clinical sample included 120 children and adolescents with obesity (aged 5\u201318 years) and their parents. Psychometric analyses included internal consistency, confirmatory factor analysis, convergent validity with the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL), sensitivity to body mass index (BMI)\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">z<\/jats:italic>\n                      -scores, measurement invariance across age and sex, and parent\u2013child agreement.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Both instruments demonstrated good internal consistency and a stable three-factor structure.

Convergent validity was supported by correlations with corresponding PedsQL subscales. Measurement invariance held across age groups and for the SMU across sex, but the STU across sex did not achieve configural invariance.
