Maternal attachment style, sensitivity, and infant obesity risk in low-income, Latino families

Disparities in childhood obesity highlight the need for research to identify its early predictors in high-risk populations, such as low-income, Latino families. In the current study, the first of its kind in a low-income Latino sample (N = 55; Mchild age = 12.74 months, SD = 3.96), we investigated whether mothers' self-reported attachment style predicted their infants' weight-for-length (WFL; an early indicator of childhood obesity).
