ABSTRACT
Introduction: In the last twenty-five years, various questionnaires have been developed
to study eating disorders in pediatrics, useful for research purposes, but not very
applicable in the daily pediatric clinic, as they require a long time to complete them.
Objective: Determine the validity and reliability of the Montreal Children's Hospital
Feeding Scale (MCH-FS) to be able to use this scale in Mexican children from 6 months
to 6 years and 11 months.
Material and Methods: The sample was non-probabilistic consisting of 245 infants
with an age range of 6 months to 6 years of age, from Mexico City and the metropolitan
area. Two groups were formed: clinical and control that came from different institutions:
1) private health n=65 cases, 2) public assistance institution n=59 cases, 3) Cleft
lip and palate clinic n=43 cases, 4) autism Clinic n=12 cases and 5) Private School n=
66 cases. The primary family member answered each question in the questionnaire
according to the kind of eating behavior.
Results: An adequate internal consistency of the instrument was observed, and the
exploratory factorial analysis showed two factors: 1) Parental strategies and 2) eating
problems presenting a good adjustment of the data.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that MCH-FS is a useful tool to detect feeding
disorders in Mexican children
