| description | The aim of this study is to present the adaptation and validation of the Children's Eating Attitudes Test (ChEAT) in a sample of 243 school children from the City of Buenos Aires (CABA) aged between 9 and 13. Analysis of the factorial structure was conducted, and psychometric characteristics of the scale were examined. Results: three factors explained almost 40% of the variance. Cronbach’s α was .814 for the total scale, but declines to analyze the factors separately. ChEAT total score was related to body image satisfaction and weight category according to body mass index. Sensitivity was 73.91% and specificity 72.45% for a cut-off of 11. Finally we can conclude that the ChEAT has adequate psychometric characteristics and that is a promising instrument for measuring disturbed eating behaviors in children of CABA. |

El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar la adaptación y validación del Children’s Eating Attitudes Test (ChEAT) en una muestra de 243 niños escolarizados de la Ciudad de Buenos Aires (CABA), de entre 9 y 13 años. Se efectuó el análisis de la estructura factorial, y se analizaron las propiedades psicométricas de la escala. Resultados: tres factores explican cerca del 40% de la varianza. El α de Cronbach fue de .814 para la escala total, pero disminuyó al analizar los factores por separado. La puntuación total del ChEAT se asoció con la satisfacción con la imagen corporal y la categoría de peso según índice de masa corporal. La sensibilidad fue de 73.91% y la especificidad de 72.45% para el punto de corte de 11. Finalmente, se puede concluir que el ChEAT posee buenas propiedades psicométricas y que es un instrumento promisorio para la evaluación de alteraciones en la conducta alimentaria en niños de CABA.
