This descriptive cross-sectional study distributed a questionnaire, including the BPFAS, to parents at their child's regular 10-, 18-, or 36-month visits at Swedish child health care centers. The analysis included 238 questionnaires. The primary finding was that 8.4% of children had a TFS indicating feeding problems, and 9.3% had a TPS indicating feeding problems. Children aged 36 months had a significantly higher average TPS score than younger children, but TFS scores did not differ by age. No significant differences were found in gender, parental education, or sociodemographic index. The findings suggest FP prevalence in Sweden is similar to other Western countries, highlighting the need for awareness and referral pathways in primary child health care.
