“…29 In fact, a relevant aspect in children's food intake is the provision of low-nutrient foods in the household, and lower income families tend to consume more processed and ultra-processed food products because their prices are more accessible and due to the higher availability to purchase them near their homes, in addition to being easy to prepare. 4 An important prevalence of excess weight and obesity was identified in this study. Currently, excess weight is a problem of great magnitude.…”

“…2 Eating patterns are changing rapidly worldwide, and the topic of eating behavior has gained relevance today, due to its implications on determining prevalent chronic diseases such as diabetes mellitus, obesity and systemic arterial hypertension, among others. [3][4] A rapid change in children's eating behavior has been notices, with worsening in the overall quality of the children's diet, characterized by reduced consumption of fruits, vegetables, and fibers and by increased consumption of ultraprocessed foods rich in sugar, saturated fat, and sodium. 5 The relationship between parenting practices and children's eating behavior has been studied, especially in the international literature.…”

Objective: to investigate the association between the parenting practices and the child's eating behavior. Method: a cross-sectional study, conducted with 368 children aged from one to five years old, registered in the Family Health Strategy units of the urban area of the municipality of Divinópolis-MG. An anthropometric assessment was performed to classify the children's nutritional status. Information was collected from January to September 2019 referring to demographic and socioeconomic data, as well as to lifestyle, health status, diabetes, parenting practices, and children's eating behavior. The child's eating behavior was assessed by means of a food frequency questionnaire, where the daily consumption of ultra-processed foods was estimated. Multiple linear regression was used to assess the association between parenting practices and the child's eating behavior, with a significance level of 5%. Results: greater consumption of ultra-processed foods was identified when the parents used physical force (p<0.018), reward for eating (p<0.002), and food restriction (p<0.011) practices. A negative association with the consumption of ultra-processed foods was evidenced when the parents provided guidance for healthy eating (p<0.006), authoritative monitoring (p<0.017), and positive reinforcement of the children's behavior that is considered adequate (p<0.046). Conclusion: the results of this study evidenced that the parenting practices were associated with the children's eating behavior. Therefore, research studies on the determinants of this behavior are recommended.

“…Aiming to include children whose main caregiver is an adult other than the mother, some studies defined caregivers as those most involved in the care of the child [45][46][47][48][49]. However, the results of this study illustrated that women are still the main caregivers of children.…”

Objective To investigate whether caregivers’ attitudes, beliefs, practices, alimentary habits, and nutritional status influence the alimentary habits and nutritional status of children aged six to nine years. Methods This cross-sectional study included 164 children and a family member (caregiver) each (n=164), carried out in the family health units of the municipality of Ribeirão Preto (SP), Brazil. Weight and height measurements were performed; each child was then evaluated by the application of both the Child Feeding Questionnaire and 24h recall (for calculating the Healthy Eating Index Revised), in addition to the assessment of adherence to healthy eating steps of the Ministry of Health, through a questionnaire. Results The results showed that the prevalence of being overweight was 18.3% in children and 32.9% in caregivers, and the prevalence of obesity was 15.9% and 37.9%, respectively. Most of the 56 children categorized as overweight also had overweight caregivers (82.1%; n=46). Concerns regarding children’s weight control were higher among caregivers responsible for overweight children (3.6±1.29). In contrast, caregivers responsible for children below or at normal weight demonstrated a greater tendency toward getting children to eat (3.3±0.97 and 3.9±0.99, respectively). The average score; of the children’s Brazilian Healthy Eating Index Revised (50.0±13.6) was similar to that of their caregivers (56.5±12.1). Conclusions Caregivers have a direct influence on the nutritional status and eating habits of children; therefore, they should be targeted in the processes of nutritional intervention for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.

“…It is important that children have their oral cavity sanitized from the beginning of breastfeeding until the introduction of food, to avoid affections of the oral mucosa such as decay and fungi. A diet rich in sugars and ultra-processed foods is also detrimental to oral hygiene 32 .…”

Objective to construct and validate a questionnaire to assess parents’ knowledge about infant complementary feeding. Method this is a methodological study developed from March 2017 to May 2020 with a sample of experts (6) and parents/guardians of infants (374). It was based on the psychometric framework in which construction, content validity (content validity index), construct validity (factor analysis) and internal and structural consistency analysis (Cronbach’s alpha) and reproducibility (intraclass correlation index) were carried out. Results the questionnaire obtained three versions until reaching its final version with 23 items distributed in two axes: introduction of complementary feeding; preparation and way of eating, reaching an overall CVI of 0.83 in the judges’ analysis. Exploratory factor analysis proved to be adequate (Kaiser-Meyer-Olkim of 0.70 and Bartlett’s test of sphericity with p<0.001). The final Cronbach’s alpha of the 23-item scale was 0.79, demonstrating adequate internal consistency. The intraclass correlation index was 0.615, demonstrating good instrument reproducibility. Conclusion the questionnaire showed evidence of validity to assess parents’ knowledge about infant complementary feeding.
