“…In contrast, poor engagement may have a comparable negative impact on health, nutrition, and general mealtime success, but may be harder for parents to explain and/or demonstrate in a clinical setting, and thus they may be more anxiety provoking for parents. This supports the high levels of parental stress, anxiety, and deficits to parental self-efficacy observed in parents of children with problematic or disordered feeding (e.g., Feldman, 2004;Greer et al, 2008;Lindberg, Bohlin & Hagekull, 1994;Sanchez & Castillo-Duran, 2004). Such a situation may also lead parents to over-report the overt and more easily described behaviours in the clinical interview, reinforcing the over-reliance on these types of behaviours in clinical identification.…”

“…This suggests that reduced food intake is a key characteristic of disordered feeding behaviour in childhood, and indeed an ARFID diagnosis will be unequivocal in children requiring supplementary or total tube-feeding in the absence of physical cause. However, a great many additional psychological, social, and emotional factors have also been associated with disordered child feeding (Berlin et al, 2009;Black, 1999;Bryant-Waugh et al, 2010;Chatoor et al, 1998;Piazza, 2008;Sanchez & Castillo-Duran, 2004;Stein et al, 1999). This suggests that neglecting other factors in favour of physical attributes omits a population of children with disordered feeding from assessment and treatment, simply because they are managing, at that time, to maintain weight/growth, often via alternative, undesirable methods such as excessive milk intake or high calorie-low nutrient diets (Bryant-Waugh et al, 2010).…”

Despite widespread use of behavioral observations to evaluate child feeding behaviors in research and clinical practice, few studies have comprehensively characterized mealtimes or identified features that differentiate children with and without disordered feeding; these were the aims of the current study. Mealtime observations were conducted for 18 children with avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and 21 typically developing children. Observations were coded inductively, and associations between disorder and observed mealtime actions were examined. Most behaviors were observed across both clinical and nonclinical mealtimes, and many did not differ in frequency between children with and without ARFID. However, significant group differences were observed in the frequencies of behaviors relating to food intake, visual and physical engagement with feeding, and movement during mealtimes. The comparability of behaviors across clinical and nonclinical groups suggests that eating behaviors exist on a continuum from "normal" to "abnormal," with group differences relating to frequency rather than type of behavior. The behavioral differences observed in this study suggest that identification of children with ARFID should focus on child engagement with food and restlessness during mealtimes. Reliance on emotional and escape-maintained behaviors will lead to underrecognition of families in need of clinical support.

“…Results suggest that sitting at the table, about the same time every day and eating the same food together with the rest of the family shaped a favorable environment that was associated with appropriate feeding behaviors in the present study. Existing literature verifies that children who lack a structured and consistent meal routine are more likely to exhibit feeding problems [ 9 , 57 , 68 , 69 ]. In addition, as children learn to eat through observation and role-modeling by family members, this finding highlights the importance of systematically exposing the child to positive eating patterns and integrating into the feeding environment of the rest of the family [ 70 ].…”

Feeding problems are associated with the consumption of a limited amount or restricted variety of foods and often occur in children with gastrointestinal diseases. The majority of studies to date do not use valid and reliable measurements to detect feeding problems. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to assess behavioral and skill-based feeding problems in young children with gastrointestinal diseases by using a well-established parent-reported feeding measure and identify demographic, anthropometric, and environmental factors associated with maladaptive feeding behaviors in this pediatric population. Parents completed the Greek version of the Behavioral Pediatrics Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS) and self-reported questionnaires assessing mealtime environment and parental feeding practices. It was found that 18.6% of the sample had abnormal Total Frequency Score (TFS) (frequency of problematic feeding behaviors) and 39.5% had abnormal Total Problem Score (TPS) (number of behaviors perceived as problematic by parents). Younger children, with lower body mass index, lower birth weight, and only children were more likely to have feeding problems. The study showed that parent-reported feeding problems are increased in young children with gastrointestinal diseases and are associated with specific aspects of mealtime environment and parental feeding practices.

“…In the current study, prenatal nutritional background and early nutritional measurements, were not found to be significantly associated with 2009 SIMCE outcomes and this does not agree with the results of other investigators [34]; the exception to these results was the negative correlation found for breastfeeding and MSA in 2010 5ESG school-age children. This could be explained because breastfeeding duration tends to be longer in families of the low SES in whom SA is significantly lower than in families of the high SES [82]. Although some authors report significant associations between breastfeeding, cognition and brain size, others emphasize that this association can be explained largely by socio-demographic factors, parental lifestyles and maternal intelligence [40,82–85].…”

A multifactorial approach of nutritional, intellectual, brain development, cardiovascular risk, socio-economic, demographic and educational variables affecting the scholastic achievement in Chilean students: An eight- year follow-up study

The aim of this study was to quantitate the relative impact of nutritional, intellectual, brain development, cardiovascular risk, socio-economic, demographic and educational variables on the results of the 2009 Quality Education Measurement System (SIMCE) tests of language and mathematics for scholastic achievement (SA) applying a multifactorial approach, in school-age children of the 2010 5 th elementary school grade (5ESG) and of the 1 st grade of high school (1HSG). The purposes were: i) to test the hypothesis that intellectual ability, the level of SA of the educational establishments in the 2009 SIMCE tests, sex, parental schooling levels, and head circumference-for-age Z-score are the most relevant parameters associated with 2009 SIMCE outcomes; ii) to determine the predictive ability of the 2009 SIMCE results in determining the 2013 SIMCE outcomes for the 2010 5ESG cohort (when they graduated from elementary school, 8 th grade) and for determining the 2013 University Selection Test (PSU) outcomes for the 2010 1HSG group (for university admission, when they graduated from high school, 4 th grade); iii) to determine the association between the 2009 SIMCE results with the 2017 PSU outcomes for the 2010 5ESG group (for university admission, when they graduated from high school, 4 th grade). A representative, proportional and stratified sample of 33 schools of the Metropolitan Region of Chile was randomly chosen. In these schools, 1,353 school-age children of both sexes, of the 2010 5ESG (n = 682; mean age = 10.8 years, SD = 0.6) and of the 2010 1HSG (n = 671; mean age = 14.8 years, SD = 0.6) participated. In both grades and tests, the findings confirm the hypotheses formulated. 2009 SIMCE outcomes were positively and significantly associated with 2013 SIMCE and with 2017 PSU and, with 2013 PSU outcomes in school-age children from 2010 5ESG and 1HSG, respectively. These findings may be useful for educational and health planning in Chile and countries in a comparable stage of development.
