“…Testing in different populations has at times largely confirmed the factor structure of the original CEBQ [ 69 ], but studies with diverse samples from a range of countries [ 70 – 77 ] have revealed poorer fits or variations from the original factor structure, suggesting that they may not reflect common underlying processes or that there are theoretical weaknesses in the conceptualisation of the constructs. Oyama et al [ 71 ] could not replicate the factor structure of the CEBQ or BEBQ in a Samoan sample, and speculated that the wording of the questions could at least partly explain cross-cultural differences, but also that the appetitive traits measured by the CEBQ may suffer from being theoretically indistinct. It is also possible that there are cultural or individual differences in word meanings or images generated by the questions, a potential difficulty associated with questionnaires [ 78 ].…”

Background There is a substantial body of research on children’s eating behaviours (e.g., food responsiveness and fussiness) and related constructs (e.g., eating in the absence of hunger, appetite self-regulation). This research provides a foundation for understanding children’s dietary intakes and healthy eating behaviours, as well as efforts at intervention, whether in relation to food avoidance, overeating and/or trajectories to excess weight gain. The success of these efforts and their associated outcomes is dependent on the theoretical foundation and conceptual clarity of the behaviours and constructs. This, in turn contributes to the coherence and precision of the definitions and measurement of these behaviours and constructs. Limited clarity in these areas ultimately creates uncertainty around the interpretation of findings from research studies and intervention programs. At present there does not appear to be an overarching theoretical framework of children’s eating behaviours and associated constructs, or for separate domains of children’s eating behaviours/constructs. The main purpose of the present review was to examine the possible theoretical foundations of some of the main current questionnaire and behavioural measures of children’s eating behaviours and related constructs. Methods We reviewed the literature on the most prominent measures of children’s eating behaviours for use with children aged ~ 0–12 years. We focused on the explanations and justifications for the original design of the measures and whether these included theoretical perspectives, as well as current theoretical interpretations (and difficulties) of the behaviours and constructs. Results We found that the most commonly used measures had their foundations in relatively applied or practical concerns rather than theoretical perspectives. Conclusions We concluded, consistent with Lumeng & Fisher (1), that although existing measures have served the field well, to advance the field as a science, and better contribute to knowledge development, increased attention should be directed to the conceptual and theoretical foundations of children’s eating behaviours and related constructs. Suggestions for future directions are outlined.

“…The Baby Eating Behavior Questionnaire (BEBQ; Llewellyn et al, 2011 ) is an 18-item parent-report questionnaire used to assess appetitive characteristics of young children. The BEBQ is derived from the validated, widely used CEBQ and has been psychometrically validated in healthy populations ( Hunot-Alexander et al, 2021 ; Oyama et al, 2021 ). The BEBQ comprises a single-item construct General Appetite (e.g., My baby had a big appetite) as well as four subscales.…”

“…The BEBQ consists of 18 questions ranked on a 5-point Likert scale: Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Often, or Always. The questionnaire has been used in previous research in Samoa by the OLaGA research team, validated for the population PLOS ONE [39], and has been previously translated into Samoan. See Table 2 for more information on questionnaire and survey contents.…”

Background Current research suggests that energy transfer through human milk influences infant nutritional development and initiates metabolic programming, influencing eating patterns into adulthood. To date, this research has predominantly been conducted among women in high income settings and/or among undernourished women. We will investigate the relationship between maternal body composition, metabolic hormones in human milk, and infant satiety to explore mechanisms of developmental satiety programming and implications for early infant growth and body composition in Samoans; a population at high risk and prevalence for overweight and obesity. Our aims are (1) to examine how maternal body composition influences metabolic hormone transfer from mother to infant through human milk, and (2) to examine the influences of maternal metabolic hormone transfer and infant feeding patterns on early infant growth and satiety. Methods We will examine temporal changes in hormone transfers to infants through human milk in a prospective longitudinal cohort of n = 80 Samoan mother-infant dyads. Data will be collected at three time points (1, 3, & 4 months postpartum). At each study visit we will collect human milk and fingerpick blood samples from breastfeeding mother-infant dyads to measure the hormones leptin, ghrelin, and adiponectin. Additionally, we will obtain body composition measurements from the dyad, observe breastfeeding behavior, conduct semi-structured interviews, and use questionnaires to document infant hunger and feeding cues and satiety responsiveness. Descriptive statistics, univariate and multivariate analyses will be conducted to address each aim. Discussion This research is designed to advance our understanding of variation in the developmental programming of satiety and implications for early infant growth and body composition. The use of a prospective longitudinal cohort alongside data collection that utilizes a mixed methods approach will allow us to capture a more accurate representation on both biological and cultural variables at play in a population at high risk of overweight and obesity.
