“…Home food availability and accessibility are among the determinants that are most consistently associated with dietary intake in children and adolescents [ 82 , 83 , 84 ]. In the present study, the adjusted model showed that the availability of fruits, vegetables and SSBs in the home were associated with higher children’s fruit and confectionary/SSB intakes.…”

“…Overall, healthy and/or unhealthy food availability and accessibility alone or in combination have been associated with children’s intake of such foods. This is, therefore, an important issue that must be taken into consideration in the development of interventions that could provide home environments favorable to healthy eating [ 1 , 84 , 87 ].…”

Within the home environment, parents influence their children’s dietary intakes through their parenting and dietary practices, and the foods they make available/accessible. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the associations between home environmental characteristics and children’s dietary intakes. Three hundred and thirty-two children aged three–five years and their parents participated in the study. Home environmental characteristics, including parental control feeding practices, were explored using validated and standardized questionnaires such as the Child Feeding Questionnaire (CFQ), the Physical and Nutritional Home Environment Inventory (PNHEI) and the Healthy Home Survey (HHS). Parent and child food consumption was also measured. Pressure to eat from parents was associated with lower fruit intake in children (OR 0.67, 95% CI 0.47–0.96, p = 0.032). Greater variety of fruit available in the home increased the likelihood of fruit consumption in children (OR 1.35 95% CI 1.09–1.68, p = 0.005). Watching television for ≥1 h per day was associated with a decreased probability of children eating vegetables daily (OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.20–0.72, p = 0.003) and doubled their likelihood of consuming confectionary/sugar-sweetened beverages more than once weekly (OR 2.15, 95% CI 1.06–4.38, p = 0.034). Children whose parents had lower vegetable consumption were 59% less likely to eat vegetables daily. This study demonstrates that modifiable home environmental characteristics are significantly associated with children’s dietary intakes.

“…Seven studies [ 17 , 22 , 23 , 27 , 30 , 38 , 39 ] focused on both NS and FC and were included in both tables. Thirty-four were cross-sectional studies [ 11 , 17 , 18 , 21 , 22 , 25 , 27 , 29 , 31 – 35 , 37 – 41 , 43 – 46 , 48 , 50 , 51 , 53 , 55 – 62 ], 12 were longitudinal [ 19 , 20 , 24 , 26 , 28 , 29 , 31 , 42 , 47 , 49 , 63 , 64 ], and 4 studies analyzed both cross-sectional and longitudinal data [ 12 , 36 , 52 , 54 ].…”

“…Male and female adolescents who ate regular family meals (at least 5 per week) had higher intakes of vegetables, calcium-rich foods, fiber, and several vitamins and minerals [42]. Conlon et al (2019) assessed the influence of family environment on obesity-related health behaviors in adolescents and showed that participants with higher FFM were more likely to eat fruits, but they did not differ from their peers in the consumption of vegetables or sugar-sweetened beverages. Additionally, adolescents whose parents reported a higher frequency of television watching during family meals were likely to eat less fruit [43].…”

Family meal frequency and its association with food consumption and nutritional status in adolescents: A systematic review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This systematic review evaluated the association between frequency of family meals (FFM) and nutritional status (NS) and/or food consumption (FC) in adolescents. The protocol was registered with PROSPERO (CRD42017062180) and followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines. No publication date, language, or meal type restrictions were imposed. Only full-text original articles were included; qualitative studies were excluded. Studies were identified by searching 5 electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, BVS Brazil, and Adolec) and gray literature (Google Scholar) and by scanning reference lists of included articles. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale for cohort and cross-sectional studies. Initial search yielded 2001 results and 47 articles were included. An updated literature search added 3 articles. Of the 50 studies included, 25 studied the association between FFM and NS, 32 investigated the association between FFM and FC, being that seven studies analyzed both outcomes. Thirty-four were cross-sectional studies, 12 were longitudinal studies, and 4 studies analyzed both cross-sectional and longitudinal data. Thirty-five studies were rated as having good quality, whereas 19 were of fair quality. Sample size ranged from 140 to 102 072 participants. Most investigations evaluated the frequency of breakfast, lunch, and/or dinner/supper/evening meals over a 1-week period. Seventeen studies identified a positive relationship between high FFM and better NS, and 26 found a positive association between high FFM and better FC. In conclusion, this review showed an association between FFM and healthy dietary patterns, such as increased consumption of fruits and vegetables. Further research is needed to understand the association between FFM and NS, since some studies showed a protective role of family meals against obesity in this age group, whereas other studies identified no significant association between these variables.
