“…Some studies also report that mothers with EDs have difficulty maintaining breast-feeding, potentially due to embarrassment or insufficient caloric intake to produce breast milk (6, 9, 12). Mothers with EDs also use more dietary restriction than mothers without EDs (1, 8, 15). However, other work has failed to show that mothers with EDs experience difficulty breast-feeding or restrict their child’s intake (22).…”

Objective A limited literature suggests an association between maternal eating disorders and child feeding difficulties, and notes maternal concern about inadvertently transmitting eating disorders. Thus, parents may be an important target for eating-disorder research to guide the development of clinical programs. Methods The current study examined differences in child eating-disorder behaviors and parental feeding practices between a sample of parents (42 fathers, 130 mothers) exhibiting core features of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, or purging disorder, and a matched sample of parents (n=172) reporting no eating-disorder characteristics. Results Parents with eating-disorder psychopathology were significantly more likely than parents without eating-disorder characteristics to report child binge-eating and compulsive exercise. Parents with eating-disorder psychopathology reported greater perceived feeding responsibility, greater concern about their child’s weight, and more monitoring of their child’s eating than parents without eating-disorder characteristics; however, they did not differ significantly in restriction of their child’s diet and pressure-to-eat. Child body mass index z-scores did not differ between parents with versus without eating-disorder characteristics. Conclusion Our findings suggest some important differences between parents with and without core eating-disorder psychopathology, which could augment clinical interventions for patients with eating disorders who are parents, or could guide pediatric eating-disorder prevention efforts. However, because our study was cross-sectional, findings could indicate increased awareness of or sensitivity to eating-disorder behaviors rather than a psychosocial cause of those behaviors. Longitudinal research and controlled trials examining prevention and intervention can clarify and address these clinical concerns.

“…Food intake and dietary restrictions are not alien to the learning generated from the family. Bulika et al (2010) have reported that food restrictions are potentially transferred from parents to children, especially when the mother has an eating disorder, which contributes to the development of eating disorders in children. This corroborates that the mother plays an important role in the construction of models for eating habits, which are transmitted through breeding patterns, and may represent both protective and risk factors regarding alimentation depending on her practices (García, Depetris & Rossini, 2013).…”

The non-randomized sample of convenience included 208 participants, 104 of them were adolescents aged between 11 and 18 years, studying in different high schools, and 104 family members considered to be significant by the teenagers. EAT-26, ECA, Family APGAR, FEICS, and BMI were applied, all validated for the Colombian population. As a result of the multivariate analysis, it was found that the high risk of developing behavioral disorders in young people is related to high risk in their relatives; the article concludes that parents, in addition to playing a protective role, may represent a risk factor for the eating behavior of their children, given that children model their behavior on their parents from early childhood.</span>

Abstract:Background: The relationship between body-mass-index (BMI) during pregnancy and the risk of disease has been widely explored. The following study examined the relationship between self-esteem, disordered eating and body image to BMI during pregnancy.Methods: 110 women from Israel and the UK completed the following questionnaires: Sociodemographic details (self-reported age, education levels); the Rosenberg Self-Esteem questionnaire; the Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (DEBQ); and scales to assess body image and body image disturbance. BMI was calculated from antenatal records and classified as healthy weight (BMI <25 kg/m 2 ) or overweight (≥35 kg/m 2 ) using standard BMI cut offs. Spearman correlation, MannWhitney tests and linear regression modelling were applied to determine the relationship between variables and differences between countries and BMI categories.Results: Self -esteem did not differ from non-pregnant population levels. Frequency of high restraint (>3.5 DEBQ) was lower for UK healthy weight women. For both countries a high correlation was found between body image and BMI, with significantly higher body dissatisfaction for Israeli than UK women. Conclusions:Io piAgonocyz UH noR IiinA,C wnmAo'i ,AvA,i no iA,o-esteem did not differ from reported ranges for non-pregnant women, whilst poor body image and more restrained eating in healthy-weight women was found only in Israel.
