“…Child picky eating behavior was assessed using the Oregon Research Institute Child Eating Behavior Inventory (ORI-CEBI), a validated tool that addresses problematic eating and feeding behaviors [31]. The ORI-CEBI is comprised of 3 subscales that assess picky eating behavior, namely limited variety , food refusals , and struggles for control .…”

Background/Aims: Picky eating is prevalent among preschoolers and is associated with risk of both underweight and overweight. Although differences in taste perception may be due to genetic variation, it is unclear whether these variations are related to picky eating behavior. The aim of this study was to investigate the association of 6 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 5 candidate genes related to chemosensory perception with picky eating behavior and adiposity in a cohort of preschool-aged children. Methods: Parents of 2- to 5-year-old non-Hispanic white preschoolers (n = 153) responded to survey questions on demographics, and information regarding their child's breastfeeding history and picky eating behavior. Height and weight were measured to calculate body mass index (BMI) z-scores using standard growth charts, and saliva was collected for genotyping. Generalized linear models were used to examine associations between picky eating behavior and BMI z-scores with genetic variation. Results: When controlling for child age, sex, breastfed status, and parent education level, SNPs in TAS2R38 (rs713598) and CA6 (rs2274327) were associated with picky eating behavior in children. There was no association between SNPs and BMI z-scores. Conclusion: Genes related to chemosensory perception may play a role in children's picky eating behavior.

WHAT'S KNOWN ON THIS SUBJECT:Behavioral insomnia and problematic feeding behaviors are 2 prevalent conditions in young children. Interaction between caregiver characteristics, child temperament, and parent-child interaction factors substantially contribute to both behavioral insomnia and problematic feeding behaviors.WHAT THIS STUDY ADDS: Problematic sleep and feeding behaviors tend to coexist in early childhood. Increased awareness of clinicians involved in the treatment of pediatric sleep or feeding disorders to this coexistence may allow early intervention and improve outcome. abstract OBJECTIVE: Behavioral insomnia and feeding difficulties are 2 prevalent conditions in healthy young children. Despite similarities in nature, etiology, prevalence, and age distribution, the association between these 2 common disorders in young children has not been examined thus far. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Children aged 6 to 36 months with either behavioral insomnia or feeding disorders were recruited. Children aged 6 to 36 months who attended the well-care clinics were recruited and served as controls. Sleep and feeding were evaluated by using a parental questionnaire. RESULTS: Six hundred eighty-one children were recruited. Fifty-eight had behavioral insomnia, 76 had feeding disorders, and 547 were controls. The mean age was 17.0 Ϯ 7.6 months. Parents of children with feeding disorders considered their child's sleep problematic significantly more frequently compared with controls (37% vs 16%, P ϭ .0001 [effect size (ES): 0.66]). They reported shorter nocturnal sleep duration and delayed sleep time compared with controls (536 Ϯ 87 vs 578 Ϯ 88 minutes, P ϭ .0001) and 9:13 Ϯ 0.55 PM vs 8:26 Ϯ 1.31 PM, P ϭ .003). Parents of children with behavioral insomnia described their child's feeding as "a problem" more frequently compared with controls (26% vs 9%, P ϭ .001 [ES: 0.69]). They reported being more concerned about their child's growth (2.85 Ϯ 1.1 vs 2.5 Ϯ 1.0, P ϭ .03) and reported higher scores of food refusal compared with controls (3.38 Ϯ 0.54 vs 3.23 Ϯ 0.44, P ϭ .04). CONCLUSIONS: Problematic sleep and feeding behaviors tend to coexist in early childhood. Increased awareness of clinicians to this coexistence may allow early intervention and improve outcome.

ÖZETAmaç: Ailede ciddi kaygılara yol açan iştahsızlık, sık karşılaşılan önemli bir sorundur. Bu olgu-kontrol çalışmasıyla; ailesi tarafından "iştahsız" olarak tanımlanan çocukların büyüme ve gelişmesini, beslenmeyi etkileyen faktörleri ve iştahsızlık için risk faktörlerini irdeledik. Yöntemler: Olgu grubunu (n=147) iştahsızlık ile başvuran kronik hastalığı olmayan 2-12 yaşları arasındaki çocuklar, kontrol grubunu (n=59) akut üst solunum yolu enfeksiyonu nedeniyle başvuran sağlıklı çocuklar oluşturdu. Bulgular: Hasta grubunun; boy ve kilo persentilleri anlamlı ölçüde daha düşük, hane halkı geliri daha az, sadece anne sütü ile beslenme süresi 6 aydan kısa (p<0,05) ve katı gıdaya başlama zamanı daha geçti. Annenin örgün eğitim almaması, kısa süreli anne sütü alımı, katı gıdaya geç başlanması iştahsızlık riskini arttırırken; büyük aile yapısı ve gelir düzeyi yüksekliği koruyucu faktörlerdi. Sonuç: Özellikle sosyoekonomik düzeyi düşük bölgelerde yapılan beslenme hataları-nın çocukların iştahsız olmasında önemli olduğunu ve bu konuda ailelere daha fazla destek olunması gerektiği sonucuna varıldı. Bu nedenle iştahsızlık nedeniyle başvuran çocuklar dikkatle değerlendirilmeli ve ailenin çocuğun beslenme ve büyümesi ile ilgili kaygıları gözardı edilmemelidir.Anahtar kelimeler: İştahsızlık, çocuk, aile ABSTRACT Objective: Poor appetite is an important and frequently encountered problem which leads to serious concerns in the family. In this case-control study, we examined the risk factors affecting nutrition, growth and development for the children who is described as 'having poor appetite' by the family. Methods: The patient group consisted of children between 2-12 years of age (n=147) who admitted with poor appetite without any chronic disease, and the control group (n=59) consisted of healthy children admitted with acute upper respiratory tract infection. Results: In the patient group; height, weight percentiles, and household income were significantly lower, duration of only breastfeeding was less than 6 months and starting time for intake of solid foods was delayed (p<0.05). Specific training received by the mother, short-term breastfeeding, delayed switch to solid food intake increase the risk poor appetite, however large family structure and high income level are protective factors. Conclusion:In particular, mistakes in child feeding in regions with lower socio-economic level are important factors in the development of anorexia in children and it was concluded that more support should be provided for the families with anorectic children. Therefore, children who suffer from anorexia needs a careful evaluation and the family's concerns should not be ignored.
