“…The score obtained by the control group for question 2 (“How concerned are you with your child’s feeding?”) was higher when compared to the control groups in other countries where the scale has already been validated. 12 , 13 , 21 According to previous studies, 25 , 26 it is known that the feeding practices of Brazilian mothers are loaded with symbolic values and heavily involved in cultural aspects. In this cultural relationship, when children do not eat or reject food, they are “disqualifying” their mother’s competence to ensure adequate nutrition.…”

“…In this cultural relationship, when children do not eat or reject food, they are “disqualifying” their mother’s competence to ensure adequate nutrition. 25 In addition, Brazilian mothers reported concerns on the amount of food their children ingested; therefore, such mothers seemed to value good feeding rather based on the amount of food that children were able to ingest than on the energetic density that food provided. 25 Brazilian mothers also believe that eating well equals eating a lot.…”

Objective: To cross-culturally adapt and validate the Montreal Children’s Hospital Feeding Scale (MCH-FS) into Brazilian Portuguese. Methods: The MCH-FS, originally validated in Canada, was validated in Brazil as Escala Brasileira de Alimentação Infantil (EBAI) and developed according to the following steps: translation, production of the Brazilian Portuguese version, testing of the original and the Brazilian Portuguese versions, back-translation, analysis by experts and by the developer of the original questionnaire, and application of the final version. The EBAI was applied to 242 parents/caregivers responsible for feeding children from 6 months to 6 years and 11 months of age between February and May 2018, with 174 subjects in the control group and 68 ones in the case group. The psychometric properties evaluated were validity and reliability. Results: In the case group, 79% of children were reported to have feeding difficulties, against 13% in the control group. The EBAI had good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha=0.79). Using the suggested cutoff point of 45, the raw score discriminated between cases and controls with a sensitivity of 79.4% and specificity of 86.8% (area under the ROC curve=0.87). Conclusions: The results obtained in the validation process of the EBAI demonstrate that the questionnaire has adequate psychometric properties and, thus, can be used to identify feeding difficulties in Brazilian children from 6 months to 6 years and 11 months of age.

“…As causas associadas a SAI incluem fatores genéticos, predisposições sensoriais e preferências inatas por certos sabores e texturas. Além disso, fatores ambientais, como a exposição limitada a diferentes alimentos durante a primeira infância e a influência do ambiente familiar, também desempenham um papel importante na formação dos padrões seletivos de alimentação (Ramos & Coelho, 2017).…”

Objetivo: O artigo teve como objetivo analisar as principais causas associadas a Seletividade Alimentar Infantil (SAI) e discutir as estratégias de conduta utilizadas para o controle do quadro. Materiais e Métodos: Para a elaboração dessa revisão integrativa, foram selecionados artigos científicos publicados em periódicos indexados em duas bases de dados: SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) e portal BVS (Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde). As buscas foram realizadas a partir dos termos feeding difficulties, food selectivity e picky eaters, adjunto as palavras children e childhood, no idioma inglês; e dificuldades alimentares, seletividade alimentar, exigências alimentares, adjunto as palavras crianças e infância, para o idioma português; tendo como operadores booleanos AND e OR. Resultados: Os resultados mostraram que as causas associadas a SAI incluem fatores genéticos, predisposições sensoriais e preferências inatas por determinados sabores e texturas. Fatores ambientais, como a exposição limitada aos alimentos na primeira infância e hábitos familiares, se mostraram relevantes. Essa condição pode ser controlada através da associação entre estratégias nutricionais e comportamentais, pautadas na introdução gradual de novos alimentos e o envolvimento da criança no processo de seleção e preparo das refeições. Conclusão: A SAI é um fenômeno multifacetado, influenciado por fatores biológicos, socioeconômicos e culturais. Sua abordagem deve ser multimodal e pautada na participação do profissional nutricionista, com o incentivo ao consumo de alimentos saudáveis e ainda, educação parental.

“…Nutritional knowledge alone does not guarantee healthy eating habits because the actual behavior is dependent on food beliefs, taboos, and so on [25,27]. Children's eating behavior is most susceptible to external interference because they are not the ones purchasing and preparing the food they consume [11,17,[26][27][28][29], in addition to attitudes, control practices, and beliefs of family members in relation to their food that directly influence the construction of eating habits even in childhood [9,15,25,30,31].…”

Objective To investigate whether caregivers’ attitudes, beliefs, practices, alimentary habits, and nutritional status influence the alimentary habits and nutritional status of children aged six to nine years. Methods This cross-sectional study included 164 children and a family member (caregiver) each (n=164), carried out in the family health units of the municipality of Ribeirão Preto (SP), Brazil. Weight and height measurements were performed; each child was then evaluated by the application of both the Child Feeding Questionnaire and 24h recall (for calculating the Healthy Eating Index Revised), in addition to the assessment of adherence to healthy eating steps of the Ministry of Health, through a questionnaire. Results The results showed that the prevalence of being overweight was 18.3% in children and 32.9% in caregivers, and the prevalence of obesity was 15.9% and 37.9%, respectively. Most of the 56 children categorized as overweight also had overweight caregivers (82.1%; n=46). Concerns regarding children’s weight control were higher among caregivers responsible for overweight children (3.6±1.29). In contrast, caregivers responsible for children below or at normal weight demonstrated a greater tendency toward getting children to eat (3.3±0.97 and 3.9±0.99, respectively). The average score; of the children’s Brazilian Healthy Eating Index Revised (50.0±13.6) was similar to that of their caregivers (56.5±12.1). Conclusions Caregivers have a direct influence on the nutritional status and eating habits of children; therefore, they should be targeted in the processes of nutritional intervention for the prevention and treatment of childhood obesity.
