“…Christofaro's study, conducted on students from Londrina in Brazil (14-17 years), showed a lower consumption of vegetables in both sexes associated with a screen time of more than 4 h per day compared with those respecting the recommendation of no more than 2 h per day [109]. Additionally, a cross-sectional study carried out on 1567 preschoolers (3 to 6 years) in China also reported a lower FV consumption and a higher consumption of snacks and sugar-sweetened beverages in children with longer screen time [111]. Again, a study conducted on 355 children (8-13 years) and 324 adolescents (14-18 years) from the Czech Republic highlights that regular FV intake was associated with higher odds of meeting the combination of PA and screen time in children and adolescents, and screen time and sleep recommendations in children only [116].…”

While physical activity, sleep and sedentary behaviors are almost always considered independently, they should be considered as integrated human behaviors. The 24 h Movement approach proposes a concomitant consideration of these behaviors to promote overall health. Not only do these behaviors impact energy expenditure, but they have also been shown to separately impact energy intake, which should be further explored when considering the entire integration of these movement behaviors under the 24 h movement approach. After an evaluation of the prevalence of meeting the 24 h Movement and dietary recommendations, this review summarizes the available evidence (using English publications indexed in PubMed/MEDLINE) regarding the association between the 24 h Movement Guidelines and eating habits. Altogether, the results clearly show the beneficial impact of promoting the 24 h guidelines simultaneously, highlighting that the higher the number of respected movement recommendations, the better eating behaviors in both children and adults. Importantly, our results point out the importance of emphasizing the need to reach sedentary guidelines for better eating habits. Movement and dietary behaviors appear closely related, and giving recommendations on one might impact the other. Combining the 24 h Movement with dietary Guidelines might be more efficient than promoting them separately in public health strategies.

“…Interestingly, eating order was also indicated to be associated with the risk of childhood obesity ( 9 ), as consuming vegetables first at a meal may not only reduce meal energy intake, but also increase vegetable intake ( 10 ). A survey of preschool children in Changsha, Hunan Province found that daily consumption of vegetables was reported by 64.4% of children ( 11 ). However, few studies have investigated the relationship between the eating order of meats/fish and vegetables, and childhood obesity.…”

BackgroundEarly childhood is a critical period for dietary education and development of good eating habits. However, few studies have investigated the effect of eating order in children and childhood obesity in real-world settings.ObjectiveTo examine whether the order in which meats/fish or vegetables are consumed affects the risk of obesity in preschoolers.MethodsWe conducted a population-based cross-sectional study using a self-administered online survey on the lifestyle and health behaviors of preschoolers in Taizhou, China. A total of 3,200 parents were invited to take part in the survey, and 2,049 of them completed the questionnaire. Children were classified as having a normal weight, overweight, or obesity using the definitions provided by the International Obesity Task Force, and z-scores for body mass index were calculated. We divided the children's eating order at the beginning of the meal into two groups: “vegetables before meats/fish” or “meats/fish before vegetables”. We analyzed the relationship between what was consumed first at a meal and the overweight status of each child.ResultsNo difference in body mass index was observed between the children eating meats/fish-first and the children eating vegetables-first during a meal. Children with parents who were affected by obesity were more likely to eat vegetables first. Among children of mothers with obesity, body mass index was significantly higher in the meats/fish-first group than that in the vegetable-first group (2.891 vs. 0.845, P = 0.007). In children whose mothers were affected by obesity, those that ate meats/fish first had a 12.21 times higher risk of being overweight compared with those that ate vegetables first (95% CI:1.22–121.74, P = 0.033).ConclusionOur findings suggest eating vegetables or meats/fish at the start of a meal does not affect weight status in preschoolers.

“…In England, for example, only 17% of boys and 19% of girls consume the recommended five or more servings of F&Vs per day [13]. According to a study conducted in Hunan, China, 35.6% and 42.4% of children aged 4-5 years consume vegetables and fruits more than once per day, respectively [14]. A Lebanese study found that only 17.8% of children consumed the recommended daily intake of vegetables, and only 34.3% consumed fruits daily [15].…”

Parental feeding style (PFS) remarkably influences fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption in preschoolers. This study aimed to determine the association between PFS and preschoolers’ F&V consumption, as influenced by socioeconomic factors. A nationwide cross-sectional study was conducted among 1418 mothers of children aged 3–5 years in Saudi Arabia. Multinomial logistic regression model analysis was performed to assess the association between PFS and children’s daily F&V intake using the Parental Feeding Style Questionnaire. The influence of socioeconomic factors on this association was also evaluated. For mothers with university degrees, encouragement, emotional, and instrumental feeding enhanced their children’s intake of F&Vs, fruits, and vegetables, respectively. Children from families earning SAR >10,000 monthly had increased F&V intake with encouragement feeding and increased fruit intake with emotional feeding. However, F&V intake was reduced in children of working mothers with controlling feeding styles. Breastfeeding for <6 months was associated with increased F&V intake through emotional feeding. The most prevalent feeding style was encouragement, followed by emotional, with control and instrumental styles being less common. This study provides strong evidence on the association between PFS and daily F&V intake in Saudi preschoolers. Interventional and longitudinal studies on PFS are required to confirm these findings.
