“…These risk factors may result from the prematurity, including adverse prenatal environments with maternal health complications (fetal programming), and/or challenges in developing healthy diets, including food sensitivities and intolerances (Barbieri et al, 2009; Behrman & Butler, 2007; Kaseva et al, 2013; Silveira et al, 2012), food neophobia (Migraine et al, 2013) and fussy eating (Samara, Johnson, Lamberts, Marlow, & Wolke, 2010), which parallels avoidance of risk taking (Hack et al, 2012; Roberts et al, 2013) and sensation seeking (Alley & Potter, 2011; Allin et al, 2006; Pliner & Melo, 1997). Intrauterine growth restriction with or without prematurity is linked to greater preference for sweets (Ayres et al, 2012; Barbieri et al, 2009; Silveira et al, 2012), salty taste (Stein, Cowart, & Beauchamp, 2006) and lower affinity/intakes of protein-rich foods and fruits (Kaseva et al, 2013; Migraine et al, 2013) in children and higher intakes of carbohydrates (Barbieri et al, 2009) and lower intakes of fruits, vegetables (Kaseva et al, 2013) and alcohol (Cooke, 2004; Roberts et al, 2013) in adults.…”
