“…A higher score on the CFQ implies a greater concern or more use of specific feeding practices. Previous studies have confirmed the internal consistency (a = 0.62-0.86) and construct validity of the CFQ (Birch et al 2001;Mosli et al 2016). The internal consistency of the CFQ in this study was 0.75-0.86.…”

Background Childhood obesity is a complex and multifaceted problem involving interactions among child, family and community environment. Aim The purpose of this study was to examine the contributing factors to early childhood obesity within a multilevel context, including child and family, childcare setting and community. Methods A cross‐sectional, quantitative research design was employed. A total of 129 preschoolers and their parents in northwest Florida participated in this study. Child height and weight were measured, and body mass index (BMI) was calculated. Parents and directors of preschools completed survey questionnaires to assess child/family, childcare setting and community factors, respectively. Hierarchical multiple regression was used to evaluate the association of each level of factors with child BMI z‐score. Results Twenty‐one per cent of children were overweight or obese (≥85th BMI percentile). In hierarchical multiple regression, household income, parent beliefs, attitudes and practices for child feeding, family obesogenic environment, child routines (screen time on weekends, sleep hours, bedtime) and physical activity environment were significantly related to child BMI z‐score. Conclusions The findings of this study provide a broader understanding of factors that influence child BMI z‐score. Shaping a non‐obesogenic environment by establishing healthy routines for children in the home, childcare setting and community is essential in childhood obesity prevention. Implications for nursing practice and health policy Paediatric nurses should routinely assess accurate parental perception of child weight, feeding style and child routines in well‐child care visits. Healthcare professionals and health policymakers should enact policies that build a healthy environment for preschoolers in their childcare setting and community.

“…This effect was stronger than in the case when the parent only verbally encouraged the child to try the food [53]. Similar conclusions were also drawn in other studies [54][55][56][57]. Van der Horst's analysis showed, however, that the involvement of children in the meal preparation process can reduce the intensity of neophobic behaviors and contribute to building positive experiences with food [58].…”

Eating habits are formed from the early childhood through experience gained from the contact with foods and as a result of observation of the environment. One of the feeding disorders, specific for the childhood, is food neophobia, defined as an attitude towards food, which manifests as a persistent reluctance to eat new foods, avoiding tasting unknown products and unwillingness to accept newly introduced flavours or unknown consistency of food. It should be differentiated from pickiness, which are a typical stage of children's development. Food neophobia is a significant problem from both psychological and dietary perspective. The mechanism conditioning the onset of food neophobia has not been fully understood. It can be determined by the combination of biological, psychological and environmental factors, which include: various genetic conditions, individual personality predispositions, the level of child's familiarity with the taste, the moment and the method of introducing new products and parents' attitude towards food. The health consequences of food neophobia refer mainly to the potential loss of benefits due to an imbalanced diet and reducing the consumption of products rich in valuable nutrients. The severity of food neophobia determines the way of feeding children, forming their eating habits for further life.

“…Children usually run a higher risk of adaptation to unhealthy dietary behaviours with an increase in sugar intake. Childhood is known to be a period with a high preference for sweets due to several factors, which may lead to food choices rich in calories [ 2 , 20 , 21 , 39 ]. However, this sweet preference has been found to change with age, as less energy is needed [ 21 ].…”

Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of sweet taste perception on dietary habits in Saudi schoolchildren. In addition, the relationship between dietary habits and both caries and BMI was studied. Methods A cross-sectional observational study comprising 225 schoolchildren aged 13–15 years from Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, was conducted. The consumption frequency of certain food items was analysed from a beverage and snack questionnaire and a three-day estimated dietary record was obtained. The sweet taste perception level was determined as sweet taste threshold (TT) and sweet taste preference (TP). Children were grouped into low, medium, and high, according to their sweet taste perception level. ICDAS and DMFS indices were used for caries registration and anthropometric measurements using BMI were collected. Results Sweet taste perception was found to be negatively correlated to the number of main meals and positively correlated to both snack and sweet intake occasions. Statistically significant differences were found between the TT and TP groups with regard to the number of main meals and sweet intake (p ≤ 0.01). No significant correlation between the dietary variables and caries or BMI was found. Conclusions The dietary habits and sweet intake were found to be influenced by the sweet taste perception level, while the relation between the dietary habits and the caries and BMI was found insignificant.
