“…Additional reported extrinsic factors include food advertising and other children 21 and limited time and toddler acceptance. 32 When looking at mothers of older children, PBC was the strongest predictor of mothers encouraging a healthy diet, 33 which was also supported in this study as it was the strongest predictor in both models. The concept of PBC has had much theoretical debate and has been shown to be challenging to measure, which was demonstrated in this study since PBS was an unreliable measure (a = 0.501).…”

Objective: To use the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) to assess mothers' behavioral intentions to provide toddlers with a healthy diet and see if the addition of the parental role construction (PRC) variable strengthened the TPB. Design: An online survey using data gathered from preliminary research and a previously validated survey.Participants: The final sample consisted of 148 mothers. The mean age was 32.8 (SD = 6.16) years. Most participants were married (87.2%), had earned a college degree or higher (79.7%), held part-time or fulltime employment (60.8%), and White (90.3%). Main Outcome Measures: The TPB constructs, PRC, and the mothers' behavioral intentions surrounding toddler feeding. Analysis: The determinants of intention per the TPB were explored using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression. Results: The TPB model predicted 53% of the variance in mother's behavioral intention to provide their toddler with a healthy diet. The addition of the PRC variable added 6% more predictive power to the model. Conclusions and Implications: Mothers' behavioral intentions surrounding feeding their toddlers were strongly influenced by the TPB constructs and their perceptions of the maternal role. Health promotion efforts should aim to increase the mother's sense of behavioral control and parental responsibility rather than focusing on the benefits of healthy eating.

“…Indeed, one of the risk factors of ECC is daily, frequent, high-sugar food intake, which is also a significant risk factor for obesity [52,53]. Introducing a change in children's diet has been shown to be challenging [54] and the persistence of feeding cariogenic habits also explains the considerable prevalence of caries relapse in this population [19,22]. Knowing the long-term risk of obesity starting during childhood and the aggravating risk of dental caries relapse, it is necessary to improve nutritional guidance for children treated for ECC and their families [55].…”

Background: Using the granulometry of ready-to-swallow food boluses, this study investigated the evolution of masticatory capability of children with Early Childhood Caries (ECC) after comprehensive dental treatment under general anesthesia (GA). Methods: Sixteen children with ECC were assessed before and over one year after dental treatment under GA, in comparison with 12 children with a Healthy Oral State (HOS). Oral health criteria, quality of life, body mass index, and frequency of orofacial dysfunctions were recorded. Masticatory kinematic parameters and median food bolus particle size (D50) at swallowing were assessed while masticating raw carrot (CAR), cheese (CHS), and breakfast cereals (CER). The impact of posterior teeth extractions was analyzed. Results: Quality of life and orofacial functions improved after dental treatment. Chewing frequency for all three foods increased without reaching the values of children with HOS, while D50 values for CAR and CHS decreased. After one year, children with posterior teeth extractions exhibited higher D50 values for CAR and CHS than children with only conservative treatment. One third of children with ECC were overweight or obese. Conclusions: Comprehensive dental treatment improved children’s mastication, and their BMI subsequently increased. Links between mastication and nutrition should be investigated further in children.

Net of the crucial contribution of this line of research, it has been shown that the long‐term health benefits do not derive from the targeted consumption or avoidance of particular foods but from the synergy of all the components present in a complete and balanced diet, such as the Mediterranean one (Mari et al, 2007).…”

The Mediterranean diet (MD) is one of the healthiest and most sustainable food regimes. Nevertheless, MD diffusion is still limited, emphasizing the need to understand the psychosocial factors that could predict and promote its adoption. Starting from an integrated model of Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Self‐Determination Theory (SDT), the present randomized controlled trial investigated the effect of manipulating motivation (autonomous vs. controlled) on intention and MD adherence behavior. Participants included 726 Italian adults randomly allocated to one of three conditions: autonomous motivation manipulation, controlled motivation manipulation, and control group. TPB variables were measured immediately after manipulation (T1), while MD adherence was evaluated 2 weeks later (T2). Results from multivariate analyses of variance highlighted that participants in the autonomous motivation condition reported higher intention and a more favorable cognitive attitude than control group participants. However, no change in behavior was found. Moreover, a path analysis with mediation effect showed that the impact of autonomous motivation condition versus control group on intention was mediated by cognitive attitude. Findings support the integration of TPB and SDT to encourage intention to adhere to the MD, also suggesting that prompting autonomous motivation may help to promote a greater diffusion of this healthy and sustainable dietary pattern.
