Family environmental influences on food avoidant eating behaviour during early childhood : a longitudinal and observational study
Faye Powell
- 01 Jan 2013
TL;DR: Observational and longitudinal data demonstrates the important causal contribution of family-environmental factors in the development of food avoidant eating behaviours during early childhood.
Unpacking the relationships between positive feeding practices and children's eating behaviours: The moderating role of child temperament.
TL;DR: Results suggest that while many previously identified positive feeding practices may be associated with more healthy eating for all children, some may be less helpful or less achievable with children who have particular temperamental traits.
Eating behaviour, quality of life and cardiovascular risk in obese and overweight children and adolescents: a cross-sectional study
TL;DR: In this paper , a cross-sectional observational study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between the total body mass of children and adolescents and its association with eating habits, quality of life (QoL), and possible changes in early markers of cardiovascular risk.

TL;DR: This community-based study in Nigeria found a significant association between child eating behaviour and anthropometric status in 2-4 year olds, with differences observed by gender, particularly in enjoyment of food and satiety responsiveness.
Growth and body composition in children who are picky eaters: a longitudinal view.
TL;DR: The growth trajectories of children who were picky eaters were reassuring, suggesting that some children may need specific early identification, intervention and growth surveillance.

Establishing a standard definition for child overweight and obesity worldwide: international survey
TL;DR: The proposed cut off points, which are less arbitrary and more internationally based than current alternatives, should help to provide internationally comparable prevalence rates of overweight and obesity in children.
The three-factor eating questionnaire to measure dietary restraint, disinhibition and hunger
TL;DR: The first step was a collation of items from two existing questionnaires that measure the related concepts of 'restrained eating' and 'latent obesity', to which were added items newly written to elucidate these concepts.

TL;DR: A genome-wide search for type 2 diabetes–susceptibility genes identified a common variant in the FTO (fat mass and obesity associated) gene that predisposes to diabetes through an effect on body mass index (BMI).
Predicting Obesity in Young Adulthood from Childhood and Parental Obesity
TL;DR: Obese children under three years of age without obese parents are at low risk for obesity in adulthood, but among older children, obesity is an increasingly important predictor of adult obesity, regardless of whether the parents are obese.
