Abstract

Purpose of review: To examine and synthesise recent evidence on the role of grandparents in shaping children's dietary health.

Recent findings: The influence of grandparents on children's dietary health was evident across studies. Grandparents frequently provide their grandchildren with meals and snacks, and engage in many of the same feeding practices used by parents. Although grandparents report providing their grandchildren with healthy foods, the provision of treat foods high in sugar or fat was a common finding. This provision led to family conflict, with the indulgent behaviours of grandparents seen by parents as a barrier to healthy eating. Grandparents are exerting significant influence on child dietary health. Efforts are needed to ensure these care providers are considered key stakeholders in the promotion of healthy eating and are targeted in policies and programs addressing children's diets. Research that determines how to best support grandparents to foster healthy behaviours in children is critical.

祖父母对儿童饮食健康的影响:一个叙述性的回顾。

综述的目的:检查和综合关于祖父母在塑造儿童饮食健康中的作用的最新证据。最近的研究发现:祖父母对儿童饮食健康的影响在各种研究中都很明显。祖父母经常给他们的孙子们提供饭菜和零食，并参与许多与父母相同的喂养方法。尽管祖父母报告给他们的孙辈提供健康食品，但提供高糖或高脂肪的治疗食品是一个普遍的发现。这一规定导致了家庭冲突，祖父母的放纵行为被父母视为健康饮食的障碍。祖父母对儿童的饮食健康有着重要的影响。需要作出努力，确保这些护理提供者被视为促进健康饮食的关键利益攸关方，并成为解决儿童饮食问题的政策和方案的目标。确定如何最好地支持祖父母培养儿童健康行为的研究至关重要。

期刊介绍： This journal aims to provide comprehensive review articles that emphasize significant developments in nutrition research emerging in recent publications. By presenting clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to discuss the influence of nutrition on major health conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity, as well as the impact of nutrition on genetics, metabolic function, and public health. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas across the field. Section Editors select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. We also provide commentaries from well-known figures in the field, and an Editorial Board of more than 25 internationally diverse members reviews the annual table of contents, suggests topics of special importance to their country/region, and ensures that topics and current and include emerging research.
