Abstract

Background

The consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPFs) is associated with an increased risk of noncommunicable diseases and mortality in adults. The aim of this study was to analyse the association between mealtime television (TV) watching and UPF consumption in childhood.

Materials and Methods

Participants in the SENDO project recruited in 2015–2023 were classified into three categories based on the frequency at which they watched TV during meals. Dietary information was collected with a validated 147-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Generalized mixed models were used to compare mean UPF consumption between groups after accounting for the main confounders. The predictive margins of participants who had a free sugar intake >10% of their energy intake in each category were also calculated.

Results

Totally 970 subjects (482 girls) with a mean age of 5.00 years (SD = 0.85) were studied. Children who watched TV during meals ≥4 times/week consumed a mean of 4.67% more energy from UPF than those who watch TV <3 times/month. The adjusted proportions of children who had a free sugar intake >10% of their energy intake in the categories of <3 times/month, 1–3 times/week and ≥4 times/week exposure to TV during meals were 44.9%, 45.9% and 58.7%, respectively.

Conclusion

TV watching during meals is associated with higher consumption of UPFs and a higher risk of exceeding 10% of TEI in free sugar intake in childhood.

在儿童时期，吃饭时看电视与较高的超加工食品摄入量和较高的游离糖摄入量有关。

背景：超加工食品（UPFs）的消费与成人非传染性疾病和死亡风险的增加有关。本研究旨在分析儿童期进餐时间看电视（TV）与超高加工食品摄入量之间的关联：2015-2023年招募的SENDO项目参与者根据进餐时看电视的频率被分为三类。通过经过验证的 147 项半定量食物频率问卷收集饮食信息。在考虑了主要的混杂因素后，采用广义混合模型比较了各组的平均 UPF 消费量。此外，还计算了游离糖摄入量大于各类能量摄入量 10% 的受试者的预测幅度：研究共涉及 970 名受试者（482 名女孩），平均年龄为 5.00 岁（SD = 0.85）。在进餐期间看电视≥4 次/周的儿童从 UPF 中摄入的能量平均比看电视占其能量摄入 10%的儿童多 4.67%：进餐时看电视与更高的 UPF 消费量和儿童期游离糖摄入量超过 TEI 10%的风险有关。

期刊介绍： Pediatric Obesity is a peer-reviewed, monthly journal devoted to research into obesity during childhood and adolescence. The topic is currently at the centre of intense interest in the scientific community, and is of increasing concern to health policy-makers and the public at large. Pediatric Obesity has established itself as the leading journal for high quality papers in this field, including, but not limited to, the following: Genetic, molecular, biochemical and physiological aspects of obesity – basic, applied and clinical studies relating to mechanisms of the development of obesity throughout the life course and the consequent effects of obesity on health outcomes Metabolic consequences of child and adolescent obesity Epidemiological and population-based studies of child and adolescent overweight and obesity Measurement and diagnostic issues in assessing child and adolescent adiposity, physical activity and nutrition Clinical management of children and adolescents with obesity including studies of treatment and prevention Co-morbidities linked to child and adolescent obesity – mechanisms, assessment, and treatment Life-cycle factors eg familial, intrauterine and developmental aspects of child and adolescent obesity Nutrition security and the "double burden" of obesity and malnutrition Health promotion strategies around the issues of obesity, nutrition and physical activity in children and adolescents Community and public health measures to prevent overweight and obesity in children and adolescents.
