Abstract

Previous research suggests parental feeding practices potentially influence young children's consumption of fruits and vegetables. Most of this research is cross-sectional, with few studies exploring the longer-term associations. Therefore, this systematic review aims to explore the prospective associations between feeding practices and fruit and vegetable consumption in young children aged 1–6 years. Embase, Web of Science, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL were searched on October 16, 2023 for prospective studies assessing feeding practices and fruit and vegetable consumption. The search returned 1597 studies, 14 of which met inclusion criteria (6 randomised controlled trials, 5 observational studies, 3 experiments). Included studies were critically appraised using the Joanna Briggs Institute tool for cohort studies and were synthesised following Cochrane guidance for a narrative synthesis. Included studies lasted an average of 77 weeks (range: 2–468 weeks), yielded a total of 18,137 participants (range: 24–12,740), and were mostly (86 %) moderate/high quality. Thirteen feeding practices were explored, including four practices relating to coercive control, five relating to structure, and four relating to autonomy support. The most frequently assessed feeding practices were modelling (50 % of studies), nutrition education (43 % of studies), and pressure to eat (36 % of studies). Eleven (79 %) of the included studies reported a statistically significant association between at least one feeding practice and children fruit and/or vegetable consumption, with modelling most often having a positive effect. This review suggests that structure-based feeding practices are most consistently associated with fruit and/or vegetable consumption. However, a greater range of feeding practices need to be assessed longitudinally to better understand how they predict children's fruit and vegetable consumption over time.

父母喂养方式与1-6岁幼儿水果和蔬菜消费之间的前瞻性关联：一项系统综述

先前的研究表明，父母的喂养方式可能会影响幼儿对水果和蔬菜的摄入。大多数研究都是横向的，很少有研究探索长期的联系。因此，本系统综述旨在探讨1-6岁幼儿喂养方式与水果和蔬菜消费之间的潜在关联。Embase, Web of Science， MEDLINE, PsycINFO， CINAHL于2023年10月16日检索了评估喂养方法和水果和蔬菜消费的前瞻性研究。检索结果为1597项研究，其中14项符合纳入标准（6项随机对照试验，5项观察性研究，3项实验）。纳入的研究使用乔安娜布里格斯研究所的队列研究工具进行批判性评价，并按照科克伦的叙事综合指南进行综合。纳入的研究平均持续77周（范围：2-468周），共产生18,137名参与者（范围：24-12,740），大多数（86%）为中等/高质量。研究探讨了13种喂养方法，包括4种与强制控制有关的方法，5种与结构有关的方法，4种与自主支持有关的方法。最常被评估的喂养方法是建模（50%的研究）、营养教育（43%的研究）和强迫进食（36%的研究）。在所纳入的研究中，有11项（79%）报告了至少一种喂养方法与儿童水果和/或蔬菜消费之间的统计显著关联，其中建模通常具有积极影响。这一综述表明，以结构为基础的喂养方式与水果和/或蔬菜的消费最为一致。然而，需要对更大范围的喂养方法进行纵向评估，以更好地了解它们如何预测儿童一段时间内的水果和蔬菜摄入量。

期刊介绍： Appetite is an international research journal specializing in cultural, social, psychological, sensory and physiological influences on the selection and intake of foods and drinks. It covers normal and disordered eating and drinking and welcomes studies of both human and non-human animal behaviour toward food. Appetite publishes research reports, reviews and commentaries. Thematic special issues appear regularly. From time to time the journal carries abstracts from professional meetings. Submissions to Appetite are expected to be based primarily on observations directly related to the selection and intake of foods and drinks; papers that are primarily focused on topics such as nutrition or obesity will not be considered unless they specifically make a novel scientific contribution to the understanding of appetite in line with the journal's aims and scope.
