Popis: | Objective To examine the differences in family eating behaviors and child eating patterns in children with siblings (nonsingletons) and without siblings (singletons). Methods Cross-sectional analysis of mother–child dyads of 5–7-year-old children, (nonsingletons with a 2-to-4-year-old sibling) was conducted. Anthropometrics were measured. Mothers completed questionnaires and a child dietary log. Healthy Eating Index 2010 (HEI) score was calculated. Linear regression models adjusting for child age, child sex, maternal body mass index, and hours-away-from-home were conducted, with a revised P Results Sixty-eight mother–child dyads (27 singletons, 41 nonsingletons) participated. Singletons exhibited less healthy family eating behaviors (β = −4.98, SE = 1.88, P = .003), and lower total HEI scores than did nonsingletons (average: β = −8.91, SE =2.40, P = .001). On average, singletons had lower scores in 3 HEI components compared with nonsingletons (P Conclusion In this sample, singleton children exhibited less healthy eating behaviors. Additional investigation into parent-level differences is warranted. |
