Understanding family food purchasing behaviour of low-income urban UK families: An analysis of parent capability, opportunity and motivation
CONCLUSIONS: Attempts to enhance parental capability to improve healthy food purchasing through nutrition education is not likely to be a useful intervention target in this group. Emphasis on enjoyment, palatability and value for money could be key to increasing parental motivation to purchase healthy family foods.PMID:38182053 | DOI:10.1016/j.appet.2023.107183 (Source: Appetite)

Dynamic relationships among feeling fat, fear of weight gain, and eating disorder symptoms in an eating disorder sample
Appetite. 2024 Jan 3:107181. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2023.107181. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTFeeling fat and fear of weight gain are key cognitive-affective symptoms that are theorized to maintain eating disorders (EDs). Little research has examined the dynamic relationships among feeling fat, fear of weight gain, emotions, cognitions, and ED behaviors. Furthermore, it is unknown if these relations vary by ED diagnosis (e.g., anorexia nervosa (AN) vs other ED). The current study (N = 94 ED participants; AN n = 64) utilized ecological momentary assessments collected four times a day for 18 days (72 timepoints) asking about ...

"You just have to spread it thin": Perceptions and feeding experiences of Australian fathers of young children living with disadvantage
This study explored fathers' perceptions of their roles and feeding practices and their lived experience of disadvantage through a symbolic interactionism lens. Twenty-five Australian fathers of children aged six months to five years who experienced socioeconomic disadvantage participated in semi-structured interviews. Five themes were constructed from reflexive thematic analysis: (i) responsibilities for foodwork are based on strengths, opportunities, and values, (ii) negotiating fatherhood identity from a place of tension to acceptance, (iii) struggling with financial and mental strain, and food insecurity, (iv) managing...

Guardians' food literacy and breakfast skipping among Japanese school children
Appetite. 2024 Jan 2:107200. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2024.107200. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTChildren and adolescents who regularly skip breakfast are at a greater risk of obesity than those who regularly eat breakfast. Guardian's food literacy, defined in this study as a collection of a guardian's knowledge, skill, and attitude towards healthy food practices, may directly influence their child's dietary habits. Thus, this study utilized a food literacy scale to assess the relationship between guardians' food literacy and breakfast skipping among school-attending Japanese children and adolescents and the most commonly repo...

Convenience as a dimension of food environments: A systematic scoping review of its definition and measurement
Appetite. 2024 Jan 2:107198. doi: 10.1016/j.appet.2023.107198. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTConvenience is a major driver of food choice throughout the world, yet it is often inconsistently conceptualised, defined and measured. This limits the scope for food systems policy and interventions to leverage convenience to improve diet and nutrition outcomes. We conducted a systematic literature review to determine how convenience is both defined and measured in food environment and nutrition research. Six databases were systematically searched and studies were screened by two independent reviewers based on pre-defined eligibil...

Exploring unequal class logics of mealtime food socialisation. An ethnography of family meals in France and Australia
This study aimed to investigate children's mealtime food socialisation in socially diverse households. Nine families from France and five from Australia were recruited, ranging from lower middle-class to upper-class positions, with children mostly between the ages of five to eight. The data is composed of the observations of 47 mealtimes and semi-directive interviews with both parents. The results showed that food socialisation and parents' understanding of children's taste development were linked to the household's social class position as well as to the temporal, cognitive and emotional resources parents possessed at mea...

The effect of childhood depression trajectories on sugar-sweetened beverage habit trajectories in adolescence: Exploring sleep problems as a mediator
This study examines the associations between childhood depressive symptoms trajectories and adolescent SSB-habit trajectories and whether these associations were mediated by sleep problems. Data came from 1560 adolescents participating in a longitudinal study across grades 1 through 12 in northern Taiwan. Group-based trajectory modeling was used to identify development of childhood depressive symptoms and an SSB habit in adolescence. Multinomial logistic regression was conducted to examine the influence of childhood depressive symptoms and adolescent SSB habit. Mediation analysis was conducted to test whether sleep problem...
