A large scientific consensus is established about the role of an adequate daily intake of fruit and vegetables in preventing major health implications such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, premature mortality, and diabetes (Li, 2014<\/a>). However, European children are not meeting the recommended fruit and vegetable intake (at least 400 g\/day) (WHO, 2004<\/a>). The development of children’s food preferences is multifactorial, involving the complex interplay between genetics and environmental factors, including the home environment (Scaglioni, 2018<\/a>). Parental influence has been identified as a key determinant of children’s food choice and consumption patterns via food availability at home, role modelling, family rules, and their own dietary practices and beliefs (Scaglioni, 2011<\/a>). Convincing evidence from cross\u2010sectional studies has shown that, in families where parents consumed fruit and vegetables regularly, children also had an increased intake of healthy foods (Draxten, 2014<\/a>; Jones, 2010<\/a>; Rodenburg, 2012<\/a>). Yet, research has focused only on the relationship between mothers’ and children’s eating habits, while little is known about fathers as potential agents.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, the present study aimed to explore in six European countries fruit and vegetable intake in children and the relationship between fathers’ and children’s fruit and vegetable intake, considering fathers’ education level and family income insecurity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

European children have low fruit and vegetable intake, especially in Southern European countries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fruit and vegetable intake among all children was low. Only 45.6% and 37.7% consumed respectively, fresh fruit and vegetables 1-2 times per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When compared by country, differences were observed. Children\u2019s fresh fruit intake of 1-2 times\/day ranged from 61.1% in Belgium to 34% in Hungary, while vegetable intake ranged from 61.6% in Belgium to 20.1% in Greece. Overall, results indicated that a low fruit and vegetables intake was mainly observed in children from Southern European countries (Greece, Spain and Hungary).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding fathers, only 65.9% consumed fruit and vegetable daily. Belgian fathers were more likely to consume fruit and vegetables daily (79.8%) while Hungarian had the lowest percentage (43.8%).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Children with fathers consuming fruit and vegetables daily were more likely to consume fresh fruit and vegetables<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Significant positive associations were observed between fathers\u2019 daily fruit and vegetables intake and children frequency of intake. In fact, when fathers consumed daily fruit and vegetable, children were 2.75 times and 2.55 times more likely to consume, respectively, fresh fruit and vegetables 1\u20132 times per day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After adjusting for paternal educational level and family income insecurity, associations remained significant for fresh fruit and vegetables. However, disparities were found across countries, in Greece mainly where the positive association became nonsignificant after adjustment. This finding highlights that fathers’ educational level and income insecurity might be important factors worth considering for fruit and vegetable intake in Greece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n <\/i>\n Methodology<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n
    \n
  • Cross\u2010sectional analysis using baseline data were collected in 2016 from the multicentre Feel4Diabetes Study, a 2\u2010year school\u2010 and community\u2010based intervention designed to prevent type 2 diabetes in vulnerable families across Europe.<\/li>\n
  • Participants were parent\u2010dyads (fathers, n = 10,038) and school children (n = 12,041) from six European countries (Bulgaria, Hungary, Belgium, Finland, Greece and Spain).<\/li>\n
  • Socio\u2010demographic data were collected using a self-reported questionnaire, while dietary data were evaluated using the Food-Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ). <\/li>\n
  • Frequency of food intake was recorded as weekly or daily consumption of food items: <1 time\/week, 1 or 2 times\/week, 3 or 4 times\/week, 5 or 6 times\/week, 1 or 2 times\/day, 3 or 4 times\/day, 5 or 6 time\/day and >6 times\/ day. <\/li>\n
  • One serving of fruit was considered to one medium\u2010sized fruit or \u00bd cup, vegetables \u00bd cup, canned or dried fruit \u00bd and \u00bc cup, respectively. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
    \n
    \n <\/i>\n Key messages<\/strong>\n <\/div>\n
      \n
    • The present study showed that children with fathers consuming FV daily were more likely to consume fresh fruit and vegetables 1\u20132 times per day.<\/li>\n
    • Future population\u2010based strategies promoting fruit and vegetable intake should be implemented not only in mothers, but also in fathers.<\/li>\n
    • A special attention should be given by policy makers to families dwelling in Southern European regions. <\/li>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

      Getting a child to eat fruit and vegetables is one of the best guarantees of good short- and long-term health. But what is the best way to do this ?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Three articles provide arguments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      • The first studied the effect of breastfeeding in children aged two to 12 years: breastfeeding for six months or more and introducing fruit and vegetables instead of cereals during complementary feeding increased intake and variety.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        <\/p>\n\n\n\n

        • The second focused on the most beneficial educational attitude of parents, which consisted of a coercive approach, structured practices and support for autonomy. Fruit and vegetable consumption was linked to confidence stemming from an upbringing combining incentives, example-setting and a degree of flexibility.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          <\/p>\n\n\n\n

          • The third explored the impact of the example set by the father. Children's once- or twice-daily consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables was strongly correlated with that of their fathers.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            <\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Being breastfed, having persuasive and yet flexible parents who set an example, and having a father who is also committed to this model are therefore three key factors in fruit and vegetable consumption from early childhood to adolescence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","post_title":"73 - May
