“…For example, in the U.S., a greater availability of energy-dense snack foods and beverages in neighborhood stores has been positively correlated to excess weight among children 6–7 years (49, 52) yet it is unclear how the availability of highly palatable foods within the community relates to a child’s EAH. Further, exposure to food and beverage advertisements via television may mediate the positive associations between increased TV viewing time and child weight status (48–50, 53–55), yet studies examining the potential association between food and beverage promotions and EAH among children are absent.…”

Background Eating in the Absence of Hunger (EAH), or consuming highly palatable foods when satiated, is one behavioral pathway that may lead to childhood obesity. EAH is an objective, laboratory-based measure. A more comprehensive understanding of potential determinants of EAH could inform childhood obesity programs outside of a laboratory setting. Objective Systematic review of EAH experiments to identify individual, familial, and societal-level correlates of EAH among children 12 years of age or younger. Design 1,487 studies were retrieved from five electronic databases (Medline [PubMed], Web of Science, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PsycINFO). Eligible studies were those that measured EAH as initially operationalized in a laboratory setting enrolling children ≤12 years or reporting age-specific results for children ≤12 years. Only articles written in English were included. Results 12 cross-sectional, six prospective, and one behavioral-intervention studies were included in the review. EAH was observable among boys and girls; absolute levels of EAH increased with age; and maternal feeding styles were associated with EAH among girls. The most consistent evidence supported increased levels of EAH among overweight and obese versus normal weight children, both cross-sectionally and prospectively. Two studies supported a genetic component to EAH. Conclusions Studies enrolling independent samples support a positive association between weight status and EAH among children; studies addressing causality are needed. Other various individual, genetic, and familiar characteristics were associated with EAH, yet studies among more heterogeneous sample populations are needed to confirm findings. Studies addressing societal-level factors related to EAH were absent.

“…1–4 Previous evidence suggests that these unique behaviors tend to cluster together within people. 5,6 For example, regular engagement in physical activity in the form of sports or other exercise has been associated with a generally healthier diet, including greater intake of F&V. 7 Conversely, time spent in TV viewing is associated with increased consumption of soda, snacks, and fast food, 8 and decreased consumption of F&V. 9 A more robust understanding of associations among weight-related behaviors may allow for more effective targeting of behavior change in prevention or intervention programs.…”

Background Physical activity and diet are major modifiable health behaviors contributing to obesity risk. Although patterns of these behaviors tend to cluster within individuals and within family units, it is unknown to what extent healthy and unhealthy dietary intake might differentially accompany sedentary and physical activities in mothers as compared to their children. Objective Our goal was to examine differences in co-occurrence of activities and dietary intake between mothers and children, as measured in real time using Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA). Participants/setting This study examined cross-sectional data from 175 mothers and their 8–12 year old children. Main Outcome Measures Participants completed eight days of EMA surveys, reporting on whether the following activities had occurred in the past two hours: sedentary screen activity, physical activity, and intake of healthy (i.e., fruits and vegetables) and unhealthy (i.e., fast food, chips/fries, pastries/sweets, soda/energy drinks) foods. Statistical analyses performed Multilevel logistic regression models estimated the adjusted odds of consuming healthy and unhealthy dietary intake for mothers and children during time periods reporting physical activity (vs. no physical activity) or sedentary screen activity (vs. no sedentary screen activity). Post-hoc tests compared estimates for mothers vs. children. Results Children were significantly more likely than their mothers to consume unhealthy foods during two-hour windows that included physical activity (OR [children] = 1.85, 95% CI = 1.47 – 2.31; OR [mothers] = 0.83, 95% CI = 0.58 – 1.20, pdiff <0.05), but not sedentary screen activity (pdiff= 0.067). Additionally, children and their mothers did not differ in their likelihood of consuming healthy foods during two-hour windows with sedentary screen activity (pdiff = 0.497) or physical activity (pdiff = 0.170). Conclusions Results indicate that the consumption of unhealthy foods may be more likely to co-occur within a two-hour window including physical activity in children as compared to their mothers. Future research should examine reasons for this difference, and potential areas for intervention.

“…In one study, it was observed that watching TV is linked to some unhealthy eating behaviors such as decreased consumption of fruits and vegetables and increased consumption of fast foods in school-age children. [32] It was also observed that exposure to commercials for healthy foods could increase their consumption by preschoolers[7] and by contrast and exposure to commercials for unhealthy foods could increase their consumption among teenagers. [33] Many studies have also shown that more exposure to TV commercials affects food preferences and the demand for the advertised products in preschoolers and schoolchildren.…”

Iranian television advertisement and children′s food preferences

Background:In this study, the nature of food commercials in children's television (TV) was monitored and analyzed; simultaneously, the relationship between recalling TV food commercials and children's interest in them and in the consumption of the same food products was evaluated.Methods:A total of 108 h children's programs broadcast on two channels (Two and Amouzesh) of Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) media organization were monitored (May 6–12, 2015). Simultaneously, a cross-sectional study using 403 primary schoolchildren (201 boys) in four schools of Shirvan, Northeast of Iran, was executed. The children were prompted to recall all TV commercials broadcast on IRIB. Meanwhile, they were directed to define in the list of recalled TV food commercials those were interested in and the commercials (food products) they actually were willing to consume.Results:Regarding the frequency and duration of broadcasting, food commercials ranked fifth and sixth, respectively. Fruit leather and plum paste were the most frequently broadcast food commercials. “High quality” (19%), “good taste” (15%), “novelty”, and “message on nutritional composition” (13%) were the most frequent messages used in promoting the sale of food products, respectively. In addition, focus on “high quality/precision in the preparation of the food products” was the most frequently used appeals in TV commercials. There was a significant relationship between recalling TV food commercials and the interest in five out of eight of the commercials (62.5%) (P < 0.05). The relationship between recalling TV food commercials and the interest in the consumption of the same food product (“Tomato paste B”) was statistically significant for 12.5% of the commercials (P < 0.05).Conclusions:TV food commercials do not encourage healthy eating. The current study provides convincing evidence for policy-makers and researchers to pay more attention to this area.
