“…Furthermore, the dietary assessment method used by Arvidsson et al (2017; a 43-item food frequency questionnaire) was different from that used in the current study. Also consistent with the current study results, Oh et al (2014) found a relationship between healthy dietary intake and better social skills in a study of 1,458 preschool children in Korea. However, this was based on cross-sectional data only.…”

“…Only a handful of cross-sectional studies have investigated the relationship between child dietary intake and socioemotional dimensions of school readiness. These studies have found that a healthy dietary intake was associated with better social skills among 5-year-old children (Oh et al, 2014) and that malnutrition was associated with impaired social behavior among 3-year-old children (Liu & Raine, 2017). Therefore, through improved nutrition and healthy weight status, it is plausible that healthy dietary intake in the early years could be beneficial for children's socioemotional development.…”

Dietary intake can affect the physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development of young children. Few studies have explored the relationships between dietary intake and the cognitive and socioemotional dimensions of school readiness. This study aimed to investigate the longitudinal associations between children’s dietary intake in early childhood, and cognitive and socioemotional school readiness indicators at age 4–5 years using data from the Longitudinal Study of Australian Children. A total of 4,253 children were included in the analysis. Multiple linear regression models were built to investigate whether dietary intake (measured by questionnaire at parent interview) at age 2–3 years predicted school readiness indicators of socioemotional and behavioral functioning (measured by parent-reported Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire [SDQ total score and pro-social scale]), verbal (assessed by Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test–Third Edition [PPVT-III]) and nonverbal (assessed by “Who Am I” test [WAI] cognitive skills) at age 4–5 years. Furthermore, using cross-sectional data at age 4–5 years, four multiple linear regression models were built to investigate if dietary intake was correlated with the aforementioned school readiness indicators. All models were adjusted for potential confounders. It was found that every one-point increase in child dietary intake score at age 2–3 years led to a decrease in SDQ total score by 0.19 (95% confidence interval [CI] = [0.10, 0.28], and an increase in SDQ pro-social scale, WAI score and PPVT score by 0.07 (95% CI = [0.03, 0.10]), 0.27 (95% CI = [0.13, 0.41]), and 0.20 (95% CI = [0.09, 0.30]), respectively, at age 4–5 years. Children’s dietary intake was also a correlate of their school readiness at age 4–5 years. These results add to the limited evidence base suggesting that children’s early dietary intake may play an important role in later socioemotional and behavioral development, and the development of cognitive skills, which are critical school readiness indicators.

“…Pada anak- anak usia sekolah, terjadi perubahan pola makan yang besar. Kalau selama ini waktu makan mereka lebih banyak dilewatkan bersama orangtuanya, maka memasuki usia sekolah, kegiatan makan mereka lebih banyak dilewatkannya di sekolah bersama teman-temannya (7,23) . Status gizi yang baik dan buruk yang dialami anak usia sekolah merupakan pilihan dalam menentukan kesehatan dan kecerdasan mereka, maka diperlukan metode tatalaksana pola konsumsi terhadap status gizi anak.…”

Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengetahui Tatalaksana Pola Konsumsi Terhadap Status Gizi Anak Taman Kanak-Kanak. Jenis penelitian yang digunakan adalah observasional dengan pendekatan cross sectional study. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan exhaustic sampling dengan jumlah sampel sebanyak 43 anak. Hasil penelitian diperoleh bahwa kebiasaan sarapan (p=0,002), frekuensi makan ( p=0,022), pola pengasuhan gizi (p=0,003), berhubungan dengan status gizi anak Taman Kanak-Kanak (< 0,05). Kesimpulan diperoleh bahwa ada hubungan kebiasaan sarapan, frekuensi makan, pola pengasuhan gizi dengan status gizi anak taman kanak-kanak. Diharapkan bagi anak melalui orang tua untuk dapat menatalaksana pola konsumsi dan membiasakan sarapan pagi sebelum anak berangkat ke sekolah, karena tubuh membutuhan asupan gizi yang didapat dari sarapan pagi untuk memelihara ketahanan fisik dan untuk meningkatkan kemampuan belajar. Orang tua berperan penting dalam pengasuhan gizi dan menyiapkan bekal sekolah anak yang sehat dan aman untuk dikonsumsi oleh anaknya agar makanan yang dikonsumsi oleh anak dapat terpantau.

“…Additionally, maternal mental health, such as anxiety and depression is associated with the onset of child CP (Fairfield et al, 2019;Fong et al, 2019;Holmes, 2013;Shelleby & Shaw, 2014;Stein et al, 2014). Diet is another factor that has been shown to impact child CP, both as a buffer and exacerbator (Gajos & Beaver, 2016;Gete et al, 2022;Miyake et al, 2020;Oh et al, 2014;Prado & Dewey, 2014;Zhu et al, 2023).…”

“…Children who are exposed to an 'unhealthy' diet antenatally by mothers and postnatally by their own food consumption may be at a higher risk for behavioural problems. Whereas a healthier diet may be a protective factor for children's behaviour (Ajmal et al, 2022;Dou et al, 2023;Gete et al, 2022;Hammersley et al, 2022;Jacka, 2019;Jackson et al, 2016;Miyake et al, 2020;Oh et al, 2014;Zhang et al, 2021;Zhu et al, 2023). It asks the question on whether diet is important to consider when investigating potential preventative measures to combat negative child outcomes, such as CP.…”

How Diet Impacts the Relationship between Intimate Partner Aggression and Child Conduct Problems

Abstract The positive relationship between intimate partner aggression (IPA) and child conduct problems (CP) is an established research finding in the literature, suggesting that exposure to IPA can negatively impact on children’s behaviour. The relationship between diet and children’s behaviour is also an established research finding, suggesting that a ‘healthy’ diet can buffer against, while an ‘unhealthy’ diet can exacerbate, child behavioural problems.These established relationships lead us to create hypotheses that test whether maternal and child dietary patterns can moderate the relationship between minor IPA and child CP, which is yet to be explored. It is hypothesised that both the maternal and child 'healthy' dietary patterns will act as a protective factor for CP in children who are exposed to IPA. The current study is based on the dataset from the Growing Up in New Zealand (GUiNZ) study, which is New Zealand’s biggest and continuing longitudinal study with over 6,000 children. Diet was measured antenatally for the mother and at child age 2 and 4.5. Minor IPA was measured antenatally and when the child was 9 months through mother and partner reports. CP was measured via the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) at age 2, 4.5 and 8.Structural equation models showed significant effects of IPA on CP for all time points. Both 'healthy' and 'junk' diet had varying impacts on child CP, with mainly positive effects of ‘healthy’ diet and negative effects of ‘junk diet on child CP. However, moderation effects of diet for the relationship between IPA and CP did not withstand multiple comparisons, indicating no moderating effect of diet. Implications of the research suggest that broader dietary patterns may not need further investigation in this context as IPA is a predictor of CP that is not changed by diet. Despite no significant buffering effects, the direct effects of the maternal and child diet allow the recommendation of incorporating diet as a key component in the prevention and intervention of children with behavioural problems.
