“…Additionally, qualitative research should be conducted with parents to help understand motivation and practice behind encouragement for healthy eating, as this may provide context as to why and how some parents encourage healthy eating while others do not. While previous research has found ethnicity is a factor associated with family meals (4,9,22) , the present study did not find significant interactions between the relationship of family meals and encouragement of healthy eating. This may be due to differences in sample characteristics.…”

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to explore the relationship between family meals and parental encouragement of healthy eating overall and by ethnicity. Design: Family meal frequency was measured with one item asking how many times in the past 7 d all or most of the family ate a meal together, which was then categorized to represent three levels of family meals (#2 times, 3-6 times and $7 times). Parental encouragement of healthy eating assessed how often parents encouraged the student to eat fruits and vegetables, drink water, eat wholegrain bread, eat breakfast and drink low-fat milk (never to always). An overall scale of parental encouragement of healthy eating was created. Mixed-effect regression analyses were run controlling for gender, ethnicity, age and socio-economic status. Moderation by ethnicity was explored. Setting: Middle schools. Subjects: Participants included 2895 US eighth grade students participating in the Central Texas CATCH (Coordinated Approach To Child Health) Middle School Project (mean age 13?9 years; 24?5 % White, 52?7 % Hispanic, 13?0 % AfricanAmerican, 9?8 % Other; 51?6 % female). Results: Eating more family meals was significantly associated with having parents who encouraged healthy eating behaviours (P for trend ,0?001). The number of family meals was positively associated with encouragement of each of the healthy eating behaviours (P for trend ,0?0001). There were no differences in the relationships by ethnicity of the students. Conclusions: Families who eat together are more likely to encourage healthy eating in general. Interventions which promote family meals may include tips for parents to increase discussions about healthy eating.

“…In other countries, the intake of fruits and vegetables is correlated to age and gender 225 (29), but in our study, we observed an interaction effect only for leafy vegetables in 226 relation to age. To our knowledge, the interaction of sex and age on food intake had not 227 been tested so far, but there is at least one study that has evaluated nutrient intake.…”

“…Health patterns such as normal blood pressure (28), absence 209 of cardiovascular disease (9), and normal lipid levels (12,13) are likely to be the result 210 of lifestyle, genes, and environmental characteristics, but their relation to seasonal 211 variation has not been clearly linked. Also, other conditions, such as mood disorders, 212 are likely to affect eating habits significantly throughout the binge precipitation (29). 213…”

“…In developing countries, out-of-season fruits and vegetables are 27 usually more expensive and may not be accessible to low-income families and regions 28 (7). A recent study has shown a different progression of food intake with aging in men 29 and women. For men, there was a linear reduction in the consumption of poultry, 30…”
