Non-Responsive Feeding Practices, Unhealthy Eating Behaviors, and Risk of Child Overweight and Obesity in Southeast Asia: A Systematic Review

Abstract

Childhood obesity is increasing dramatically in many Southeast Asian countries, and becoming a significant public health concern. This review summarizes the evidence on associations between parental feeding practices, child eating behaviors, and the risk of overweight and obesity in Southeast Asian children 2–12 years old. We systematically searched five electronic academic/research (PubMed, PsycINFO, ProQuest Nursing, Medline, and CINAHL) databases using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) statement for peer-reviewed studies published in English between January 2000 and December 2016. Fourteen observational studies met the inclusion criteria and were reviewed. Reviewed studies were examined separately for preschool- and school-aged children and revealed that non-responsive parental feeding practices and unhealthy child eating behaviors were associated with a risk of child overweight and obesity in several Southeast Asian countries. Nonetheless, due to the small number of identified studies (n = 14) and because only about half of the Southeast Asian countries (Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore, the Philippines, and Malaysia) were represented (5/11) in the examined studies, additional research is needed to further understand the factors associated with childhood obesity among children in Southeast Asia to develop interventions that are tailored to the specific needs of Southeast Asian countries and designed to address practices and behaviors that may promote childhood obesity.

Le Dréan et al Neonatal consumption of oligosaccharides deeply increases L-cells density without any significant consequence on adult eating behavior

“…Preventing unhealthy feeding behaviors is highly desirable since deleterious eating habits are associated with health problems including higher risk of overweight or obesity [Lindsay et al 2017]. Because eating behavior is the result of integrated central and peripheral biological systems that are influenced by genetic, psychologic and environmental factors [MacLean et al, 2017], its optimization is highly complex and requires to fully elucidate the mechanisms that control eating behavior.…”

Parental communication and children's food choices : understanding the theoretical processes and conditions of effect

“…For example, Lessard et al (2010) found that persuasion can have opposite effects depending on whether the parent is perceived to be high or low in parental warmth. In addition, a systematic review investigating the effects of non-responsive parenting practices in Southeast Asia has found that nonresponsive parenting practices are related to child overweight and obesity (Lindsay, Sitthisongkram, Greaney, Wallington, & Ruengdej, 2017). Despite this, as we shall discuss in Chapter III (Study One) later, there are very few studies that have taken into account the moderating effect of parenting styles on the effect of context-specific parenting practices.…”

“…Likewise, Ray, Kalland, et al (2013) found that restrictive guidance had stronger correlations with healthy and unhealthy food consumption when parental warmth is high. In addition, a systematic review investigating the effects of non-responsive parenting practices in Southeast Asia has found that non-responsive parenting practices are related to child overweight and obesity (Lindsay et al, 2017).…”
