“…In our study, although stronger genetic effects on nutrient intakes were found among boys than girls, who may be more susceptible to environmental factors, including influences from peers (Field et al, 1999;Field et al, 2001) and their parents or other care providers (Levine et al, 1994;Smolak et al, 1999), girls had higher heritability in more food groups. Such a discrepancy between nutrients and food groups could be due to the strong sex differences in usual dietary intakes among children.…”

Background: Despite evidence for some genetic control of dietary intake in adults, there is little evidence of how genetic factors influence children's dietary patterns. Objective: To estimate heritability of dietary intake in twin children from China and test if genetic effects on dietary intakes vary by the children's socioeconomic status (SES). Methods: A sample of 622 twins (162 monozygotic and 149 dizygotic pairs; 298 boys and 324 girls aged 7-15 years) was recruited in South China. Dietary intakes were assessed using a validated 145-item semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire. Pooled and sex-specific dietary patterns were identified using factor analysis. Heritability was estimated using structural equation models. Results: Heritable components differed by gender and for nutrients and food groups; and estimated heritability of dietary patterns was generally greater in girls than boys. In boys, estimated heritabilities ranged from 18.8% (zinc) to 58.4% (fat) for nutrients; and for food group, 1.1% (Western fast foods) to 65.8% (soft drinks). In girls, these estimates ranged from 5.1% (total energy) to 38.7% (percentage of energy from fat) for nutrients, and 12.6% (eggs) to 94.6% (Western fast foods) for food groups. Factor analysis identified five food patterns: vegetables and fruits, fried and fast foods, beverages, snacks and meats. Maternal education and family income were positively associated with higher heritabilities for intake of meat, fried, and fast food. Conclusions: Genetic influence on dietary intakes differed by gender, nutrients, food groups, and dietary patterns among Chinese twins. Parental SES characteristics modified the estimated genetic influence.

“…Early research established links between mothers' body image attitudes and daughters' perceived importance of being thin, dieting and disordered eating behaviours (e.g., Hill, Weaver, & Blundell, 1990;Levine, Smolak, Moodey, Shuman, & Hessen, 1994). Two separate Australian studies have demonstrated links between mothers' and younger children's…”

A C C E P T E D M A N U S C R I P T ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT AbstractThere is widespread concern about young girls displaying 'grown up' or sexualized behaviours, as well as experiencing body image and appearance concerns that were previously thought to only impact much older girls The present study examined the influence of three maternal attributes, self-objectification, materialism and parenting style, on sexualized behaviours and appearance concerns in young girls. A sample of 252 Australian mothers of 5-8 year old girls reported on the behaviours and appearance concerns observed in their daughters and also completed measures of their own self-objectification, materialism and parenting style. It was found that a significant proportion of young girls were engaging with 'teen' culture, using beauty products and expressing some degree of appearance concern. Maternal self-objectification was related to daughters' engagement in teen culture, use of beauty products and appearance concern. Maternal materialism was related to girls' engagement in teen culture and appearance concern, while an authoritative parenting style was negatively related to girls' use of beauty products. The findings suggest that maternal self-objectification and materialism play a role in the body image and appearance concerns of young girls, and in so doing, identify ...

Research on the etiology, prevention, and treatment of eating disorders has increased over the past 3 decades, but in Iran there is no sociological study about eating disorders. So in this study, eating disorders has been verifi ed from a sociological perspective. Variables such as ICTs use, body-related social comparison, peer and parents' attitudes toward body were examined as the variables that could affect both body image and different types of eating disorders. The study sample was 600 girls and women between 15-29 years old of Shiraz (a city of Iran), were selected through multistage random sampling method. The results showed parents' attitudes toward body, BRSC, and ICTs use can affect both body image (body satisfaction & self-discrepancy as the tow components) and eating disorders, on the other hand body image can affect eating disorders. To examine the research model LISREL program was used and the independent variables could explain 63 percent of changes of the dependent variable.
