“…As pesquisas [41][42][43][44][45][46] realizadas por diferentes autores têm evidenciado similaridades com relação às preferências, à ingestão, à aceitação e à disposição para experimentar novos alimentos entre pais e filhos. Skinner et al 41 encontraram uma forte correlação entre as preferências alimentares de 117 pré-escolares, seus 213 pais e 47 irmãos mais velhos.…”

“…Entretanto, nenhum membro da família pareceu ter maior influência sobre as preferências alimentares das crianças. Do mesmo modo, Burt & Hertzler 42 verificaram que os pais apresentaram uma influência positiva e igual em relação às preferências alimentares de suas crianças. Outros estudos demonstraram uma correlação positiva entre preferências de pais e suas crianças, mas as associações nem sempre eram significativas e variavam de acordo com a idade dos filhos.…”

Determinantes do comportamento alimentar: uma revisão com enfoque na família

O comportamento alimentar ocupa atualmente um papel central na prevenção e no tratamento de doenças. A alimentação durante a infância, ao mesmo tempo em que é importante para o crescimento e desenvolvimento, pode também representar um dos principais fatores de prevenção de algumas doenças na fase adulta. Freqüentemente a família, os fatores sociais e os ambientais podem influenciar o padrão alimentar das crianças. O objetivo desta revisão foi abordar os diversos fatores ambientais envolvidos na aquisição de hábitos alimentares na infância. Os artigos selecionados foram pesquisados nas bases de dados Medline e SciELO considerando o período de 1978 a 2007. Foram utilizados os termos em ingles: children's eating patterns, children's dietary quality, determinants of children's eating patterns e em português. São apresentados os resultados de algumas investigações mais relevantes nesta área. Embora alguns desses fatores sejam inatos e, por isso, necessitem de um controle mais rigoroso, ressalta-se o papel determinante da família na formação dos hábitos alimentares saudáveis, pois a modificação de um hábito alimentar durante a fase adulta tem, em geral, alta taxa de insucesso. Além disso, outros fatores, como a escola, a rede social, as condições socioeconômicas e culturais, são potencialmente modificáveis e influenciam no processo de construção dos hábitos alimentares da criança e, conseqüentemente, do indivíduo adulto.

“…[1,2]). For example, similarities in food preferences between children and their parents or siblings are often small or non-existent [3][4][5][6]. However, these studies are far from definitive since developmental differences in sensory perceptive behaviors between parent and offspring could obscure similarities in response as a function of shared experience.…”

As part of a program of research designed to investigate the long-term effects of early feeding experiences, the present study exploited the substantial flavor variation inherent in three classes of commercially available infant formulas and determined whether flavor preferences during childhood differed as a function of the class of formula (i.e., milk, soy, hydrolysate) that 4-to 5-year-old children were fed during their infancy. Age appropriate, game-like tasks that were fun for children and minimized the impact of language development were used to examine their preferences for a wide range of food-related odor qualities including infant formulas, as well as the flavor of milk-based and hydrolysate formulas and plain, sour-and bitter-flavored apple juices. Formula type influenced children's flavor preferences when tested several years after their last exposure to the formula. When compared to children who were fed milk-based formulas (n = 27), children fed protein hydrolysate formulas (n = 50) were more likely to prefer sour-flavored juices, as well as the odor and flavor of formulas, and less likely to make negative facial expressions during the taste tests. Those fed soy formulas (n = 27) preferred the bitter-flavored apple juice. That the effects of differential formula feeding also modified children's food preferences is suggested by mothers' reports that children fed hydrolysate or soy formulas were significantly more likely to prefer broccoli than were those fed milk formulas. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that flavor experiences influence subsequent flavor preferences even several years following the early experience.

“…Previous studies from the 1980s however only observed weak positive correlations between taste and food preferences of children and their parents [5][6][7][8][9]. No differences were observed between the correlation of mothers and fathers with preferences of either boys or girls.…”

“…For each parent we categorised the highest educational level acquired according to the International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED) ranging from 1 (low education) to 8 (high education) [24]. For the present analysis the education level was grouped into three categories; 'low education' (ISCED level 0-2), 'medium education' (ISCED level [3][4][5] and 'high education' (ISCED level [6][7][8].…”

Familial aggregation and socio-demographic correlates of taste preferences in European children

et al. 2017

Background: Studies on aggregation of taste preferences among children and their siblings as well as their parents are scarce. We investigated the familial aggregation of taste preferences as well as the effect of sex, age, country of residence and education on variation in taste preferences in the pan-European I.Family cohort. Method: Thirteen thousand one hundred sixty-five participants from 7 European countries, comprising 2,230 boys <12 years, 2,110 girls <12 years, 1,682 boys ≥12 years, 1,744 girls ≥12 years and 5,388 parents, completed a Food and Beverage Preference Questionnaire containing 63 food items representing the taste modalities sweet, bitter, salty and fatty. We identified food items that represent the different taste qualities using factor analysis. On the basis of preference ratings for these food and drink items, a preference score for each taste was calculated for children and parents individually. Sibling and parent-child correlations for taste preference scores were calculated. The proportion of variance in children's preference scores that could be explained by their parents' preference scores and potential correlates including sex, age and parental educational was explored. Results: Mean taste preferences for sweet, salty and fatty decreased and for bitter increased with age. Taste preference scores correlated stronger between siblings than between children and parents. Children's salty preference scores could be better explained by country than by family members. Children's fatty preference scores could be better explained by family members than by country. Age explained 17% of the variance in sweet and 16% of the variance in fatty taste preference. Sex and education were not associated with taste preference scores. Conclusion: Taste preferences are correlated between siblings. Country could explain part of the variance of salty preference scores in children which points to a cultural influence on salt preference. Further, age also explained a relevant proportion of variance in sweet and fatty preference scores.
