Perceptions of food intake and weight status among parents of picky eating infants and toddlers in China: A cross-sectional study

Abstract: Picky eating seems to occur at similar prevalence rates in China as has been reported in other countries. Parents' perceptions of food refusal do not reflect actual intakes, nor do nutrient intakes of picky eaters show additional gaps compared to non-picky eating children. In healthy children with typical growth patterns, picky eating seems to be a normal phase of development experienced by some children, without substantial consequences on their nutrient or food group intakes.

“…The characteristics of avoided foods included textures that were slippery or mushy, with avoided foods including meat, fish, egg, vegetables, and sauces. This is consistent with other studies, showing that picky eaters are perceived to consume or actually consume less meat, eggs, and vegetables (Li et al, 2017;van der Horst et al, 2016), with tough foods that require chewing being unappealing (Russell & Worsley, 2013).…”

“…Other subgroups at risk in a developed country include families on restrictive diets such as vegetarianism, children with chronic disease such as cystic fibrosis that is known to impair vitamin A metabolism and children with autism or other mental health illness that is associated with picky eating behaviours . Picky eating behaviour is increasingly more common in Western society and is known to be associated with nutrient deficiency . A Chinese study reported the prevalence of picky eating that was comparable to Western countries due to the increased adoption of Western foods, with 36% of children ( n = 1414) as young as 24–35 months of age demonstrating picky eating behaviour .…”
