“…This could also explain why Profile 4, where fathers were satisfied with their food, but children were extremely dissatisfied with theirs (lower average SWFoL score than the rest of the profiles) is the profile with adolescents with the highest percentage of low-weight BMI (26.7%), which would negatively affect the adolescent’s health, such as having an unhealthy weight, eating disorders and lower levels of SWFoL [ 26 ]. Adolescence requires a well-balanced diet, because it is a period of strenuous growth due to a greater amount of activity and the development of physical and cognitive functions [ 88 ].…”

“…Several studies have established that the highest levels of SWFoL are associated with healthy eating habits in adults [ 17 , 21 , 25 , 26 ] and adolescents [ 17 , 27 ]. This suggests that people believe food contributes directly to their health [ 9 , 28 ].…”

“…This is reflected, for example, in a greater consumption of fruits and/or vegetables among the children of parents who adopt practices of stimulus feeding, access and availability. By contrast, more restrictive or controlling practices are associated with unhealthy eating habits, such as the desire for and consumption of restricted foods, if these are available [ 35 ], affecting the child’s health and weight later in life [ 43 ], eating disorders, and lower levels of SWFoL [ 26 ].…”

“…In this sense, it has been found that parents who motivate and model healthy eating are more likely to have children who eat healthy foods [ 38 ]. In addition, it must be considered that parental feeding practices not only affect the children’s current eating habits but will also influence how they will choose their own foods in the long term [ 42 ], considering that parental feeding practices correlate significantly with the BMI of adults and SWFoL [ 26 ]. Accordingly, it is relevant to understand the family mechanisms that can influence children’s food, which involves generating effective intervention strategies to control the dietary outcomes of adolescents [ 35 ].…”

The objectives of this study were to distinguish family profiles based on the level of satisfaction with food-related life (SWFoL) of mothers, fathers, and adolescents, and to characterize the profiles based on the three family members’ diet quality and nutritional status, family’s eating habits, parental feeding practices, parent’s nutritional knowledge, and sociodemographic characteristics. Questionnaires were applied to a sample of 300 two-parent families with adolescent children, aged between 10 and 17 years, in Temuco, Chile. The questionnaires used were: satisfaction with food-related life (SWFoL); adapted healthy eating index (AHEI); family eating habits questionnaire (FEHQ); and the nutritional knowledge subscale. They also answered questions about eating habits and provided data to determine BMI and sociodemographic characteristics. Four different profiles were identified with respect to SWFoL: “Families satisfied with their food” (50.6%); “Fathers and mothers moderately satisfied with their food, children satisfied” (23.2%); “Families extremely satisfied with their food” (16.6%); and “Fathers and mothers satisfied with their food, children extremely dissatisfied” (9.7%). The profiles demonstrated heterogeneity in SWFoL. Higher levels of SWFoL (mothers, fathers and adolescents) were associated with healthier eating habits. These results contribute to new studies that enable understanding of how families’ healthy eating habits are part of improving quality of life.

“…Much evidence links early parental feeding practices to disordered eating (Hazzard et al, 2020) and eating disorders (Gruber et al, 2020). Adults' retrospectively recalled parental feeding practices are associated with disordered eating, BMI, and body dissatisfaction (Lev-Ari and Zohar, 2013; Wang et al, 2022). However, the association between parental feeding practices and ONs has not been examined.…”

Background The similarities and differences between the orthorexia nervosa symptoms (ONs) and the symptoms and correlates of eating disorders listed in the DSM-5 need to be elucidated. ONs were examined in a volunteer community sample in conjunction with compulsive exercise, disordered eating, as well as emotional and behavioral correlates of eating disorders. Methods Participants were 561 adult volunteers (93 men, 17.09%) aged 19–72 (M = 32.7 ± 11), recruited via social media networks. Participants self-reported online on the following measures: Düsseldorf Orthorexia Scale, Compulsive Exercise Test, Retrospective Child Feeding Questionnaire, Experiences in Close Relationships, Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Scale, Toronto Alexithymia Scale, and Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire 13. Data was downloaded and analyzed in SPSS26 and Amos26. Results A theoretical model of the connections between the study variables was tested via SEM and confirmed. The profiles of participants with high, average and low levels of ONs were compared. Participants with the highest levels also scored highest for compulsive exercise, insecure attachment, alexithymia, emotion regulation difficulties, weight and shape concerns, body dissatisfaction, restriction, bingeing, purging and recollections of their parents being concerned about their overweight, and restricting and monitoring their intake of calorie-rich foods as children. Discussion High levels of ONs are related to disordered eating attitudes and behaviors, as well as to emotional and behavioral correlates of eating disorders. It is unclear to what extent these ONs are distinguishable from symptoms of other eating disorders listed in the DSM-5. Longitudinal studies may help to elucidate distinct trajectories and risk factors of ON. Level of evidence Level III, case–control analytic study.
