AbstractObjectiveTo explore the relationship among children’s diet quality, weight status and food environment in subarctic Canada.DesignIn the cross-sectional study, children’s BMI was calculated, diet quality was assessed using three 24 h dietary recalls and children were asked about their home food environment and source of meals.SettingTwo Aboriginal Cree communities in northern Québec.SubjectsTwo hundred and one children in grades 4–6.ResultsThe majority (64·2 %) of children were overweight (29·9 %) or obese (34·3 %). Weight status was not associated with reported restaurant meal frequency or the home food environment. The 18 % of children who consumed three or more restaurant meals in the three days of recall consumed, on average, 2004 kJ (479 kcal) more energy daily than children consuming no restaurant meals and had higher intakes of fat, saturated fat, Ca and soda. Most foods contributing to energy and dietary fat were energy-dense market foods of low nutritional value such as sweetened beverages and snack foods. Only 68 % of children reported often having fruits and vegetables in the home and 98·5 % of children consumed less than 5 fruits and vegetables daily. Many children (42·8 %) were at risk of Zn inadequacy. Only 19 % of children consumed 2 or more servings of milk daily, and the mean intakes of Ca and vitamin D were below the recommended adequate intake. Traditional game meat was consumed infrequently, but contributed significantly to Fe and Zn intake.ConclusionsChildhood obesity in subarctic communities prevailed in a food environment typified by high-energy-density commercial foods of low nutritional value.

Abstract Background The home provides the physical and social context for the majority of eating behaviors for U.S. adults. This study describes eleven dimensions of the home food environment among a national sample of U.S. adults and identifies which are associated with diet quality and overweight/obesity. Methods A national sample of U.S. adults ages 18 to 75 was recruited from an online survey panel. Respondents (n = 4942) reported on foods available in the home, including 1) fruit and vegetables, 2) salty snacks/sweets, 3) less healthy beverages, as well as 4) food placement, 5) shopping practices for fruits and vegetables, 6) food preparation, 7) portion control methods, 8) family meals from restaurants, 9) family household practices around TV and eating, 10) presence of a TV in the dining area, and 11) ownership of a scale. Self-reported height and weight, fruit and vegetable intake, and percent calories from fat were also assessed. Results Mean household size was 2.6, 32.7% had children in the home, and 23.1% lived alone. The majority were White (67.7%), with 12.3% Black and 14.3% Hispanic. Mean age was 44.4 and 48.3% were men. In multivariable models, seven features of the home food environment were associated with meeting the recommended fruit and vegetable intake guidelines, with food placement, meal preparation, frequency of shopping for fruit, and a greater variety of fruits and vegetables available in the home most strongly associated. Eight of 11 features were associated with percent energy from fat, including restaurant food for family meals, salty snacks and sweets availability, less healthy beverages availability, food placement, meal preparation, frequency of shopping for fruit, family eating with the TV on, and having a TV in the dining area. More diverse fruit and vegetable availability was associated with lower odds of overweight/obesity, and more frequent family eating while watching TV was associated with increased odds of overweight/obesity. Conclusion Targeting these dimensions of the home food environment may be a promising approach for future intervention research.

Abstract Background Neurobehavioral factors, including reward-related eating and self-regulation, in conjunction with the food environment, may influence dietary behaviors. However, these constructs have not been examined in pregnancy and postpartum, a time of changing appetite and eating behaviors, and when dietary intake has implications for maternal and child health. This study examined associations of reward-related eating, self-regulation, and the home food environment with pregnancy and postpartum diet quality. Methods Participants in the Pregnancy Eating Attributes Study observational cohort were enrolled at ≤12 weeks gestation and followed through one-year postpartum. Pregnancy and postpartum Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI-total), and adequacy and moderation scores, respectively, were calculated by pooling 24-h diet recalls administered each trimester and during 2, 6, and 12 months postpartum. Participants completed four measures of reward-related eating – Modified Yale Food Addiction Scale (mYFAS), Power of Food Scale (PFS), Multiple Choice Procedure (MCP), and Reinforcing Value of Food Questionnaire (RVFQ); two measures of self-regulation – Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS) and Delay of Gratification Inventory (DGI); and a Home Food Inventory (HFI), yielding obesogenic (OBES) and fruit/vegetables (FV) scores. Linear regression analyses estimated associations of reward-related eating, self-regulation, and home food environment with diet quality during pregnancy and postpartum, adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics. Results Pregnancy HEI-total was inversely associated with PFS (β = − 0.14 ± 0.05, p = 0.009), mYFAS(β = − 0.14 ± 0.06, p = 0.02), 2 of the 5 RVFQ indices, MCP (β = − 0.14 ± 0.05, p = 0.01), and DGI food subscale (β = 0.23 ± 0.05, p < 0.001), but associations of postpartum HEI-total with reward-related eating measures and self-regulation were small and not statistically significant. Pregnancy and postpartum HEI-total were associated inversely with HFI-OBES (β = − 0.17 ± 0.06, p = 0.004 and β = − 0.19 ± 0.07, p = 0.006, respectively), and positively with HFI-FV (β = 0.21 ± 0.05, p < 0.001 and β = 0.17 ± 0.06, p = 0.009, respectively). Conclusions Associations of poorer diet quality with greater reward-related eating during pregnancy but not postpartum suggests the need to better understand differences in the determinants of eating behaviors and approaches to circumvent or moderate reward-related eating to facilitate more optimal diet quality across this critical period.

Participants in the Pregnancy Eating Attributes Study observational cohort were enrolled at ≤12 weeks gestation and followed through one-year postpartum. Pregnancy and postpartum Healthy Eating Index-2015 (HEI) was calculated by pooling 24-hour diet recalls during each trimester and during 2, 6, and 12 months postpartum. Participants completed four measures of reward-related eating – Modified Yale Food Addiction Scale (mYFAS), Power of Food Scale (PFS), Multiple Choice Procedure (MCP), and Food Reinforcement Questionnaire (FRQ); two measures of self-control – Barratt Impulsiveness Scale and Delay of Gratification Inventory; and a Home Food Inventory (HFI), yielding obesogenic (OBES) and fruit/vegetables (FV) scores. Linear regression analyses estimated associations of reward-related eating, self-control, and home food environment with diet quality during pregnancy and postpartum, adjusting for sociodemographic characteristics. Results. Pregnancy, HEI was inversely associated with PFS, mYFAS, MCP, and 2 of the 5 FRQ indices, but most associations of postpartum HEI with reward-related eating measures were not statistically significant. Associations of HEI with general self-control measures were not statistically significant. Pregnancy and postpartum HEI were associated inversely with HFI-OBES and positively with HFI-FV. Conclusions. Associations of diet quality with greater reward-related eating during pregnancy but not postpartum suggests the need to better understand differences in the determinants of eating behaviors and approaches to circumvent or moderate reward-related eating to facilitate more optimal diet quality across this critical period.

Abstract Objectives The primary aim of this cross-sectional study was to determine if the physical home food environment (availability of foods and beverages in the home) differed by maternal weight status using an open home food inventory. Methods Each weight status group (normal weight, overweight, obese, post-bariatric surgery) included eight mothers for a total of 32 mothers (41.5 ± 5.7 years old, 65.6% white) with a child 6–12 years old (9.2 ± 2.3 years old, 65.6% white). An open home food inventory was conducted by research personnel to record all food and beverage items in each home food environment. The item name/brand, size, and quantity was recorded. For each household, all items were entered into Nutrition Data Systems for Research (NDS-R) to determine total energy (kcals) and servings of fruits, vegetables, sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs), and snacks available in the home. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze demographic characteristics between groups. A one-way ANOVA was used to analyze differences between groups for the following dependent variables: calories, servings of fruits, servings of vegetables, servings of snacks, and servings of SSBs. If there were significant differences post-hoc analyses were conducted. Results Households had an average of 4.5 ± 1.4 members, and the majority (40.6%) reported an annual income of $100,000 or more. There was a significant difference for SSBs (F (3,28) = 4.06; P = 0.016) in the home food environment with mothers in the post-bariatric group having significantly fewer servings of SSBs available in the home compared to mothers in the obese group (post-bariatric: 35.3 ± 37.3 servings; obese: 158.5 ± 105.7 servings; P = 0.013 ). Total energy (P = 0.27), servings of fruit (P = 0.11), servings of vegetables (0.17), and servings of snacks (P = 0.42) did not significantly differ between households. Conclusions Given the recommendation to eliminate SSBs following bariatric surgery these data support that this change is being made within the home food environment of mothers who received bariatric surgery as compared to mothers with obesity. Limited differences between physical home food environments may warrant consideration of additional environmental and behavioral factors associated with weight outcomes. Funding Sources S.
