Abstract Objectives Childhood obesity is a critical public health issue with short and long-term health and financial burdens. Studies show that childhood obesity is higher among children of immigrant/refugee households compared to children whose parents were born in the United States. Poor child dietary intake is a critical risk factor for elevated obesity prevalence. Nonetheless, parents feeding practices are known to be associated with child dietary intake. Thus, this study aimed to examine the associations between length of residence time in the US of migrants/refugees, parents feeding practices, and child diet quality while also taking into consideration race/ethnicity. Methods Data are from baseline measures of a longitudinal cohort study called Family Matters. The sample includes 1307 children ages 5–9 and their families from six racial/ethnic backgrounds. Results Results showed that feeding practices of immigrant/refugee parents changed in relation to their length of residency in the US, in particular, with regard to using directive (e.g., restriction), non-directive (e.g., modeling), and emotional feeding practices. Additionally, race/ethnicity was found to influence the relation between time length in the US and parents feeding practices. Moreover, the diet quality score changed in relation to parents' length of time in the US. For example, Hmong children had the poorest diet quality compared to African American, Native American, Hispanic, Somali, and White children. Conclusions Future research should consider studying more in-depth why parent feeding practices may change when parents move to the US and explore whether there is a combination of parent feeding practices that are most useful in promoting healthful child diet quality. It is also important to further examine why child diet quality declines (e.g., Hmong children) with parents' time living in the US as a migrant/refugee.

The Relationship

This study investigated the relationship between the intake of antioxidant nutrients and the suffering of cataracts in 177 institutionalized elderly people (61 men and 116 women) aged ≥ 65 years. Dietary intake was monitored for 7 consecutive days using a "precise individual weighing" method. Subjects, who during their earlier years were exposed by their work to sunlight, had a greater risk of suffering cataracts (OR = 3.2; Cl: 1.1–9.3, P < 0.05) than those who worked indoors. A relationship was found between increased vitamin C intake and a reduced prevalence of cataracts (i.e., when comparing those above P95 for vitamin C intake with those below P5; (OR = 0.08; Cl: 0.01–0.75, P 0.05). Among subjects with cataracts, 12.1% had vitamin C intakes of < 61 mg/day (P10) and only 2.2% had intakes of > 183 mg/day (P95) (p < 0.01). Subjects who consumed > 3290 μg/day (P95) of lutein were less likely to have cataracts (OR = 0.086; Cl: 0.007–1.084; p < 0.05) than those whose consumption was < 256 μg/day (P5). In men, high intakes of zeaxanthin seemed to provide a protective effect against the problem (OR = 0.96; Cl: 0.91–0.99; p < 0.05). The results suggest an association exists between exposure to sunlight and the development of cataracts, and that vitamin C, lutein, and zeaxanthin offer some protection against this disorder.
