Offering children a nutritionally adequate diet is necessary but may not be sufficient to ensure dietary quality; children's food preferences are influential determinants of macronutrient intake.
Abstract
Offering children a nutritionally adequate diet is necessary but may not be sufficient to ensure dietary quality; children's food preferences are influential determinants of macronutrient intake. The association of children's fat preferences and intake with parental adiposity suggests that dietary influences may mediate familial patterns of adiposity.

The first step was a collation of items from two existing questionnaires that measure the related concepts of 'restrained eating' and 'latent obesity', to which were added items newly written to elucidate these concepts.

The results of this study confirm that parents' eating habits have an impact on the nutrient intake of their preschool children; the study furnishes indirect support for dietary-intervention programs targeting families for the primary prevention of CHD.

The modest caloric intake of these men and the lack of correlation between percent body fat and total calories suggest that calorie differences are not the major cause of the variations in obesity in these men.

306 Citations1990W. C. Miller, AK Lindeman +2 more
Diet composition may play as important a role in fat deposition as do energy intake and lack of exercise in adults, and data suggest that diet composition may be as important as exercise in determining body fat levels.

Although a battery of test stimuli may be used to identify individual and group sensory preferences for fats, relationships between sensory and dietary measures remain unclear.

227 Citations1992RC Klesges, Lisa M. Klesges +2 more
Results indicated a different pattern of predictors of weight change for men vs women, with a high dietary energy and fat intake as well as increases in total energy intake related to higher weight gain and increases in work activity levels related to decreased weight gain.

It is suggested that diet composition, independent of total energy intake, REE, and physical activity, may contribute to childhood obesity.

The results suggest that although both amount and type of dietaryFat can affect body weight and body composition, the effects of the type of fat are less than those of amount of dietary fat.

118 Citations1991TE Prewitt, D Schmeisser +6 more
Results could not be explained by changes in daily activity levels and suggest that macronutrient composition plays a role in energy requirements for weight maintenance.

112 Citations1992Eck Lh, Klesges Rc +2 more
Results suggest a pattern that may lead to increased weight gain in a high risk group as they grow older, and physical activity as similar for most levels but marginally higher for the stationary level and marginally lower in total activity in the highrisk group.

It is suggested that a greater EI in the form of fat influences total adiposity, as well as regional subcutaneous fat distribution, only when high fat consumers are compared to low fat consumers.

The data show that the average U.S. child's diet is relatively high in total and saturated fat and low in the ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fat, which deviate from current dietary recommendations for the prevention of cardiovascular diseases.

In a two-generational context, familial obesity is best demonstrated in adolescents and their parents, either reflecting years spent in common or a specific etiology for adolescent-onset obesity.

Results suggest that body composition will not be normalized with reduction of energy intake unless dietary fat is also reduced, and ATLPL activity was increased in the 45%-R group compared with baseline control rats.
