Purpose

The International Complementary Feeding Evaluation tool (ICFET) is a new tool that provides a standardised description of caregiver feeding and child eating behaviour and diet in young children. It is designed to be relevant to undernutrition in low- and-middle-income countries (LMICs) and to be valid in multiple languages. This paper aims to describe the full content of the ICFET and its performance in various settings, cross-sectionally and longitudinally.

Method

ICFETs were completed by parents of 473 children aged 6–24 months in the UK, Kenya, Pakistan, and Guatemala. Repeated ICFETs were obtained for 62 children starting treatment for moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) in Kenya and Pakistan.

Findings

Solids were started much earlier in the UK than other countries; in Kenya and Pakistan self-feeding was less, and force feeding more common than in Guatemala and the UK. In the LMIC samples only 23 % children were eating foods from 5/8 of the recommended food groups daily. In the MAM treatment centres, Avidity was low: Kenya mean Z scores (SD) −1.76 (0.9); Pakistan −2.79 (0.9); and food refusal high: Kenya 0.77 (1.3), Pakistan 1.53 (0.9) compared to healthy UK infants; both showed moderate to good stability over time (Kenya Avidity Spearman's r = 0.517, p = 0.023 Refusal r = 0.557, p = 0.013; Pakistan Avidity r = 0.959, p < 0.001; Refusal 0.462 p = 0.002), suggesting that they are capturing enduring appetitive characteristics.

Conclusions

The ICFET provides valid eating and feeding behaviour measures which track within children over time, as well as a range of useful contextual measures of diet in the complementary feeding period.

目的：国际辅食评估工具（ICFET）是一种新的工具，它提供了幼儿照顾者喂养和儿童饮食行为和饮食的标准化描述。它旨在与低收入和中等收入国家（LMICs）的营养不良相关，并以多种语言有效。本文旨在描述ICFET的全部内容及其在各种设置下的性能，横截面和纵向。方法：由来自英国、肯尼亚、巴基斯坦和危地马拉的473名6-24月龄儿童的父母完成icfet。在肯尼亚和巴基斯坦对62名开始治疗中度急性营养不良（MAM）的儿童进行了重复的icfet。研究发现：英国的固体食品起步比其他国家早得多；与危地马拉和英国相比，肯尼亚和巴基斯坦的自我喂养较少，而强迫喂养更为普遍。在低收入和中等收入国家的样本中，只有23%的儿童每天食用推荐食物组中5/8的食物。在MAM治疗中心，贪婪度较低：肯尼亚平均Z评分(SD) -1.76 (0.9)；巴基斯坦-2.79 (0.9)；拒食率高：与健康的英国婴儿相比，肯尼亚的拒食率为0.77(1.3)，巴基斯坦为1.53(0.9)，这表明他们正在捕捉持久的食欲特征；随着时间的推移，两者都表现出中等到良好的稳定性（肯尼亚的食欲斯皮尔曼r= 0.517, p= 0.023；拒绝的r= 0.557, p=0.013；巴基斯坦的食欲r=0.959, p）。结论：ICFET提供了有效的饮食和喂养行为测量，可以长期跟踪儿童，以及一系列有用的补充喂养期间饮食的背景测量。

The colour of food serves as a highly salient visual cue, helping us to assess its freshness and quality. In Experiment 1, we investigated how partial and complete (i.e., greyscale) desaturation of food images influenced explicit evaluations of perishable and preserved food items. We found that both self-reported cravings and perceived palatability decreased with decreasing image saturation, with larger effects observed for perishable food items compared to preserved ones. These results suggest that colour plays an important role in food evaluation, especially for perishable items, which may rely more heavily on visual cues of freshness. Furthermore, previous research has shown that attentional biases towards food images are eliminated when the images are grey-scaled. However, it remains unclear whether colour desaturation also affects behavioural/motivational responses, such as approach biases. To address this, we conducted Experiments 2 and 3, using a stimulus-response compatibility task to assess the influence of colour desaturation on approach behaviour towards perishable and preserved food images. Contrary to the previous findings on attentional biases, we observed robust approach biases for all food images, with no significant differences across saturation conditions or food types. Our findings suggest that while attentional biases are sensitive to low-level perceptual features, such as colour saturation, approach biases may be less influenced by variations in perceptual stimulus properties. This implies that motivational approach responses are primarily driven by learned associations with food rewards rather than basic stimulus saliency, highlighting a potential dissociation between attentional and motivational processes in healthy eaters.

食物的颜色是一个非常显著的视觉线索，帮助我们评估它的新鲜度和质量。在实验1中，我们研究了食品图像的部分和完全（即灰度）去饱和如何影响易腐和保存食品的显式评价。我们发现，自我报告的渴望和感知的适口性都随着图像饱和度的降低而降低，与保存的食品相比，易腐食品的影响更大。这些结果表明，颜色在食品评估中起着重要作用，尤其是对易腐烂的食品，这可能更多地依赖于新鲜的视觉线索。此外，先前的研究表明，当图像灰度化时，对食物图像的注意偏差被消除了。然而，尚不清楚颜色去饱和度是否也会影响行为/动机反应，如方法偏差。为了解决这个问题，我们进行了实验2和3，使用刺激-反应兼容性任务来评估颜色去饱和度对易腐和保存食品图像接近行为的影响。与之前关于注意偏差的研究结果相反，我们观察到所有食物图像的稳健方法偏差，在饱和条件或食物类型之间没有显着差异。我们的研究结果表明，虽然注意偏差对低级知觉特征（如色彩饱和度）很敏感，但方法偏差可能不太受知觉刺激特性变化的影响。这意味着动机方法反应主要是由与食物奖励的习得关联驱动的，而不是由基本的刺激显著性驱动的，这突出了健康饮食者的注意力和动机过程之间的潜在分离。

Sensory sensitivity plays a pivotal role in avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), and food disgust is widely accepted as a key factor in food avoidance across ages. However, their relationship remains unclear in ARFID in general and across its main presentations, picky eating, fear of aversive consequences, and lack of interest. Therefore, this cross-sectional study examined whether food disgust acted as a mediator of the relationship between sensory sensitivity and ARFID symptoms in children and adults. Parents and adults from the community participated in an online survey on children's and adults' sensory sensitivity, food disgust, and ARFID symptoms according to the three main presentations based on validated questionnaires. Data from 270 parents (children aged 2–17 years, 60.4% male) and 491 adults (18–73 years, 76.8% female) were analyzed. Consistently across ages, positive associations between food disgust and picky eating (medium to large effect) and fear of aversive consequences (small effect) were observed. Food disgust mediated (i.e., weakened) the association between sensory sensitivity and both picky eating (large effect) and fear of aversive consequences (small effect), but did not mediate this association for lack of interest. The results showed that different etiological mechanisms may play a role in the main presentations of ARFID. Food disgust was found to be particularly relevant for ARFID-picky eating in both children and adults, but was less relevant for ARFID-fear of aversive consequences and ARFID-lack of interest. Longitudinal studies are needed to explore the directionality between sensory sensitivity, food disgust, and ARFID symptoms. Addressing food disgust in therapeutic approaches for ARFID warrants further investigation.

感觉敏感性在回避/限制性食物摄入障碍（ARFID）中起着关键作用，而食物厌恶被广泛认为是各年龄段食物回避的关键因素。然而，在ARFID中，它们之间的关系仍然不清楚，在其主要表现中，挑食，害怕不良后果，缺乏兴趣。因此，本横断面研究考察了食物厌恶是否在儿童和成人的感觉敏感性和ARFID症状之间的关系中起中介作用。来自社区的家长和成年人参与了一项关于儿童和成人的感官敏感性、食物厌恶和ARFID症状的在线调查，根据基于有效问卷的三种主要表现。分析了270名家长（2-17岁儿童，60%为男性）和491名成年人（18-73岁，77%为女性）的数据。在不同的年龄，食物厌恶和挑食（中等到大的影响）以及对不良后果的恐惧（小的影响）之间的正相关关系一直被观察到。食物厌恶介导（即削弱）感觉敏感性与挑食（大影响）和对厌恶后果的恐惧（小影响）之间的联系，但没有介导缺乏兴趣的这种联系。不同的病因机制可能在ARFID的主要表现中发挥作用。研究发现，食物厌恶与儿童和成人的arfid挑食特别相关，但与arfid -对厌恶后果的恐惧和arfid -缺乏兴趣的相关性较低。需要纵向研究来探索感觉敏感性、食物厌恶和ARFID症状之间的方向性。在ARFID的治疗方法中解决食物厌恶需要进一步的研究。

Recent research shows that parents of young children use both supportive and unsupportive food parenting practices daily, challenging assumptions that they rely on a single approach. The current study used cluster analysis to: 1) characterize approaches to feeding children that take into consideration a wide range of food parenting practices, and 2) explore patterns in how parents vary their approach across eating occasions. Parents (n = 252) reported food parenting practices used at each eating occasion (n = 6281 total) shared with their preschooler (aged 3–5 years) over multiple days (Mean: 9.23 days, SD: 9.23). Practices were categorized into four higher-order domains: structure, autonomy support, coercive control, and indulgent. Agglomerative hierarchical clustering identified clusters at both the parent and eating occasion-levels. At the parent level, four distinct clusters emerged, primarily differentiated by overall engagement and specific practice use. At the eating occasion-level, four distinct approaches were identified, with engagement level and eating occasion-specific practices driving these differences. Parents exhibited considerable variability in feeding approaches across days and meals. Findings suggest that while most parents use a broad range of practices across all four higher-order domains, they can be categorized into clusters based on type and amount of practices used. Eating occasion-level approaches were also distinct, shaped by engagement level and specific practices. The evidence that parents shift between eating occasion clusters over time supports the idea that food parenting is responsive to context. Future research should examine the longitudinal impact of these fluctuations on child outcomes.

最近的研究表明，幼儿的父母每天都会使用支持性和非支持性的食物育儿方法，这挑战了他们依赖单一方法的假设。目前的研究使用聚类分析来：1)描述喂养儿童的方法，考虑到广泛的食物育儿实践；2)探索父母如何在不同的饮食场合改变他们的方法。家长（n=252）报告了他们与学龄前儿童（3-5岁）在多天（平均：9.23天，标准差：9.23天）分享的每次进食场合（n= 6281）的食物育儿方法。实践被分为四个高阶领域：结构、自主支持、强制控制和放纵。聚集的层次聚类确定了父母和饮食场合水平的聚类。在家长层面，出现了四个不同的集群，主要是通过整体参与和具体实践使用来区分的。在饮食场合层面，确定了四种不同的方法，参与水平和特定饮食场合的做法推动了这些差异。父母在不同的喂养方式上表现出相当大的差异。研究结果表明，虽然大多数父母在所有四个高阶领域使用广泛的实践，但他们可以根据所使用的实践的类型和数量进行分类。饮食场合层面的方法也不同，受参与程度和具体做法的影响。有证据表明，随着时间的推移，父母会在不同的饮食场合之间转换，这支持了食物养育是对环境的反应。未来的研究应该检查这些波动对儿童结局的纵向影响。

There is growing interest in school-provided meal offerings in Australia. As a key stakeholder, it is important to understand Australian parent/caregiver preferences for such an offering. This study aimed to investigate parent interest and preferences in a school-provided meal offering for Australian primary schools. An online survey incorporating a discrete choice experiment was administered to parents of primary school-aged children across Australia. The discrete choice experiment involved 12 choice tasks, where parents were required to choose between two hypothetical school-provided lunch offerings. Six attributes with varying levels were used to describe the choice options: cost, nutrition and quality, environmental sustainability, access, menu options, and the school approach to food. A d-efficient design was constructed, with data analysed using multinomial logit models and the Krinsky and Robb method to calculate willingness to pay. The final sample consisted of 383 participants, predominantly women (90 %). A majority expressed interest in school-provided meals (93 %). The most significant influence on parent choice was nutrition and quality (β = 0.71), followed by menu options (β = 0.47), environmental sustainability (β = 0.35), and a whole-school approach to food (β = 0.28). A negative cost coefficient indicated a preference for lower-cost options. Parents were willing to pay for enhancements indicating the attributes were financially valued by parents. Results demonstrate Australian parent support for comprehensively designed and delivered school-provided lunches, aligned with their preferences. Parental preferences should be considered in system design, alongside other stakeholder perspectives, to achieve an acceptable and financially equitable school-provided meal system in Australia.

在澳大利亚，人们对学校提供的伙食越来越感兴趣。作为一个关键的利益相关者，了解澳大利亚父母/照顾者对这种产品的偏好是很重要的。本研究旨在调查家长对澳大利亚小学学校提供的膳食的兴趣和偏好。一项包含离散选择实验的在线调查对澳大利亚各地的小学学龄儿童的父母进行了调查。离散选择实验包括12项选择任务，要求家长在两种假想的学校提供的午餐中做出选择。六个不同层次的属性被用来描述选择选项：成本、营养和质量、环境可持续性、获取途径、菜单选项和学校对食物的态度。构建了d-efficient设计，并使用多项logit模型和Krinsky和Robb方法对数据进行分析，以计算支付意愿。最终的样本包括383名参与者，主要是女性（90%）。大多数学生表示对学校提供的膳食感兴趣（93%）。影响家长选择的最显著因素是营养和质量（β=0.71），其次是菜单选择（β=0.47）、环境可持续性（β=0.35）和全校用餐方式（β=0.28）。负成本系数表示更倾向于低成本的选择。父母愿意为增强功能付费，这表明父母在经济上重视这些属性。结果表明，澳大利亚家长支持根据他们的喜好，全面设计和提供学校提供的午餐。在系统设计中应考虑家长的偏好，以及其他利益相关者的观点，以实现澳大利亚可接受和财政公平的学校供餐系统。

Dietary decisions involve the consideration of multiple, often conflicting, food attributes that precede the computation of an overall value for a food. The differences in the speed at which attributes are processed play an important role; however, it is unknown whether different attributes are processed over distinct time windows. We mapped the neural time-courses of 12 choice-relevant food attributes. Participants (N = 110) viewed food images while we recorded brain activity using electroencephalography (EEG). A separate group of participants (N = 421) rated the same images on nutritive properties (healthiness, calorie content, edibility, and level of transformation), hedonic properties (tastiness, willingness to eat, negative and positive valence, and arousal), and familiarity (previous exposure, recognisability, and typicality). Using representational similarity analysis, we quantified differences in patterns of multivariate EEG signals across foods and assessed whether the structure of these differences was correlated with differences in attribute ratings. We observed similar correlation time-courses for many attributes. There was an early window of correlations (∼200 ms from image onset), followed by sustained windows of correlation from ∼400 to 650 ms. Using principal component analysis, we identified a set of broader constructs that accounted for variance in ratings across multiple attributes, and were also correlated with the EEG data. Our results indicate that food attributes important for choice are represented rapidly and in parallel, over similar time windows. Furthermore, we reveal that broad dimensions underlying individual attributes are also represented in the neural activity with distinct time-courses, indicating a multilevel structure of food attribute representations.

饮食决定涉及在计算食物的总体价值之前考虑多种经常相互冲突的食物属性。属性处理速度的差异起着重要作用；然而，是否在不同的时间窗口内处理不同的属性是未知的。我们绘制了12种与选择相关的食物属性的神经时间过程。参与者（N = 110）观看食物图像，同时我们使用脑电图（EEG）记录大脑活动。另一组参与者（N = 421）对相同的图片在营养特性（健康、卡路里含量、可食性和转化水平）、享乐特性（美味、吃的意愿、消极和积极的效价以及唤醒）和熟悉度（以前的接触、可识别性和典型性）方面进行了评分。采用代表性相似性分析，我们量化了不同食物的多变量脑电图信号模式的差异，并评估了这些差异的结构是否与属性评级的差异相关。我们观察到许多属性的相关时间过程相似。有一个早期的相关窗口期（从图像开始到200 ms），随后是持续的相关窗口期（400-650 ms）。使用主成分分析，我们确定了一组更广泛的结构，这些结构可以解释多个属性之间评级的差异，并且还与EEG数据相关。我们的研究结果表明，对于选择重要的食物属性是在相似的时间窗口内快速并行地表示的。此外，我们还发现，个体属性的广义维度在神经活动中也具有不同的时间过程，表明食物属性表征具有多层次结构。

This study examined the relationship between food insecurity, intuitive eating, and body mass index among adults. This cross-sectional study was conducted through face-to-face interviews between January and March 2025 at a public university in Türkiye, involving 1166 students and personnel (65.7 % women; age range: 19–64 years). Participants answered the Food Insecurity Experience Scale and the Intuitive Eating Scale-2, which has four subdimensions: unconditional permission to eat, eating for physical rather than emotional reasons, reliance on hunger and satiety cues, and body-food choice congruence. Self-reported body weight and height were collected to calculate body mass index. Food insecurity was experienced by 42.7 % of participants. It was associated with lower total Intuitive Eating Scale-2, reliance on hunger and satiety cues, body-food choice congruence (controlled for sex, institutional role, and age), and eating for physical rather than emotional reasons (controlled for sex and institutional role) scores. Sex was not a moderator of the association between food insecurity and intuitive eating. There were no significant interactions between Intuitive Eating Scale-2 total and subdimensions and food security status for body mass index. Overall, our study provides empirical evidence that food insecurity is a significant factor that contributes to low levels of intuitive eating in a large sample of Turkish adults. Further studies should investigate the moderating effect of sex on the association between food insecurity and intuitive eating, while also emphasizing the role of food insecurity in the relationship between intuitive eating habits and body mass index in different populations.

这项研究调查了成年人食物不安全、直觉饮食和体重指数之间的关系。这项横断面研究于2025年1月至3月在基耶省一所公立大学通过面对面访谈进行，涉及1166名学生和工作人员（65.7%为女性，年龄范围：19-64岁）。参与者回答了食物不安全体验量表和直觉饮食量表-2，该量表有四个子维度：无条件允许进食，出于身体而非情感原因进食，对饥饿和饱腹感的依赖，以及身体食物选择的一致性。收集自我报告的体重和身高，计算体重指数。42.7%的参与者经历了粮食不安全。它与较低的直觉进食量表-2总分、对饥饿和饱腹感线索的依赖、身体-食物选择一致性（受性别、机构角色和年龄控制）以及出于身体原因而非情感原因（受性别和机构角色控制）的进食有关。在食物不安全和直觉性饮食之间，性并不是调节因素。直观饮食量表-2总维度和子维度与体重指数食品安全状况无显著交互作用。总的来说，我们的研究提供了经验证据，表明粮食不安全是导致大量土耳其成年人直觉饮食水平低的一个重要因素。进一步的研究应探讨性别对食物不安全与直觉性饮食之间关系的调节作用，同时强调食物不安全在不同人群直觉性饮食习惯与体重指数之间的关系中的作用。

Night Eating Syndrome (NES) was characterized by morning anorexia, evening hyperphagia, and insomnia, and was considered to be a response to stress that harms both physical and mental health. The present study utilized the Night Eating Questionnaire (NEQ), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), the Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (CERQ), and the Chinese Big Five Personality Inventory brief version-15 (CBF-PI-B-15) to explore how perceived stress relates to night eating behavior and the role of cognitive emotion regulation and personality traits in this process. Key findings revealed that perceived stress significantly predicted increased night eating behavior (β = 0.392,p < 0.01), with maladaptive cognitive emotion regulation strategies mediating this relationship (indirect effect = 0.264, 95 %CI = [0.198,0.334]). Notably, the extraversion dimension of personality demonstrated a negative moderating effect between maladaptive cognitive regulation and night eating behavior (β = −0.422, p < 0.05). Network analysis identified catastrophizing (strength = 1.107; closeness = 0.022) and perceived tension (strength = 1.054; closeness = 0.020) as central nodes in this network. The association between perceived stress and night eating behavior primarily manifested through catastrophizing and other-blame dimensions of maladaptive strategies. These findings suggest that individuals with heightened stress perception tend to employ maladaptive cognitive strategies, subsequently increasing night eating behavior. Importantly, extraversion became a protective personality factor that weakened the association between maladaptive regulation strategies and night eating behaviors.

We sought to investigate the association between participating in multiple nutrition assistance programs – including the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), Pandemic Electronic Benefit Transfer (P-EBT), and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) – and child dietary intake frequencies early during the COVID-19 pandemic among WIC-participating children 12–59 months of age. Data from the 2020 Los Angeles County WIC Survey, conducted July–December 2020 among a random sample of WIC-participating families in Los Angeles County, including child diet intake frequencies (servings/day or times/day) as reported by their mothers for sugar sweetened beverages (SSBs), 100 % juice, milk, water, sweets, fruits, and vegetables (outcomes); participation in WIC, P-EBT, and SNAP (exposure); and child, maternal, and household covariates (n = 3563). We fitted covariate-adjusted Poisson regression (for water, milk, fruits, vegetables) or negative binomial regression (for SSBs, sweets). Compared to WIC-participating children in WIC-only households: 1) WIC-participating children in WIC + SNAP (pre-pandemic enrollment) households consumed 100 % juice more frequently (incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 1.12, 95 % confidence interval [CI] = 1.01–1.24); 2) WIC-participating children in WIC + P-EBT households consumed fruits less frequently (IRR = 0.94, 95 % CI = 0.90–0.99); 3) WIC-participating children in WIC + P-EBT + SNAP (during pandemic enrollment) households consumed milk more frequently (IRR = 1.13, 95 % CI = 1.05–1.21); and 4) WIC-participating children in WIC + P-EBT + SNAP (pre-pandemic enrollment) households consumed SSBs (IRR = 1.25, 95 % CI = 1.07–1.47), sweets (IRR = 1.11, 95 % CI=>1.00–1.22), and milk (IRR = 1.08, 95 % CI = 1.02–1.15) more frequently, and water (IRR = 0.94, 95 % CI = 0.89-<1.00) and fruits (IRR = 0.95, 95 % CI = 0.90–0.99) less frequently. Enhanced nutrition education may be needed for WIC-participating children who live in households participating in multiple nutrition assistance programs since they consumed foods discouraged by WIC (SSBs, sweets) more frequently and foods encouraged by WIC (fruits) less frequently, when compared to WIC-participating children in WIC-only households.

我们试图调查参与多种营养援助计划（包括妇女、婴儿和儿童特殊补充营养计划（WIC）、大流行电子福利转移（P-EBT）和补充营养援助计划（SNAP））与参与WIC的12-59个月大的儿童在COVID-19大流行期间早期饮食摄入频率之间的关系。2020年洛杉矶县WIC调查的数据，于2020年7月至12月在洛杉矶县WIC参与家庭的随机样本中进行，包括其母亲报告的儿童饮食摄入频率（份数/天或次数/天），含糖饮料（SSBs）， 100%果汁，牛奶，水，糖果，水果和蔬菜（结果）；参与WIC， P-EBT和SNAP（暴露）；儿童、母亲和家庭协变量（n=3,563）。我们拟合了协变量调整的泊松回归（水、牛奶、水果、蔬菜）或负二项回归（ssb、糖果）。与仅参加WIC的家庭中参加WIC的儿童相比：1)WIC + SNAP（大流行前入组）家庭中参加WIC的儿童饮用100%果汁的频率更高（发病率比[IRR]=1.12, 95%可信区间[CI]=1.01-1.24）；2) WIC + P-EBT家庭参与WIC的儿童食用水果的频率较低（IRR=0.94, 95%CI=0.90-0.99）；3) WIC + P-EBT + SNAP（在大流行登记期间）家庭中参与WIC的儿童饮用牛奶的频率更高（IRR=1.13, 95%CI=1.05 ~ 1.21）；4) WIC + P-EBT + SNAP（大流行前登记）家庭参与WIC的儿童更频繁地食用ssb （IRR=1.25, 95%CI=1.07-1.47）、糖果（IRR=1.11, 95%CI= 1.00-1.22）、牛奶（IRR=1.08, 95%CI=1.02- 1.15）和水（IRR=0.94, 95%CI=0.89-）
