Abstract

Objective To explore the relationship between eating behaviors of preschoolers and feeding behaviors of caregivers,so as to put forward references for cultivating children's healthy eating behavior. Methods Totally 912 caregivers of preschool children were enrolled in this study from April to July 2016,and were investigated by Chinese Preschooler's Caregiver Feeding Behavior Scale(CPCFBS) and Chinese Preschooler's Eating Behavior Questionnaire(CPEBQ). The canonical correlation analysis was performed to explore the relationships among family demographic characteristics,feeding behaviors and eating behaviors. Results Two interpretable canonical variables and structures were yielded(CRU1-V1=0.703,P<0.001; CRU2-V2=0.342,P<0.001),which could explain 16.5%,32.3% and 11.3%,20.0% of CPCFBS and CPEBQ variance respectively. According to the first canonical loadings,responsibility feeding,restricted feeding and monitored feeding showed the positive correlation with children's initiative eating ability,and weight concerns were negatively correlated with children's initiative eating ability in older children's families. According to the second canonical loadings,the positive correlation between forced feeding and children's external eating in the feeding behavior of families with lower education and lower family monthly income were mainly showed. Conclusion After controlling the characteristics of family demography,the caregivers feeding behaviors will have an important effect on children's dietary behaviors.
