Factors within the family environment such as parents’ dietary habits and fruit and vegetable availability have the greatest influence on fruit and vegetable consumption by Polish children
Open accessAbstract
Objective: To identify determinants of fruit and vegetable (F&V) consumption among school-aged children. Design: A survey study was conducted in October 2010. The questionnaire contained questions concerning social and demographic data, lifestyle and dietary habits, particularly the frequency of F&V consumption, availability of F&V and knowledge about recommended amounts of F&V intake. Setting: Polish primary schools. Subjects: Children (n 1255) aged 9 years from randomly selected primary schools and their parents. Results: The children’s consumption of fruit and of vegetables was influenced by the fruit consumption and vegetable consumption of their parents (r=0·333 and r=0·273, respectively;P=0·001), parents encouraging their children to eat F&V (r=0·259 and r=0·271,r espectively;P=0·001), giving children F&V to take to school (r=0·338 and r=0·321,r espectively;P=0·001) and the availability of F&V at home (r=0·200 and r=0·296, respectively;P=0·001). Parental education influenced only the frequency of fruit consumption (r=0·074;P=0·01). A correlation between parents’ knowledge of the recommended intakes and the frequency of vegetable and fruit consumption by children was noticed (r=0·258 and r=0·192, respectively,P=0·001). Conclusions: Factors within the family environment such as parents’ dietary habits and F&V availability had the greatest influence on the F&V consumption by children. Educational activities aimed at parents are crucial to increase the consumption of F&V among children.

The Results report correlations between children’s fruit and vegetable consumption and both parents’ own consumption and their encouragement to eat these foods. The Discussion also links parental health-oriented practices to children’s consumption. The paper does not establish an association with parenting style as a broader construct. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
