Dias, Mónica Sofia Rodrigues. « Can advergames boost children’s healthier eating habits ? : a comparison between healthy and non-healthy food ». Master's thesis, NSBE - UNL, 2011. http://hdl.handle.net/10362/10023.
Texte intégralThis research aims to investigate the effects of food advergaming on children’s eating habits. A total of 231 elementary school-age children were randomly assigned to one of the following two conditions: (i) play the healthy advergame; (ii) play the less healthy advergame. A pos-treatment pictured questionnaire was used to assess their behavior in terms of immediate food choice, food liking, and nutritional knowledge. Results showed that children tend to choose a snack accordingly to what was being advertised in the game. In terms of food liking, children who played the less healthy version of the game reported a higher preference for some of the less healthy options. Regarding nutritional knowledge no differences were registered which leads us to conclude that they already have a solid understanding of what are “good” and “bad” foods for their health. These findings have important legal, educational, management and social marketing contributions.
Sepp, Hanna. « Pre-school Children’s Food Habits and Meal Situation : Factors Influencing the Dietary Intake at Pre-school in a Swedish Municipality ». Doctoral thesis, Uppsala University, Department of Domestic Sciences, 2002. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-1750.
Texte intégralA pre-school-based dietary survey, using seven-day records, focus group interviews and semi-structured interviews, was carried out in a suburban area of Stockholm. The overall objective was to investigate the individual food and nutrient intake of pre-school children at all meals during the day, as well as factors that might influence children’s intake.
The average energy and nutrient intake per day for the whole week was satisfactory for the 109 pre-school children, but the temporal distribution throughout the day was skewed. The energy and nutrient intakes of food at the pre-school were lower than recommended. This was, however, compensated for by meals eaten at home. The children had a more varied food intake during weekdays than weekend days. This study has not provided any evidence to support the selection of water versus milk as a preferable lunch beverage in terms of pre-school children's total milk consumption and general dietary quality. However, the dietary analyses showed that there could be a reason to limit pre-school children’s daily milk and fermented milk intake to half a litre, according to the existing guidelines.
The children associated food and eating with rules and norms. They did not categorise food as good or bad, as adults often do, but as "food" and "non-food"; for example, sweets were not food. The method used in this study, the focus group interview, was judged to be a useful tool for exploring how children think about and jointly reflect upon food. The role of the teacher had changed over the past years and they had not yet found a solid ground for integrating food and meals into their everyday work.

Texte intégralHalting childhood obesity is a major priority of the European public health agenda. One of the key actions to tackle the obesity epidemic is following healthy eating habits since childhood. The objective of this dissertation is therefore to explore drivers and barriers affecting the adoption of healthy dietary patterns among children – from a behavioural and policy perspective. The scientific literature indicates family as one of the environments most prone to influence the children’s eating habits. For this reason, the first chapter explores the modelling role played by the adults within the household. Besides family, also school is a crucial setting to promote healthy eating behaviours among children. Indeed, the main European initiative to improve dietary habits takes place within schools. The positive effect of the scheme is widely recognised in the schools where implemented. However, not all schools succeed to take part in it. The objective of the second chapter is therefore to investigate the presence of potential drivers of school non-participation. The effectiveness of the implementation of the EU School Scheme is assessed at country level: “Member States shall evaluate the implementation of the scheme to assess its effectiveness against its objectives”. However, these objectives follow only in part what is suggested in the scientific literature for evaluating such kind of programs. Focusing on the Irish and Italian case study, the third chapter compares the evaluation reports carried out in the two countries with what is suggested in the scientific literature and what is demanded by the European Commission.

Texte intégralCette étude transversale a évalué l'alimentation et l'activité physique des enfants Québecois qui sont à risque d'embonpoint. Les donnés ont ete recueillies à l'aide de trois rappels de 24 heures et d'un questionnaire sur l'activité physique. Les mesures diétetiques incluent: l'énergie, les nutriements, junk food, fast food, légumes et fruits, boissons gazeuses, et boissons sucrées. Les facteurs de l'environnement familial qui influencent l'alimentation incluent: sauter le petit déjeuner, souper avec la famille, regarder la télé pendant le souper, le poids des enfants, le poids des parents, l'activité physique et les habitudes sédentaires. Les enfants qui sautent le petit déjeuner ont un apport plus faible en calcium et fibres, les filles de mères obèses consomment plus de boissons gazeuses, les garcons qui regardent la télé frequemment durant le souper ont un apport plus faible en fibres, les garcons plus sportifs ont un apport plus élevé en legumes et fruits et plus faible en junk food, les filles sportives consomment moins de matières grasses. Cette étude a éclairci les determinants de l'alimentation chez les enfants.

Texte intégralToy premiums, as well as other marketing tools, can be used to promote healthy eating habits on children. As children grow, their appreciation for healthy meals and toys decreases, however their enjoyment for collections increases. Thus, we would expect toy premiums to be ineffective or effective but to a lower extent on promoting healthy eating behaviors as children grow old. The study consisted on presenting children with one of three conditions: see an image of healthy food; see an image of a toy premium (non-collectible, collectible or superfluous collectible); or see a picture of healthy food paired with a toy premium. Afterwards, we measured children’s attitudes towards healthy food and toy premiums and their purchase intention of the healthy meal. As a result, pairing healthy food with toy premiums was not effective on promoting healthy eating behaviors, being the main reason the initial high attitude towards healthy. Additionally, no relevant differences on attitudes between younger and older children were found.

Thesis, Halmstad University, School of Social and Health Sciences (HOS), 2010. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:hh:diva-5093.
Texte intégralTidigare forskning behandlar vad och hur mycket barn äter samt hur mycket och på vilket sätt barn är fysiskt aktiva. Syftet med studien var därför att beskriva förskolepersonals syn på små barns rörelse- och matvanor samt på hur de kan stötta föräldrar till att skapa hälsosamma vanor för sina barn. Sex semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med personer som arbetat inom förskola i minst 15 år. Intervjuerna spelades in med hjälp av diktafon vartefter de transkriberades och analyserades. Resultatet kunde delas in i tre kategorier: Små barns rörelse- och matvanor på och utanför förskola, Faktorer som påverkar små barns rörelse- och matvanor samt Kommunikation som stöd till föräldrar. Informanterna ansåg att små barn främst rör på sig genom organiserade aktiviteter utanför förskola. Informanterna ansåg att små barn äter mer på förskola än utanför, vilket kan förklaras av bekanta rutiner i kombination med en positiv och social kontext. Informanterna ansåg att de kan stötta föräldrar till att skapa hälsosamma vanor för sina barn genom kommunikation, samtidigt som de försöker få föräldrar att känna sig självständiga i sin föräldraroll genom att inte påpeka vad de anser är rätt eller fel. Då det framkom att informanterna upplever att många föräldrar är osäkra i sin roll och att de anser att det påverkar små barns rörelse- och matvanor, så vore det intressant att intervjua föräldrar om deras uppfattning av hur de kan stärkas i sin föräldraroll.
Previous studies have focused on what and how much children eat and also how much and in what way children are physical active. Therefore the aim of this study was to describe preschool teachers’ view of young children’s physical activity and eating habits and of how they can support parents to create healthy habits for their children. Six semi structured interviews were conducted with persons that have been working within preschool for at least 15 years. The interviews were recorded with a dictating machine and then transcribed and analyzed. The results were divided into three categories: Young children’s physical activity and eating habits in and outside of preschool, Factors that affects young children’s physical activity and eating habits and Communication as support to parents. The informant’s believed that young children are mainly physical active through organized activities outside of preschool. The informant’s believed that young children eat more at preschool because of familiar routines and a positive and social context. The informant’s try to support parents to create healthy habits for their children by communicating with them, and at the same time they try to make parents feel independent in their role as parents by not pointing out right from wrong. Since the study showed that the informants believed that many parents are insecure in their role as parents and that it affects young children’s physical activity and eating habits, it would be interesting to interview parents about how they believe that they can be strengthened in their role as parents.

A alimentação exerce um papel fundamental no desenvolvimento do ser humano, em todas as fases da vida, mas é principalmente na infância e na adolescência que a alimentação deve ser cuidada com mais atenção. Com a expansão dos meios de comunicação e o aumento da oferta de alimentos industrializados, vem ocorrendo uma mudança nos hábitos alimentares das crianças e dos adolescentes de todo o mundo. Já se sabe que hábitos alimentares saudáveis, quando adquiridos na infância e mantidos durante a vida adulta, podem contribuir para a prevenção de doenças crônicas. Se o grupo familiar consome uma dieta equilibrada e saudável, as chances de a criança aprender bons hábitos alimentares são grandes. Por se tratar de uma atividade diária e constante, a alimentação envolve uma rotina de aprendizado. Portanto, entender o comportamento alimentar tem-se tornado essencial para a compreensão do indivíduo e sua relação com a alimentação. Diante disso, o presente estudo teve como objetivo geral descrever o estado nutricional, o hábito e o comportamento alimentar de escolares do 5° ano do Ensino Fundamental, residentes em Juiz de Fora/MG. Para atingir aos objetivos traçados, optou-se, como metodologia, por um estudo descritivo e essencialmente qualitativo. Foram aplicados, um questionário socioeconômico, um protocolo para identificação do estado nutricional (IMC/Idade), um questionário de frequência alimentar validado para crianças e uma entrevista semiestruturada, que além das características tradicionais dessa técnica de coleta de dados incluiu a apresentação de uma mesa de alimentos. A amostra foi de 96 crianças de ambos os sexos, matriculadas no 5° ano do Ensino Fundamental em uma Instituição de Ensino Federal e em uma Instituição de Ensino Estadual.Para análise dos dados, utilizou-se análise de conteúdo temática que foi quantificada com frequência e porcentagem. Pode-se observar que as crianças estudadas têm o hábito de consumir frutas com freqüência, mas, ao mesmo tempo, elas apresentam comportamentos alimentares que merecem ser investigados, pois quando apresentados os resultados acerca de como são feitas as refeições em casa e na escola, os comportamentos de assistir TV e brincar enquanto comem merecem atenção. Recomenda-se a realização de mais estudos a respeito do problema de pesquisa desta dissertação, de modo a perceber quais são os fatores que influenciam o estado nutricional, os hábitos e os comportamentos alimentares das crianças escolares em estudo.
Eating habits play a fundamental role in human development in all stages of life, but particularly during childhood and adolescence, when food should be looked after more closely. With the expansion of the media and increased supply of processed food, there has been a change in eating habits of children and teenagers worldwide. It is already known that healthy eating habits, when acquired in childhood and maintained throughout adulthood, may contribute to the prevention of chronic diseases. If the household consumes a balanced and healthy diet, there are great chances of a child learning good eating habits. Because it is a daily and constant activity, eating involves a routine of learning. Therefore, understanding eating habits has become essential for the understanding of the individual and his/her relationship to food. Therefore, this study aims to describe the general nutritional status, food habits and the behavior of 5th grade students of elementary school living in the city of Juiz de Fora, MG, Brazil . In order to achieve the objectives, a descriptive qualitative study was the chosen method of investigation. A socioeconomic questionnaire, a protocol for identification of nutritional status (BMI/Age), a food frequency questionnaire validated for children and a semistructured interview were applied. In addition to the traditional characteristics of this technique for data collection the presentation of a food chart was included. The sample consisted of 96 children of both sexes enrolled in the 5th grade of elementary school in a federal and in a state institution of education. Regarding data analysis, thematic content analysis was used, and it was quantified for frequency and percentage. One can observe that the children studied have the habit of consuming fruits frequently, but at the same time, they present eating behaviors that deserve to be investigated, due to the fact that they have meals, both at home and at school, while watching TV and playing, which deserves attention. It is recommended that further studies regarding this issue are conducted in order to understand what the factors influencing nutritional status, eating habits and behaviors of schoolchildren are.

Texte intégralThis paper describes a speech analysis of social mothers on food and meal environment offered to children and teenagers in foster shelter homes. Eleven social mothers and three managers were interviewed in three shelter homes in São Paulo City and surroundings. An analysis of the \"collective subject speech\" metodology was carried out. From this research 32 speech categories were identified in respect of food preferences, types of food, meal environment, conversation, behavior and the importance of family gathering by mealtime, the good manners upbringing, what can be done in order to improve children´s nourishment, as well as the food supplies. It could be observed from this speech that the mothers were concerned about the importance of eating together, \"all together around the table\". However, the mothers rather eat in silence than talking to with each other. The children´s plates are always served by the social mothers, what does not give them the opportunity of helping themselves and learn how to do that. Preparing a good meal and the children´s behavior outside the shelter home are part of the social mothers´concern. They try to teach them good manners so they will have no problems outside the shelter home. The nutritional status of the 108 children and teenagers from the shelter homes was also researched through the percentiles of the body mass index. The results showed 7.45% of under weight and under nutrition, as well as 21.3% of overweight and obesity. A qualitative analysis of a weekly menu showed a good frequency means for carbohydrates and proteins, however with lacking frequencies for vegetables and fruits in some of the shelter homes.

Texte intégralIntroduction: Children in Sweden have, in general, good health (Heinemans et al., 2013). There is a concern, however, that children and adolescents are becoming less physically active (Berg, 2008). On average, children and adolescents have higher intakes of energy-rich, less nutritional food and lower intakes of fruits and vegetables than is recommended (Warensjö Lemming et al., 2018). Aim: To chart the activity level and dietary habits of children and adolescents in grades 6-9. Method: The study design is a Cross-sectional study, measuring aspect of health and nutrition through a survey. A school in Västra Götaland County with grades 6 to 9 (n = 492) was the study setting, and two classes in each year were chosen to participate in the survey (n = 187). Results: Respondents' activity patterns show that 83.3 percent participated regularly in physical activity classes and were physically active during recesses. Eating breakfast every day was a habit of 58.7 percent of respondents, while 78.7 percent reported eating lunch and 69.3 percent reported eating for dinner / supper each day. Conclusion: This study has identified multiple areas where health improvements can be made, which are described in this report.

Texte intégralBACKGROUND: Obesity is one of the major risk factor for metabolic disorders, and its global prevalence has increased exponentially in the last decades. Excessive weight gained during early childhood increases long-term risk; however, reversing this condition during early-life reduces risk, improving children’s quality of life. OBJECTIVE: We hypothesized that a lifestyle intervention in obese prepubertal children would result in differential metabolic signatures, in parallel to improvements in BMI. Our aim was to determine the changes in the plasma and urine metabolomics profiles induced by the intervention. METHOD: Longitudinal prospective study of 40 obese (BMI >2 SDS) prepubertal children ages 7 to 10. The lifestyle intervention was primarily educational, focused on children and family for 6 months. We analyzed nutritional, anthropometrics and biochemical parameters before and after intervention program. Untargeted metabolomics was applied to analyze plasma samples by LC-MS and targeted metabolomics to urine samples by nuclear magnetic resonance and to obtain a comprehensive metabolic profile at baseline and after intervention. RESULTS: The intervention decreased BMI 3.55 SDS (3.30-3.79) vs 3.09 SDS (2.86-3.32), waist- circumference 83 cm (79.6-85.8) vs 81 cm (77.8-84.5), and HbA1c levels 5.4% (5.3-5.4) vs 5.2% (5.2-5.3) using 2-tails paired student t-test. After 6 month decreased calories, carbohydrates, sugars and fat intakes. Was not achieved modify the physical activity hours. In relation with plasma metabolic profile, identified 2581 features and principal component analysis was applied to consolidate them into 8 principal factors (PC). PC1 differed between pre- and post- intervention (p=0.008), and significance was maintained after adjusting for multiple comparisons; PC1 was characterized by metabolites related with sphingolipid metabolism decreasing its levels after intervention. Urine metabolomics identified 32 metabolites. Trimethylamineoxide (TMAO) levels were significantly lower after intervention (FDR q< 0.05). The change in TMAO was inversely relationated with changes in fiber intake CONCLUSION: A 6-month lifestyle intervention able to reduce BMI-SDS and change the plasma and urine metabolome. In particular, the intervention reduced ceramides levels related to metabolic diseases and TMAO levels, a major cardiovascular risk factor. Therefore, these data suggest that the lifestyle intervention improves the metabolic and cardiovascular risk profiles in prepubertal obese children.

This study aimed to explore the early childhood programs by using "Health Kingdom" as the main subject. Guided inquiry teaching model was used to explore the healthy food as well as food colors related scientific activities, and effectiveness of the children's awareness of food colors and eating habit changes were also explored afterwords. The subjects were 25 children taught by the researcher in kindergarten. Both qualitative and quantitative data were collected in this study. The main findings are as follows: 1. Science activities have a significant impact on the cognitive concept of "food color”for children. 2. From the process of science activities we found that: (1) After providing children cooking experience through scientific activities, the children’s willingness in the consumption of vegetables, fruits, and grains are greatly improved. (2) Through fruit juices making and dyeing experiment, children’s awareness of color candy, the natural colour and pigments in both natural juice and canned juice were promoted. (3) Children’s observing, comparing and operating ability were improved through scientific activities. (4) There are no significant differences in age and gender of children’s performance in six scientific activities. 3. After all scientific activities, according to the survey and observation of children’s snack eating and drinking habits, the amount of the snacks and drinks children consumed were reduced when compared with the amount they consumed before all scientific activities.

Texte intégralThis experiment has the purpose of testing and measure the influence of packaging on children consumer behavior. More specifically, we seek to evaluate the impact that packaging can have on shifting children´s snack preferences from unhealthy food towards healthier options. The study was conducted through individual questionnaires done by 106 children aged from 7 to 9 years-old. There were two distinct groups in the sample (a control group and an experimental group) that were presented with two different visual options of a food snack each – a healthy option and a non-healthy one. The difference between the two groups was the packaging form of the healthy snack that they were presented with. Both groups were presented with the same packaging form for the unhealthy option. Results show that a healthy snack is more likely to have a positive impact on packaging overall evaluation, fun perception and preference over a non-healthy snack, if it is presented in a fun packaging, in contrast to a regular one, although it does not influence the taste perception of the product. Such findings suggest that packaging can be a powerful tool that can be used as a marketing strategy to promote healthy food as well as gain market share to non-healthy products.
