ABSTRACT
Research on the influence of early eating habits on eating behaviours related to appetite using a prospective approach is scarce, especially in children. The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between changes in diet variety from 4 to 7 years of age and appetitive traits measured at 7 years of age. Participants are from the population-based birth cohort Generation XXI (2005-2006). The present analysis included 4537 children with complete data on a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) at both ages, and on the Children's Eating Behaviour Questionnaire at 7y. A healthy diet variety index (HDVI) was calculated at both ages using data from the FFQ. To assess tracking of diet variety, tertiles of HDVI scores were calculated and then re-categorized as 'maintain low', 'maintain high', 'increase' and 'decrease'. Although the HDVI score decreased from 4 to 7y (pâ¯<â¯.001), it showed a high stability, a positive predictive value, and a fair agreement. Increasing diet variety, compared to maintaining a low variety, was inversely associated with the 'Desire to Drink' (ßâ¯=â¯-0.090, 95%CI 0.174; -0.006) and 'Satiety Responsiveness' (ßâ¯=â¯-0.119, 95%CI 0.184; -0.054) subdimensions and positively with 'Enjoyment of Food' (ßâ¯=â¯0.098, 95%CI 0.023; 0.172) and 'Emotional Overeating' (ßâ¯=â¯0.073, 95%CI 0.006; 0.139). Those classified as either increase or maintain a high diet variety, in comparison with maintaining a low variety, had lower scores of 'Food Fussiness'. In conclusion, diet variety decreased from 4 to 7y with a fair tracking. Children with a higher diet variety were less fussy, had a lower desire to drink and a higher general interest in food.
