目的：描述学龄前儿童家长采用不适当喂养方式的频率，以及对儿童对水果和蔬菜的偏好和摄入量 (FV) 的影响。设计：对电话访谈基线数据进行横断面分析。背景：密苏里州东南部农村地区的一个社区计划。参与者：1555 名农村家长参加 High 5 for Kids 项目。父母的平均年龄为 28.9 岁，儿童的平均年龄为 38.0 个月，52.1% 的儿童为男性。测量变量：人口统计特征； FV 的摄入量和偏好；不适当的儿童喂养方式。分析：使用 Kruskal-Wallis 检验和 Spearman 相关性检查不适当的喂养方式、对 FV 的偏好和摄入量。使用逻辑回归来评估 FV 摄入量和偏好与不适当喂养方式之间的关系。结果：越来越多的不适当喂养方式对儿童的 FV 偏好产生负面影响，但对 FV 摄入量产生积极影响。结论和影响：本研究记录了公共卫生需要制定计划，为农村家长提供有关儿童如何形成摄入模式以及如何培养儿童对健康食品的偏好和接受的信息的指导和建议。
Objective: To describe the frequency of inappropriate feeding practices used by parents of preschoolers and the impact on a child's preference for and intake of fruits and vegetables (FV).Design: Cross-sectional analysis of baseline data from a telephone interview.Setting: A community-based program in rural southeastern Missouri.Participants: 1555 rural parents participating in the High 5 for Kids project. The mean age of parents was 28.9 years, the mean age for children was 38.0 months, and 52.1% of children were male.Variables Measured: Demographic characteristics; intake and preferences for FV; inappropriate child feeding practices.Analysis: Inappropriate feeding practices, preferences for and intake of FV were examined using Kruskal-Wallis tests and Spearman's correlations. Logistic regression was used to assess the relationships between FV intake and preference and inappropriate feeding practices.Results: An increasing number of inappropriate feeding practices negatively impacted FV preference of children but positively impacted FV intake.Conclusions and implications: This study documents the public health need to develop programs that guide and advise rural parents on information about how children develop patterns of intake, and how to foster children's preferences and acceptance of healthful food.
