目的研究儿童自我调节能量摄入的能力，并确定个体差异的食物摄入调节精度是否与儿童的人体测量措施有关。我们收集了有关父母肥胖和饮食习惯的信息，以及母亲喂养孩子的习惯。特别令人感兴趣的是母亲对子女食物摄入的控制程度。我们的目的是探讨这些变量是否可能影响儿童的能量摄入的调节。77名3-5岁的儿童参加了大学学前教育机构和他们的父母参加了这项实验。测量和主要结果儿童完成控制，两部分的膳食，用于估计他们的能力，调整食物摄入量的饮食中的热量密度的变化。饮食指数，反映了儿童的精确调节能量摄入的能力，与儿童的人体测量。这些相关性为儿童的体脂储存和他们对热量密度线索的反应之间的关系提供了证据：皮尔逊相关系数显示，体脂储存较多的儿童准确调节能量摄入的能力较低。儿童调节能量摄入能力的最佳预测因素是父母在喂养情况下的控制：母亲对孩子的食物摄入控制更多，孩子自我调节能量摄入的能力较低（r = -.67，P < .0001）。结论：这些发现表明，儿童自我控制能量摄入的发展的最佳环境是，在父母提供健康的食物选择，但允许儿童承担控制他们消耗多少。
OBJECTIVE To investigate children's ability to self-regulate energy intake and to determine whether individual differences in the precision of food intake regulation are related to children's anthropometric measures. We collected information pertaining to parental adiposity and dieting practices, as well as mothers' child-feeding practices. Of special interest was the degree of control imposed by mothers over their children's food intake. Our intent was to explore whether these variables might influence children's regulation of energy intake. SUBJECTS AND SETTING Seventy-seven 3-5-year-old children who attended a university preschool setting and their parents participated in this experiment. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS Children completed controlled, two-part meals used to estimate their ability to adjust food intake in response to changes in caloric density of the diet. An eating index, reflecting children's precision in the ability to regulate energy intake, was correlated to children's anthropometric measures. These correlations provided evidence for a relation between children's body fat stores and their responsiveness to caloric density cues: Pearson correlation coefficients revealed that children with greater body fat stores were less able to regulate energy intake accurately. The best predictor of children's ability to regulate energy intake was parental control in the feeding situation: mothers who were more controlling of their children's food intake had children who showed less ability to self-regulate energy intake (r = -.67, P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS These findings suggest that the optimal environment for children's development of self-control of energy intake is that in which parents provide healthy food choices but allow children to assume control of how much they consume.
