目的：确定被认为是“挑食者”的幼儿的饮食得分是否低于非挑食者，以及家庭环境和社会经济地位是否与挑食者状态和饮食得分显著相关。方法：采用不完全区组设计，随机指定时间(24、28、32或36个月)来自社会经济地位较高的(n=74)和社会经济地位较低(n=44)的高加索母亲进行两次访谈。使用训练有素的访谈者，在家中收集了6天的食物摄入量、两次关于幼儿饮食行为的问卷和一次家庭环境量表。结果：挑食者的饮食多样性(p=.03)和多样性得分(p=.009)低于非挑食者(p=.009)。与非挑食者的母亲相比，挑食者的母亲使用劝说(p=.0001)，并将孩子的饮食行为列为更有问题的(p=.0001)。结论：被母亲视为挑食者的蹒跚学步儿童的饮食多样性和多样性得分显著较低。父母需要信息和策略来增加他们幼儿可以接受的食物的数量，并制定一个合理的喂养计划。
Objective: To determine if toddlers who were considered "picky eaters" had lower dietary scores than non-picky eaters, and if family environment and socioeconomic status were significantly related to picky eater status and dietary scores.Methods: An incomplete block design provided two interviews at randomly assigned times (24, 28, 32, or 36 months) of Caucasian mothers from upper socioeconomic (n = 74) and lower socioeconomic status (n = 44). Using trained interviewers, 6 days of food intake, two administrations of a questionnaire about toddler's eating behavior, and one administration of the Family Environment Scales were collected in the home. MANOVA, discriminant function analysis, and logistic regression procedures were used to determine significant differences between picky and non-picky eater groups.Results: Picky eaters had lower dietary variety (p = .03) and diversity scores (p = .009) than non-picky eaters. Mothers of picky eaters compared to those of non-picky eaters used persuasion (p = .0001) and ranked their child's eating behaviors as more problematic (p = .0001).Conclusion: Toddlers perceived by their mothers as picky eaters had significantly lower dietary variety and diversity scores. Parents need information and strategies to increase the number of foods acceptable to their toddlers and to develop a sound feeding plan.
