Study Notes
Eating with Others
- Eating with others can have a significant impact on food consumption.
Obesity Rates
- Population groups with the highest poverty rates have the highest rates of obesity.
Media Influence
- Media is not a significant source of food and nutrition information for people.
Food Choice and Motives
- The term that encompasses food choice and motives, feeding practices, dieting, and eating-related problems is eating behavior.
Food Environments
- Food environments are influenced by physical, social, economic, cultural, and political factors.
Human Development
- The periods of human development over the lifespan are: prenatal (conception to birth), infancy and toddlerhood (birth to 2 years old), early childhood (2 years old to 6 years old), and all of the above.
Genetic Factors
- Genetic regions associated with taste, sensory, satiety are factors influencing eating behavior.
Food Deserts
- Food deserts are characterized by insufficient availability of healthy foods, particularly fruits and vegetables.
School Food Environment
- Unhealthy foods and beverages were readily available, affordable, and desirable in many school settings.
Older Adults
- Older adults experience a decline in appetite, taste, and smell leading to decreased food intake, poor food palatability, and potential failure to develop sensory specific satiety.
Stages of Human Development
- The stages of human development with their age range are:
- Infancy and toddlerhood: birth to 2 years old
- Early childhood: 2 years old to 6 years old
- Adolescence: onset of puberty to 18 years old
Rural vs. Urban Areas
- Rural areas had poorer mean intake of fruits and vegetables compared to urban areas.
Eating Behavior
- Eating behavior encompasses food choice and motives, feeding practices, dieting, and food-induced disorders.
Food Preference Shift
- Typically, 8-10 exposures are necessary before a food preference shift in children.
Developmental Model of Eating Behavior
- The developmental model of eating behavior focuses on learning through exposure, social learning, and associative learning.
Cognition and Food Choice
- The cognition model of food choice explores the extent to which cognition predicts and explains behavior.
Personal Dietary Choices
- Some personal dietary choices that influence human health are food choices, motives, and feeding practices.
Taste Preferences
- We are born with unlearned biological predispositions towards liking sweet tastes.
- Liking for salt develops right after birth.
- Umami is related to savory tastes.
Meal Size and Variety
- Greater variety of food stimulates bigger meal size and greater food intake due to nutrient-specific satiety.
Food Acceptance
- Factors that influence food acceptance are conditioned food preferences and aversions, physiological conditioning, and social-affective context and parenting practices.
Eating Behavior Influencers
- Factors that influence eating behavior are physiological, social, economic, cultural, and political factors.
Food Environment and Health
- The built environment in relation to food and physical activity has important impacts on health.
Healthy Food Environment
- A healthy food environment inside and around schools refers to spaces, infrastructure, conditions, nutritional content of foods, information availability, marketing, pricing, etc.
School-Based Food and Nutrition Education
- School-based food and nutrition education actively involves all people that interact in the school setting.
Home-Grown School Feeding Approach
- The main goal of the Home-Grown School Feeding approach is to promote healthier food patterns.
Home Food Environment
- The availability and accessibility of nutrient-dense foods in the home environment increase the likelihood of children choosing to eat obesity-protective foods.
- Parents can influence children's eating patterns by role modeling and making healthy food choices available.
Food Availability and Consumption
- High availability of obesity risk-factor foods predict higher consumption according to the content.
- Stockpiling of foods in the home may decrease consumption for preferred and convenient products.
Home Environment and Eating Patterns
- Children's eating patterns are strongly influenced by their environmental characteristics.
- The home environment plays a role in influencing childhood obesity risk.
Home Environment Elements
- Some elements of the home environment that impact eating and activity-related behaviors, especially for children, are availability and accessibility of foods, parental role modeling, and peer influence.
Impacts of Food Availability
- The availability of foods in the home can promote eating behaviors, increase intake of high calorie and high sugary snacks/beverages, and decrease energy expenditure.
Family Socioeconomic Status
- Family socioeconomic status has an influence on dietary habits and obesity.
Parenting Styles
- Authoritative parenting styles are warm, firm, and accepting of children's needs for autonomy, set limits based on reasoning.
- Authoritarian parenting styles are firm but not warm, set rigid limits, and employ punitive actions.
