Abstract Details

2007, MS, University of Cincinnati, Allied Health Sciences : Nutrition.
The purpose of this study was to investigate parental control of child-feeding as it relates to children’s compliance to the national dietary recommendations to lower blood cholesterol. Fifty-eight children with hypercholesterolemia participated. Prior to formal nutrition counseling, children’s dietary intake was assessed by 3-day food record. Parents completed a validated questionnaire regarding restrictive child feeding practices. Parents were categorized based on the level of restriction over child feeding (high versus low). Families were counseled by a dietitian on a Step one diet and children’s diets were assessed 3 months and 1 year later. As compared to parents who were less controlling over their children’s intake, parents who were more controlling had children who were more compliant with national dietary recommendations to lower blood cholesterol. These findings suggest that parent control over child feeding when accompanied with formal nutrition counseling may promote greater compliance to a cholesterol lowering diet in children.
