■在亚洲人群中,关于父母和儿童膳食摄入量之间关系的研究有限。这里,我们研究了日本社区皮肤类胡萝卜素水平和蔬菜摄入量的亲子关系。
研究参与者是58名6-15岁的儿童和39名使用儿童自助餐厅的监护人(父母)。使用VeggieMeter®测量皮肤类胡萝卜素水平,和蔬菜菜肴的数量(相当于一份70克)使用自填问卷进行评估。
■儿童皮肤类胡萝卜素水平的平均值(标准偏差;SD)为366.8(74.0),父母为315.0(101.4)。父母和儿童皮肤类胡萝卜素水平之间的偏相关系数,调整自助餐厅,性别,父母膳食补充剂的使用,和家庭财务状况,为0.38(P=0.02);调整吸烟状况和BMI后,呈正相关(r=0.25,P=0.14)。父母与儿童的蔬菜摄入量呈正相关(r=0.30,P=0.02)。
■这项横断面研究发现,亲子之间的蔬菜摄入量呈正相关,考虑潜在的混杂因素。然而,观察到的亲子皮肤类胡萝卜素水平之间的正相关性可能由于吸烟和肥胖等内部因素而减弱。
UNASSIGNED: Studies on the relationship between parental and child dietary intakes are limited in Asian populations. Here, we examined parent-child relationships in skin carotenoid levels and vegetable intake in a Japanese community.
UNASSIGNED: The study participants were 58 children aged 6-15 years and 39 of their guardians (parents) using children\'s cafeterias. Skin carotenoid levels were measured using the Veggie Meter®, and the number of vegetable dishes (equivalent to a serving of 70 g) was evaluated using a self-administered questionnaire.
UNASSIGNED: The mean (standard deviation; SD) skin carotenoid levels were 366.8 (74.0) in children and 315.0 (101.4) in parents. The partial correlation coefficient between parents\' and children\'s skin carotenoid levels, adjusting for cafeteria, sex, parental dietary supplement use, and household financial status, was 0.38 (P = 0.02); after adjustment for smoking status and BMI, the positive correlation was attenuated (r = 0.25, P = 0.14). A positive correlation was observed between parents\' and children\'s vegetable dish intake (r = 0.30, P = 0.02).
UNASSIGNED: This cross-sectional study identified a positive correlation between parent-child intake of vegetable dishes, accounting for potential confounders. However, the positive correlation observed between parent-child skin carotenoid levels may have been attenuated by internal factors such as smoking and obesity.
