Sleep duration is associated with appetitive traits in school-age years - resul...
Pereira, R; Costa, A; Warkentin, S; Vilela, S; Oliveira, ASleep may influence appetite regulation through physiological and neurocognitive pathways. However, the association between sleep and appetite in childhood has been scarcely reported, particularly using a prospective design. We aimed to test associations between sleep duration at 7 years of age (y) and appetitive traits at both 7 and 10 y. Participants are from the population-based cohort Generation XXI (Porto,...
Parental child-feeding practices at 4 years of age are associated with dietary ...
Barbosa, C; Lopes, C; Costa, A; Warkentin, S; Oliveira, ABackgroundParental child-feeding practices have been associated with child body mass index (BMI) and specific food group consumption; however, their role in the development of dietary patterns is less understood. We aim to study the association between parental child-feeding practices at 4 years old and dietary patterns at 7 years that explain BMI z-scores at age 10. MethodsParticipants were children from the G...
Patterns of Eating Behavior among 13-Year-Old Adolescents and Associated Factor...
Nakamura, I; Oliveira, A; Warkentin, S; Bruno M P M Oliveira; Poínhos, RuiEating behavior adopted during adolescence may persist into adulthood. The aims of this study were to identify eating behavior patterns among Portuguese adolescents and to explore whether groups differ in terms of early life and family characteristics, severity of depressive symptoms, and body mass index (BMI) z-score. Participants were 3601 13-year-olds enrolled in the birth cohort Generation XXI. Eating behav...
Appetitive traits and food groups consumption in school-aged children: prospect...
Ferreira, P; Warkentin, S; Oliveira, APurposeAppetite can influence children's dietary choices; however, this relationship in school-aged children is still unclear. We aimed to explore the prospective associations between child appetitive traits at age 7 and food consumption at 10 years of age.MethodsThe study included 3860 children from the Generation XXI birth cohort, recruited in 2005/2006 in Porto, Portugal. The Children's Eating Behaviour Ques...
Weight trajectories from birth to 5 years and child appetitive traits at 7 year...
Warkentin, S; Santos, AC; Oliveira, ARapid prenatal and postnatal weight gain seem to alter appetite regulation and hypothalamic functions through different pathways; however, little is known on how early life growth trajectories may influence appetitive traits in school-age. We aimed to explore the associations between weight trajectories from birth to 5 years and appetitive traits at 7. Participants were from the Generation XXI birth cohort (n 3...
Genetic and environmental contributions to variations on appetitive traits at 1...
Warkentin, S; Severo, M; Fildes, A; Oliveira, APurpose: Given the variability in adiposity despite ubiquitous exposure to obesogenic food environments, it has been suggested that individuals respond in divergent ways to the environment they live in. The food environment becomes more 'permissive' as children age; therefore, genetic predisposition for a more avid appetite can be better expressed, influencing dietary quality, energy intake and weight gain. Our...
Sugar-sweetened beverages, effects on appetite and public health strategies to ...
Costa, D; Warkentin, S; Oliveira, ASugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) consumption have been of public health concern and a target of interventions due to their high consumption and burden in health-related consequences, particularly in children and adolescents. SSBs provide high energy intake with low nutritional value and are a major contributor for added and free sugars intake of Portuguese in all age-groups, especially adolescents. Despite its ...
Acculturation, food-related and general parenting, and body weight in Chinese-A...
Gu, C; Warkentin, S; Jansen, E; Carnell, SParents' food-related and general parenting behaviors may vary according to cultural background, with consequences for child eating behavior and weight. A better understanding of food-related and general parenting behaviors adopted by Chinese-American parents, and the relationships of all of these behaviors with child weight, is essential to aid the development of culturally appropriate interventions to prevent...
Validity of the Adult Eating Behavior Questionnaire and Its Relationship with P...
Warkentin, S; Costa, A; Oliveira, AThe Adult Eating Behavior Questionnaire (AEBQ) is a tool developed in the UK, used in the investigation of appetitive traits in adults and adolescents, and later validated in a number of countries. To date, the validity of the AEBQ has not been tested on Portuguese-speaking popula-tions. The aim of this study was to validate the AEBQ in a sample of Portuguese adolescents. Participants were 4483 13-year-olds enr...
Early life exposures are associated with appetitive traits in infancy: findings...
Costa, A; Warkentin, S; Ribeiro, C; Severo, M; Ramos, E; Hetherington, M; Oliveira, APurpose To determine the stability of appetitive traits during infancy and their association with early life exposures. Methods Participants were from the BiTwin birth cohort (longitudinal study of Portuguese infants). Appetitive traits at 3 months were measured using the Baby Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (n = 347) and at 12 months with the Children’s Eating Behaviour Questionnaire for toddlers (n = 325). Sta...
