Retrospective Reports of Parental Feeding Practices and Current Eating Styles in Polish Adults

The role of childhood food experiences (CFEs) in determining future eating behaviors remains unclear. The aim of the study was to examine the link between CFEs and selected eating styles (ESs), i.e., intuitive (IE), restrained (ResEat) and external (ExtEat) eating, among 708 Polish adults aged 18–65...

description The role of childhood food experiences (CFEs) in determining future eating behaviors remains unclear. The aim of the study was to examine the link between CFEs and selected eating styles (ESs), i.e., intuitive (IE), restrained (ResEat) and external (ExtEat) eating, among 708 Polish adults aged 18–65 (477 women and 231 men). CFEs were measured with the Adults’ Memories of Feeding in Childhood questionnaire. Polish versions of the Intuitive Eating Scale-2 and Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire were used to assess ESs. Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare ESs scores between those with lower and higher CFEs. In the total sample, “Restrictions” and “Pressure and Food Reward” parental feeding practices favored lower IE, while “Healthy Eating Guidance” and “Monitoring” practices predisposed higher levels of IE in adulthood. “Restrictions” were found to correlate with greater chances of ResEat, whereas “Healthy Eating Guidance” was linked with lower probability of ResEat. “Pressure and Food Reward” and “Monitoring” were associated with higher score for ExtEat. “Restrictions”, “Child Control”, “Monitoring” and “Healthy Eating Guidance” practices were differently linked to ESs in women and men. The findings suggest that education programs for parents should focus on the long-term consequences of feeding practices.
