Abstract
The article discusses the problem of the formation of eating behavior and highlights the ways of its assessment in young children. A modern view of the role of mediators of the central nervous system and peripheral humoral factors in the regulation of appetite is presented. Environmental and social factors affecting changes in eating behavior and body weight in children of the first years of life are disclosed. The results of our own research are described in detail.
Objective: to assess the characteristics of the eating behavior of young children, taking into account the level of physical development at birth. To study the nutritional behavior of young children, a survey of 122 parents was conducted using the Child Eating Behavior Questionare (CEBQ). The questionnaire was filled out by the mother and additionally contained information on the anthropometric indicators (weight (body weight, height, body mass index) of the child and parents, duration of breastfeeding. The study included healthy full-term babies aged 13 to 36 months of life. Among the children were 73 (59.8 %) of boys and 49 (40.2 %) of girls. The influence of mother’s body weight on the eating behavior of young children was revealed. Features of the eating behavior of small for gestational age and large for gestational age babies were revealed. The effect of breastfeeding on indicators of the eating behavior of young children was assessed. Analysis and timely correction of eating behavior and the diet of children should be carried out already from infancy.
