Périodes et facteurs sensibles pour la formation précoce des préférences alimentaires

2015

Eating behavior is a complex, essentially learned activity critical for development and survival. It can be broken down into several components: when, how, what and how much to eat.1,2 We will mainly describe in this chapter the important periods and factors associated with the development of “what” to eat, or in other words, food preferences and choice. Other aspects relevant to the early development of eating behavior have been previously reviewed.2,3 Although it has previously been shown that food and flavor preference may be influenced by flavor exposure during the prenatal period4-6, we will focus in this chapter on the acquisition of food preferences consecutive to direct exposure of …

Détermination et transmission du goût. Importance des expériences précoces

2013

Compte tenu que les préférences et habitudes alimentaires sont acquises très précocement il est important de mieux comprendre l’impact des expériences précoces sur l’acceptation des fruits et légumes lors de la diversification alimentaire et pendant les premières années de vie. Au cours de cette présentation, des résultats d’études expérimentales ou observationnelles portant sur l’impact de l’allaitement, des pratiques de diversification (variété de l’offre, exposition répétée) et des pratiques éducatives sur l’acceptation des fruits et légumes seront présentées. La transmission des préférences alimentaires peut commencer au cours de la vie intra-utérine. Il a été montré que des nouveau-nés…

Use of added sugar, salt and fat in the first year in France and associated factors in the ELFE cohort study

2018

National audience; Background and Aims: To describe added sugar, salt and fat uses and their determinants during complementary feeding (CF) period in infants aged 3 to 10 months. Methods: Data are drawn from the ELFE study (Etude longitudinale Française depuis l'Enfance) which included >18000 infants in 2011. A frequency food questionnaire of consumption of added sugar, salt and fat was monthly completed by the mother from the 3rd to the 10th month (N=10,649). The associations between the use of each added-ingredient and (1) socio-economic characteristics and (2) infant care and feeding practices were studied with two models (the second including the factors of the first) with multivariate …

Complementary feeding: what, when and how in OPALINE mothers? Consequences on infant's food acceptance.

2012

National audience; The introduction of weaning foods is a major transition in the development of infants’ eating behavior. Previous studies showed that greater variety at the beginning of the weaning period can later influence an infant’s acceptance of new foods. The aim of the present study was to describe maternal feeding practices in the first year (breastfeeding duration, age at the initiation of weaning, variety of new foods introduced) and to study whether they impacted infants’ later acceptance of new foods in a longitudinal survey of French children’s eating behavior. Mothers (n = 203) were asked to record each food offered to their infants from the beginning of the weaning period t…

La diversité de consommation de fromages dans la petite enfance : un facteur protecteur des maladies allergiques ?

2015

Introduction Une diversité alimentaire importante et précoce a été montrée protectrice vis à vis des maladies allergiques (Roduit C. et al, JACI 2012 Jul;130(1):130-6). L'effet de la diversité de consommation de fromages, riches en microorganismes, n'a pas été étudié. Or l'exposition aux microorganismes est suspectée pour son rôle protecteur sur la survenue de maladies allergiques. Le but de notre étude était d'évaluer l'effet protecteur de la diversité de consommation de fromages vis-à-vis de maladies allergiques (MA) : allergie alimentaire (AA), dermatite atopique (DA), asthme (AS), rhinite allergique (RA) et bronchite (BR). Méthodes L'étude a porté sur 941 enfants de la cohorte PATURE (P…

Développement précoce du comportement et des préférences alimentaires

2014

Manger est essentiel pour la survie, et nous naissons équipés pour absorber des nutriments à partir des apports alimentaires. Cependant, l'alimentation ne se résume pas à cet aspect. Quoi, comment, quand, combien manger sont autant de questions qui renvoient à d'autres aspects du comportement alimentaire, auxquelles il nous faut répondre quotidiennement. Ces autres aspects du comportement alimentaire sont appris, essentiellement durant les premières années de vie [1]. Ainsi, nous avons montré que les comportements alimentaires acquis à l'âge de 2 à 3 ans étaient prédictifs des mêmes comportements observés chez le jeune adulte [2,3]. Pour cette raison, il est fondamental de savoir quand et c…

Current Insights on Early Life Nutrition and Prevention of Allergy

2020

The incidence of allergic diseases in childhood appears to have significantly increased over the last decades. Since environmental factors, including diet, have been thought to play a significant role in the development of these diseases, there is great interest in identifying prevention strategies related to early nutritional interventions. Breastfeeding is critical for the immune development of newborns and infants through immune-modulating properties and it impacts the establishment of a healthy gut microbiota. However, the evidence for a protective role of breastfeeding against the development of food allergy in childhood is controversial, and there is little evidence to support the ben…

Development of healthy eating habits early in life. Review of recent evidence and selected guidelines

2011

Encouraging healthy eating habit development early in life is a way to prevent the onset of diet-related diseases. This review focuses on the period ranging from the beginning of complementary feeding until the age of 3 years. Its first objective was to review relevant themes in the most recent literature on the development of healthy eating habits in this period. Its second objective was to evaluate to what extent international and national feeding guidelines cover these themes. Analysed guidelines included WHO, European Network for Public Health Nutrition, US and two European national guidelines (UK and France). They were evaluated using a 4-pt scale and compared. Well-covered themes in c…

Early development of hedonic and motivational aspects of eating behaviour

2015

Eating is essential for survival. However, the newborn is not an autonomous eater, and has to learn ‘how', ‘what', ‘when', and ‘how much' to eat quickly enough to ensure harmonious growth and development. In other nutritional areas, it has been shown during the past 20 years that early experiences are likely to impact long-term health outcomes. Thus, it appears fundamental to understand the early development of hedonic and motivational aspects of eating behaviour. This presentation will describe several studies conducted in our group during the past 10 years, in order to gain more knowledge about the development of what and how much children eat, in relation with food sensory and nutritiona…
