The relationships are explored between food choices of school-aged children and eating in the bedroom, while watching television, or in front of the computer.
Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire that 534 subjects completed in class. Participants were ten- to 12-year-old children from Québec.
Significant positive correlations were found between the act of eating in the bedroom and eating in front of the television or the computer (p<0.05). Significant positive correlations were also found between eating in the bedroom, or eating in front of the television or the computer, and the consumption of low-density food, foods high in sugar and fat, and foods low in fibre (p<0.05). Data also revealed more negative food habits for boys than for girls (p<0.05).
Because of the prevalence of childhood obesity, these findings support the need to document children's food consumption patterns and gender differences.
探讨学龄儿童的食物选择与在卧室进食、看电视时进食或在电脑前进食之间的关系。
使用一份自我管理的问卷收集数据，534名受试者在课堂上完成了该问卷。参与者为来自魁北克的10至12岁儿童。
发现在卧室进食与在电视或电脑前进食之间存在显著正相关（p<0.05）。在卧室进食、在电视或电脑前进食与低密度食物、高糖高脂肪食物以及低纤维食物的消费之间也存在显著正相关（p<0.05）。数据还显示，男孩的不良饮食习惯比女孩更多（p<0.05）。
由于儿童肥胖问题普遍存在，这些发现支持记录儿童食物消费模式和性别差异的必要性。
