Overweight children show abnormalities in eating style, such as restrained eating and tendency toward overeating (comprising both emotional and external eating). Family surroundings play a major role in developing eating behaviors in children. We tested whether restrained eating and tendency toward overeating predicted the amount of food intake in 41 overweight children (23 girls and 18 boys) and their parents (40 mothers and 11 fathers) after receiving a preload. We further investigated with questionnaires whether there were associations between the parents' and their children's eating behavior and whether mothers' food intake predicted the amount of food consumed by children in an experimental trial. We found that neither children with restrained eating nor their mothers ate more after a preload, but children with a high tendency toward overeating ate somewhat more after receiving a preload. Further analyses showed that children's food intake in the preload paradigm was predicted by mothers' food intake. Our findings point to a familial transmission of eating styles: children eat as their primary caregivers do, even when the caregivers are not present in the laboratory.
超重儿童存在饮食方式异常，如饮食节制和暴饮暴食倾向（包括情绪性暴饮暴食和外部性暴饮暴食）。家庭环境在儿童饮食行为的形成中起着主要作用。我们测试了在摄入预负荷食物后，饮食节制和暴饮暴食倾向是否能预测41名超重儿童（23名女孩和18名男孩）及其父母（40名母亲和11名父亲）的食物摄入量。我们还通过问卷调查进一步研究了父母与孩子的饮食行为之间是否存在关联，以及在一项实验中母亲的食物摄入量是否能预测孩子的食物摄入量。我们发现，饮食节制的孩子及其母亲在摄入预负荷食物后都没有吃得更多，但暴饮暴食倾向高的孩子在摄入预负荷食物后吃得稍多一些。进一步分析表明，预负荷范式下孩子所摄入的食物量是由母亲的食物摄入量预测的。我们的研究结果表明饮食方式存在家族性传递：即使主要照顾者不在实验室，孩子也会像他们那样进食。
