The present review was undertaken in order to summarize and evaluate recent research investigating taste exposure, sensory learning, and nutrition education interventions for promoting vegetable intake in preschool children.
Overall, taste exposure interventions yielded the best outcomes for increasing vegetable intake in early childhood. Evidence from sensory learning strategies such as visual exposure and experiential learning also show some success. While nutrition education remains the most common approach used in preschool settings, additional elements are needed to strengthen the educational program for increasing vegetable intake. There is a substantial gap in the evidence base to promote vegetable intake in food fussy children. The present review reveals the relative importance of different intervention strategies for promoting vegetable intake. To strengthen intervention effects for improving vegetable intake in preschool children, future research could consider integrating taste exposure and sensory learning strategies with nutrition education within the preschool curriculum.
本综述旨在总结和评估最近的研究,这些研究调查了味觉暴露、感官学习和营养教育干预措施,以促进学龄前儿童摄入蔬菜。
总的来说,味觉暴露干预措施在增加幼儿蔬菜摄入量方面效果最好。来自感官学习策略(如视觉暴露和体验式学习)的证据也显示出一定的成功。虽然营养教育仍然是学龄前环境中最常用的方法,但需要额外的元素来加强教育计划,以增加蔬菜摄入量。在促进挑食儿童摄入蔬菜方面,证据基础存在很大差距。本综述揭示了不同干预策略对促进蔬菜摄入量的相对重要性。为了加强干预措施对改善学龄前儿童蔬菜摄入量的效果,未来的研究可以考虑将味觉暴露和感官学习策略与营养教育相结合,纳入学龄前课程。
