Food neophobia (FN) describes problematic fear-based avoidance/restriction of novel foods. Using the novel parent-reported Measure of Food Neophobia (MFN), the authors examined FN symptoms and impairment in 305 Salvadorian children and explored clinical correlates. Factor analysis supported the MFN's designed structure to inquire about FN symptoms and FN impairment. At least one FN symptom was observed in 91% of the sample; however, only 9% were rated as having moderate or greater impairment. Demographic variables were not associated with FN; however, FN was positively correlated with internalizing, externalizing, inattention, health anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms. Inattention symptoms and health anxiety emerged as significant predictors of FN symptoms, while FN symptoms were the only significant predictor of FN impairment. The present study supports the MFN and provides information about FN in a general population, including the prevalence of clinically significant symptoms and association with psychological domains. Continued investigation of FN is still needed.
食物恐惧症（FN）描述了基于恐惧的对新食物的回避/限制。作者使用新的父母报告的食物恐惧症测量表（MFN），研究了 305 名萨尔瓦多儿童的 FN 症状和损伤，并探讨了临床相关性。因子分析支持 MFN 的设计结构，以询问 FN 症状和 FN 损伤。在样本中，至少有 91%的人观察到了一种 FN 症状；然而，只有 9%的人被评为有中度或更大程度的损伤。人口统计学变量与 FN 无关；然而，FN 与内化、外化、注意力不集中、健康焦虑和强迫症症状呈正相关。注意力不集中症状和健康焦虑是 FN 症状的显著预测因子，而 FN 症状是 FN 损伤的唯一显著预测因子。本研究支持 MFN，并提供了一般人群中 FN 的信息，包括临床显著症状的流行率和与心理领域的关联。仍需要对 FN 进行进一步的研究。
