The Child Eating Behaviour Questionnaire for toddlers (CEBQ-T-Mex) and the Adult Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (AEBQ-Esp) measure appetitive traits (ATs) in children and adults, respectively, both validated for use in Spanish. ATs are inherited variations in appetite, present from birth, that are reasonably stable throughout childhood and can explain why some infants over- or undereat in response to environmental exposures. "Food approach" traits predispose to overweight while "food avoidance" traits provide protection, but little is known about the relationships between parents' and their toddler's ATs. The aim was to examine the associations between maternal and toddler appetitive traits, using the AEBQ-Esp and CEBQ-T-Mex, and to examine the associations between ATs and Body Mass Index z-scores (BMIz). Sociodemographic data and the weights and heights of mothers and toddlers (aged 12-36 months) were collected from a teaching hospital in Guadalajara, Mexico. Mothers completed both the AEBQ-Esp and the CEBQ-T-Mex. Direct correlations were found between the ATs of toddlers and their mother ( < 0.005), except for "Slowness in Eating" (SE), and only an inverse correlation was found between the "Satiety Responsiveness" (SR) of toddlers and their BMIz (r = -0.147; = 0.007). These results suggest that ATs could potentially run in families. These may be useful targets for family-wide interventions to support the development and maintenance of healthy eating behaviours in childhood.
幼儿饮食行为问卷（CEBQ-T-Mex）和成人饮食行为问卷（AEBQ-Esp）分别用于测量儿童和成人的食欲特征（ATs），二者均已在西班牙语环境中验证可用。ATs是出生时就存在的食欲方面的遗传变异，在整个童年时期相对稳定，并且可以解释为什么有些婴儿会因环境因素而过度进食或进食不足。“趋近食物”特征易导致超重，而“回避食物”特征则具有保护作用，但对于父母与幼儿的ATs之间的关系却知之甚少。本研究旨在使用AEBQ-Esp和CEBQ-T-Mex来检验母亲与幼儿食欲特征之间的关联，并检验ATs与体重指数z评分（BMIz）之间的关联。从墨西哥瓜达拉哈拉的一家教学医院收集了社会人口统计学数据以及母亲和幼儿（12至36个月大）的体重和身高信息。母亲们完成了AEBQ-Esp和CEBQ-T-Mex两份问卷。结果发现，幼儿与其母亲的ATs之间存在直接相关性（<0.005），“进食缓慢”（SE）除外，并且仅发现幼儿的“饱腹感反应”（SR）与其BMIz之间存在负相关（r = -0.147； = 0.007）。这些结果表明，ATs可能具有家族遗传性。这些可能是全家庭干预的有用目标，以支持儿童健康饮食行为的发展和维持。
