DIAS, Inês; TEIXEIRA, Beatriz e AFONSO, Cláudia. PREGNANCY AND EARLY LIFE FACTORS' INFLUENCE ON CHILDHOOD APPETITE BEHAVIORS: A NARRATIVE REVIEW. Acta Port Nutr [online]. 2024, n.36, pp.46-53. Epub 06-Out-2024. ISSN 2183-5985. https://doi.org/10.21011/apn.2024.3608.
The various early life factors have been associated with appetite behaviors in children. Furthermore, a relationship between these behaviors and childhood body weight development has been observed. Therefore, it is of utmost relevance to investigate how early life factors may be related to appetite behaviors at a young age. In order to achieve this objective, research was conducted using the Medline (Pubmed) and ScienceDirect databases between the months of January and June 2022. According to the literature analysis conducted, it was understood that maternal characteristics during pregnancy, child's characteristics at birth, and dietary habits during the first year of life have been linked to various appetite behaviors. There is a greater tendency for "food approach" behaviors to be associated with a higher risk of childhood overweight, which may extend into adulthood. Evaluating appetite behaviors in childhood and their potential association with early life factors is of great importance in understanding the best strategies for planning or modifying future interventions effectively and purposefully, to promote healthier eating behaviors and, consequently, the health and well-being of individuals.
