Family Food Environment

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic, with its cyclical lockdown restrictions and school closures, has influenced family life. The home, work, and school environments have collided and merged to form a new normal for many families. This merging extends into the family food environment, and little is known about how families are currently navigating this landscape. The objective of the present study was to describe families’ adaptations in the family food environment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Parents participated in one of 14 virtual focus groups (conducted in English and Spanish between December 2020 and February 2021). Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyze the transcripts. Results: Forty-eight parents (81% Hispanic and SES diverse) participated. Five themes and one subtheme were identified around changes in eating habits and mealtime frequency, increases in snacking, family connectedness at mealtimes, and use of screens at meals. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the family food environment. Families shared how their eating habits have changed and that device usage increased at mealtimes. Some changes (e.g., weight gain) may have lasting health implications for both children and parents. Public health officials, pediatricians, and schools should work with families to resume healthy habits post pandemic.

Family Food Environment

In modern India, Obesity is a prevailing health condition among the youngsters. It is a state where an individual has an excess accumulation of fat in his/her body. Overeating and physical inactivity are the major purported causes of obesity. Obesity is largely affected by eating patterns, sleeping patterns, lack of exercise, addictions, etc. This study examined the relationship between personal eating habits, family & neighbourhood food environment and obesity. For the objective of the study, a survey in form of scales was randomly carried on 180 college going students aged between 18 to 25 years belonging to different economic status about their personal habits and food environment (family and neighbourhood). Demographic variables like gender, age and type of family of the respondent was also taken into account. Data was analysed and it was found that socio-economic status had a significant effect on Personal Eating Habits, Family Food Environment, Neighbourhood Food Environment and BMI. Gender had a significant effect only on BMI. Obesity was positively related to unhealthy personal eating habits and unhealthy neighbourhood food environment. Healthy Family Food Environment had a negative impact on obesity. The potential influence of psychological & social factors affecting physical inactivity on obesity warrants further study.

Multilevel Linear Regression

Considering the association between the neighborhood food environment and individual eating behaviors, this study aimed to assess the association between parents’ reported use of food facilities by their children, and parental perceived travel time to food facilities, with their children’s dietary patterns. Parents reported the use of supermarkets, full-service and fast-food restaurants, and perceived travel time to these food retailers. To assess school children’s food consumption, a previous day dietary recall was applied. Factor analysis was conducted to identify dietary patterns. To test the association between reported use and perceived travel time to food retailers and school children’s dietary patterns, we performed multilevel linear regression analyses. Parents’ reported use of supermarkets was associated with children’s higher score in the “Morning/Evening Meal” pattern. The use of full-service and fast-food restaurants was associated with children’s higher score in the “Fast Food” pattern. Higher parental perceived travel time to full-service and fast-food restaurants was associated with children’s lower score in the “Fast Food” pattern. Although the use of full-service and fast-food restaurants was associated with a less healthy dietary pattern, the perception of living further away from these food retailers may pose a barrier for the use of these facilities.
