ABSTRACT
The objective of this study was to examine agreement between parental preferences and self-reported food intake in Chilean children. In 2008,152 pairs, of 8 to 13 year old schoolchildren and their parents in Santiago were surveyed. Children self-reported their frequency of consumption of foods from various food groups. Parents reported how often they preferred their children to consume foods from these same food groups. Children reported consuming more sweets, high-calorie snacks, and fruit, and fewer grains than their parents reported preferring them to consume. Girls, 10 and 11 year olds, and children who watched television and used the computer for less than 2 hours per day had dietary patterns most closely aligned with their parents' reported preferences. Children 's dietary reports generally follow parental preferences. Intervention programs should include programs that facilitate parental guidance and encourage children to make healthy food choices at home and in school.
RESUMEN
Se estudia concordancia entre preferencias de padres y auto-reporte de niños chilenos en consumo de alimentos. En 2008, se encuestaron 152 escolares ente 8 y 13 años de edad y sus padres, en Santiago, Chile. Los niños reportaron frecuencia de consumo de diferentes grupos de alimentos y los padres, frecuencia con que prefieren que sus hijos los consuman. Los niños informaron mayor consumo de dulces, colaciones altas en calorías y frutas y menor consumo de cereales, que lo declarado por sus padres. Los patrones alimentarios más estrechamente alineados con lo reportado por los padres se observan en niñas; edades entre 10 y 11 años; ver televisión y utilizar computador menos de 2 horas diarias. En general, lo reportado por niños sigue los patrones de los padres. Programas de intervención debieran incluir guía a padres y estimulo a niños para elegir opciones alimentarias saludables en el hogar y en la escuela.
