Abstract

This study sought to investigate the association between the food literacy (FL) of children and mothers, and the maternalfeeding style. Study subjects were mothers (n=400) with children in the 4th to 6th grades of elementary school and whowere the primary caregivers for their children (n=400). The responses to the Caregiver’s Feeding Styles Questionnaire(CFSQ) were obtained from mothers. Both mothers and children completed the questionnaire for socio-demographics,dietary habits, health status, and food literacy. The high demanding/high responsive feeding style was associated withincreased meal frequency for both mothers and children. The low demanding/low responsive feeding style was significantlyassociated with a lower mother’s FL after accounting for confounding factors. The low demanding feeding styles wereassociated with the child’s lower FL after adjustments for the age, sex, weight status of the child and the age, householdincome, and education of the mother. However, this association was not seen after making an additional adjustment for themother’s FL. These results suggest that the caregiver’s feeding style may affect the dietary habits and FL of both mother andchild.
