Food Intake Regulation in Healthy ChildrenHabEatWP31NCT01843712
Eating in the Absence of Hunger and Caloric Compensation in Preschool Children, Link With Parental Feeding Practices
An observational study of Food Intake Regulation in Healthy Children, run by Institut National de Recherche pour l'Agriculture, l'Alimentation et l'Environnement at 1 site in France.
Trial summary
Objectives: The aims were to measure caloric compensation (CC) and eating in the absence of hunger (EAH) in 2 to 7 year-old French children in their regular eating context and to link these measurements with individual characteristics (adiposity, age, gender) and parental feeding practices.

About this study
Official title: Study of Eating in the Absence of Hunger and of Caloric Compensation in French Children, and of Their Relationships With Parental Feeding Practices
Objectives: The aims were to measure caloric compensation (CC) and eating in the absence of hunger (EAH) in 2 to 7 year-old French children in their regular eating context and to link these measurements with individual characteristics (adiposity, age, gender) and parental feeding practices.
Design: Three consecutive weeks an identical lunch was served in four preschool canteens reaching 236 children. The first lunch was a control session. For the CC situation (week 2), thirty minutes before the lunch children were offered a preload (137 kcal). For the EAH situation (week 3), ten minutes after lunch children were exposed to palatable foods (430 kcal). Food intake was measured at the individual level. Parental eating behaviour and feeding practices were measured by questionnaires. Child's height and weight were measured by a medical doctor.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Caloric compensation measurement
In order to collect measurements of caloric compensation, children were offered a chocolate bun 30 minutes before the lunch on the second week. The food intake at lunch was recorded. We calculated if children compensated the chocolate bun, by comparing energy intake at this lunch with energy intake from the control lunch which took place on week 1.
Measured: 1 week
Control measurement of energy intake
The first week, we conducted a control lunch and recorded food intake of each child.
Measured: 1 week
Eating in the absence of hunger measurement
In order to collect the measurement of Eating in the absence of hunger, on the third week we offered palatable foods to children 10 minutes after their lunch. We recorded the energy intake from these post-meal foods.
Measured: 1 week
Secondary outcomes (1)
Parental feeding practices
Using a validated questionnaire, we collected information about parental feeding practices (Comprehensive Feeding Practices Questionnaire, Musher-Eizenman \& Holub, 2007).
Measured: One month after inclusion
