It is known that obesity is a multifactorial
disease characterized by an excessive increase
of body fat having a detrimental effect on
the health of the individual with a significant
loss in quantity and quality of life1 It is
noticed that some cases of obesity are of
endogenous origin associated with hormonal
genetic or syndromic disorders such as
hypothyroidism Cushings syndrome growth
hormone deficiency defective leptin
signaling mutations at the melanocortin 4
receptor and the Prader-Willi and Bardet-
Biedl syndromes however most cases are of
exogenous origin due to the positive energy
balance2
Childhood obesity is a serious public health
problem of contemporary times It is
estimated by the World Health Organization
that 41 million children under five and more
than 340 million children and adolescents
aged five to 19 years were overweight or
obese in 2016 3 Recent research by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) conducted in the United States showed
that 121 of children between two and five
years of age and 180 between six and
eleven were obese4 It is inferred that in
Brazil according to the Family Budget Survey
(FBS) (2008-2009) one in three children aged
five to nine years were overweight with
514 of the boys and 438 of the girls 5
and of Brazilian children aged five to ten
years accompanied by SISVAN 284 are
overweight6
It is believed that overweight or obese
children who remain in this condition
throughout development tend to become
adults with neurometabolic and endocrine
complications as well as predisposition to the
metabolic syndrome cardiovascular diseases
such as dyslipidemia hyperinsulinemia
increased blood pressure and autonomic
dysfunction17-8 These children are often
presented with socialization difficulties and
they face suffering due to the stigmatization
of obesity reflecting in low self-esteem and
behavioral disorder characterizing bullying9
In addition to the genetic factor it
contributes to weight gain and body fat
which also predispose the environmental
factors to obesity and among them the
sedentary lifestyle and inadequate eating
habits 10-1 such as excessive exposure to
ultraprocessed foods and with low nutritional
value
Children of different socioeconomic levels
and places of housing have been reached
today either in urban or rural areas12 It is
observed that although in the countryside
the familys work practices involve planting
and the harvest favoring physical exercise
and access to in natura food an increase in
the consumption of processed products and
sedentary practices among children and their
families13-5
It is also believed that children acquire
their eating habits and lifestyle in the family
especially with the mother thus maternal
nutritional status and eating habits may
constitute risk factors for childhood obesity
In fact investigations have been carried out in
urban areas in order to verify this relationship
showing that maternal overweight and their
habits of life can be associated with higher
levels of BMI of the children16-7
One can certainly contribute to this
increase in the prevalence of overweight
among children also in rural settings18-9 and
considering the implications of obesity on
childrens health it is pertinent to deepen the
knowledge about the subject and seek
evidence about this causal relationship In this
research we sought to answer the question
Can nutritional status and maternal eating
habits determine the overweight of rural
children
Through the findings of this study a better
understanding of factors that may affect the
dietary intake patterns and the nutritional
status of the children will be possible and may
produce useful information for the
development of effective intervention
programs to promote healthy eating in
childhood especially in the family
environment
bull To evaluate the association and similarity
between nutritional status and dietary intake
of children and their mothers in rural areas
An integrative literature review was carried
out consisting of a scientific investigation
with the objective of gathering critically
evaluating and conducting a synthesis of the
results of several primary studies generating

Literature Analysis and Retrieval System
Online) LILACS (Latin American and
Caribbean Health Sciences Literature) and
Cochrane Central (Register of Controlled
Trials) merging the following terms from the

The following inclusion criteria were
considered all types of studies published in
the last ten years published between January
2007 and December 2016 with a population
between five and ten years of age The
chronological period for the inclusion of the
studies in order to investigate the most up-to-
date data on the subject was defined The age
group is justified because it is a phase with an
accelerated ascendancy of excess weight in
addition this group has peculiar
characteristics in the pattern of growth and
diagnostic criteria5 The data was collected
from March to November 2017 The studies
were selected by two reviewers
independently The studies were at first
tested by the reading of titles and abstracts
and in the event of disagreement between
them it was decided in plenary for the
moment to read the whole article and then it
was defined on the inclusion of the
manuscript The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting
Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-
Analyzes) protocol 21 was followed for the
identification selection eligibility and
inclusion of studies
In the next phase the selected studies
were read in full and simultaneously a
standardized and structured instrument was
used to collect data from each article in
order to systematize the relevant information
as well as to classify the level of scientific
evidence according to the categorization of
the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ)22
A total of 29 articles were selected for
reading in full After reading 13 articles were
excluded because they did not respond to the
research question or because the age group
was in disagreement with that defined in the
inclusion criteria (Figure 1)

Included in this review were 16 articles
that answered the question of the study of
which 12 are of cross-sectional design three
cohort and one systematic review It should
be emphasized that there is great variability
of the instruments and references used to
evaluate the nutritional status and eating
habits in the evaluated manuscripts It was
also found that the type of analysis of the
relationship between study variables is
heterogeneous (Figure 2)

varying from 116 to 84 among mothers and
from 216 to 51 among the children It is
mentioned that three studies did not present
the prevalence of overweight obesity of the
children evaluated242733 In one the mean Z
score for BMI age was 042 plusmn 119 for girls
and 073 plusmn 118 for boys33 It was shown in
two other studies that the average BMI was
202 plusmn 01 27 and another 192 plusmn 41 for public
school children and 191 plusmn 32 for private
school children24 Data on the dietary intake of
children in eleven studies were evaluated 23-
427-3336-7 but only eight of them evaluated
parental feeding and compared the
consumption of mother-infant dyads2831-2 and
also father-son2427293337
The questionnaires used to collect data
between the studies were differed It is
noticed that some authors30 used QUADA
version 3 which consists of an illustrated
questionnaire referring to the food
consumption of the previous day in a
qualitative way others32 used four questions
extracted from the Infant Feeding
Questionnaire and focused on maternal
behavior regarding the childs diet and two
questions regarding the frequency with which
the child had ingested non-alcoholic sugary
drinks in the last month Some authors have
used validated semiquantitative food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) Australian
Eating Survey (AES) for adults and Australian
Child and Adolescent Eating Survey (ACAES)
for children3336 others used the 24-hour food
recall 272931 as well as some authors who
used a structured questionnaire with
questions about the eating habits of children
and parents24 another group of authors used a
questionnaire on the consumption of fruit
vegetables and sugary drinks 28 and the
studies included in the review29 used FFQs and
or 24-hour food recall
t is exposed from the studies found in this
review that only two 2837 simultaneously
evaluated the relationship of BMI between
mother and child contemplating data on the
food consumption of both in urban
environment A total of 76 girls aged nine to
13 years and their mothers were evaluated
The higher the connectivity score in the
relationship between mother and daughter
the greater the similarity between their BMI
(p lt005)28 there was a significant similarity
in the consumption of fruits and vegetables by
children and their mothers (p = 001 and p
lt001 respectively) The childs eating habit
was also directly associated with this habit (p
lt0001) but there was no similarity relation
between the intake of sugary beverages by
the children and their mothers (pgt 005) In a
study of 172 Mexican children aged five to 12
years and their mothers it was found that
obese mothers had a significantly higher
proportion of obese children compared to
normal or overweight mothers [OR 155 (IC 95
18-132) p = 0003]37 However the state of
overweight and maternal obesity in a single
group was compared to the overweight and
obesity status of the children but no
statistical association was found The risk of
excessive energy consumption by their
daughters (p = 004) increased by 11 times the
mothers excessive energy consumption The
maternal lipid intake was associated with the
lipid intake of their sons and daughters (p
lt0001 and p = 0005 respectively) and the
mothers carbohydrate intake was associated
with their daughters consumption (p = 0004)
Increased sugar consumption by mothers
increased the risk of excessive sugar
consumption in their sons and daughters by
four to five times
In a study carried out in Brazil specifically
in a city in the center-west of Minas Gerais
the factors associated with infant BMI in 60
children between six and ten years old were
measured and the mothers obesity was found
as an independent variable associated with
excess (p = 0004) Of the children whose
mothers were obese 714 were overweight
versus 151 of those whose mothers were not
obese In this study the average daily intake
of breads (p = 003) and the lowest average
daily intake of yogurt (p = 0007) were
statistically significant with statistically
significant associations with the highest BMI of
the child The average daily intake of chip
snacks (p = 008) was also directly associated
with the highest infant BMI and the highest
average daily intake of ice creams (p = 009)
was indirectly associated with higher child
BMI without statistical significance Other
variables such as fathers obesity birth
weight breastfeeding and number of children
were evaluated however they were not
associated with the BMI of the child36
A follow-up study of 197 girls five years of
age was performed at the baseline until the
age of 13 and the prevalence of overweight
of the girls over time was evaluated It should
be noted that BMI change patterns were
higher than expected for normal growth
among daughters of overweight parents
compared with girls whose parents were not
overweight [mean weight gain 408 plusmn 133 kg
291 plusmn 62 kg respectively) p lt0001] It was
observed that girls from families in which only
mothers were overweight showed a faster rate
of increase in BMI over time compared to

had significantly higher BMIs compared to
mothers and fathers of overweight children
[(Mothers 352 plusmn 96 kg m2 vs 276 plusmn 69 kg
m2 Parents 333 plusmn 84 kg m 2 vs 282 plusmn
47 kg m 2 of youngsters with and without
overweight respectively) p lt0001] Maternal
obesity increased by 28 times the chance of
the child being obese until [p lt00001 95 CI
180-435] and as expected the
socioeconomic level did not differ significantly
among the participants since it is a
convenience sample whose sociodemographic
characteristics of families tend to be similar
In one study 26 risk factors for the
development of obesity in children in the
south-eastern region of Poland were assessed
It was found that maternal obesity was highly
associated with the presence of obesity in
children with a differential impact between
the sexes [OR 1428 (95 CI 1031-1979) p
lt0001] in girls and [OR 1675 (95 CI 1178-
2382) p lt00001) in boys Childrens obesity
was also significantly associated with paternal
obesity (p lt0001) however this relation is
higher with the mother It was found that
family income parental education level and
maternal occupation were not associated with
the presence of obesity in children and the
lower number of children living in the same
household was significantly associated with
childhood obesity (p lt005)
The early risk factors for obesity related to
the parents of 2025 Sicilian children aged nine
to 14 years living in urban and rural areas
were estimated38 Obese mothers had a
significantly higher prevalence of obese
children (329 vs 96 in normal weight
mothers p lt0005) The BMI of both fathers
and mothers was significantly correlated with
the BMI-z score (r = 027 and r = 025
respectively p lt00001) waist circumference
(r = 025 (r = 027 and p = 023 respectively
p lt00001) also adjusted for age and sex (p
lt005) There was also a significant
relationship between the level of parental
schooling and the childs weight status It was
inferred that when the mother or father had a
low level of schooling the prevalence of
childhood obesity was significantly higher than
when the parents had a high educational level
(p lt005) in addition overweight and obese
children had a significantly higher prevalence
of high birth weight (PN ge 4 kg) compared to
lean or normal-weight children (61 vs 31
p lt005) It was found that the prevalence of
high birth weight was significantly higher
among overweight and obese females (80 vs
37 p lt005) but no significant differences
were found between areas urban and rural
areas for BMI z scores for BMI and waist-to-
height ratio however children living in urban
areas had a significantly higher WC (748 plusmn
114 vs 733 plusmn 119 lt005) than children in
rural areas
A total of 1223 schoolchildren aged seven
to ten years 492 boys and 508 girls were
found and a significant relationship was
found between the nutritional status of the
children and the nutritional status of their
mothers30 It was observed that the
prevalence of overweight or obesity was 158
times higher among children of mothers who
were overweight (p = 0001) with no
significant difference between genders
revealing that approximately 849 of the
children had habits healthy diet but in this
investigation there was no significant
association between family income and
overweight
In a longitudinal study35 302 girls and 316
boys mean age of 45 years at baseline were
observed during a ten-year follow-up
Measurements of anthropometric
measurements were made at five moments
during the study and maternal obesity was a
predictor of the increase in overweight
obesity in girls (OR ranged from 248 to 863
p lt00001) and (OR ranged from 227 to 403
p lt00006) in boys at all time points
In another longitudinal study 34 32-year-old
Mexican American children aged eight to ten
years were followed for two years of follow-up
regarding the influence of parental feeding
practices on the childs weight and positive
correlation between BMI waist height ratio
of children and parental BMI both maternal
BMI and paternal BMI (p lt0001) The
socioeconomic level of the families was
associated with lower BMI and lower waist-to-
height ratio (r = -012 p lt005)
The influence of maternal food preferences
on childrens food preferences was
measured24 This study was carried out in a
public school and a private school comparing
therefore two groups from different social
strata It was observed that the mothers of
the public school students had a higher BMI
when compared to the mothers of the private
school (p lt00001) The preferences of the
children were more strongly associated with
maternal food preferences compared to the
paternal preferences for the following foods

rchild = 086) and fish (rmom = 076 rdad = 063

influenced their childrens food preferences by
30 and this association was stronger for
students in public schools both parents
influenced their children in regular
consumption of common refrigerant (rmom =
084 rdad= 081 rchild = 098)
The association between ingestion and
dietary pattern between parents and children
in a representative sample of the United
States was studied27 and it was found that the
adjusted correlations were significantly
stronger between mother-child dyads than
between parent-child dyads and when
comparing food intake among children and
their mothers a correlation was observed
between cholesterol intake (rson=047
rdaughter=031 plt 005) calcium and dairy
products (rson=030 rdaughter=030 plt 005)
fruits and vegetables (rson=031 rdaughter=037
plt 005) It is generally suggested from the
findings of this study that the similarity in
dietary intake between parents and children is
relatively weak (correlations ranged from 020
to 033 for total energy intake and diet) It
was increased in parents who ate healthy food
three times the likelihood of children also
having a healthy diet and the age of the child
significantly modified this relationship which
was higher for children aged between two and
ten years [OR 405 (95 CI 245-668) p
lt005] compared to those over the age of 10
[OR 155 (95 CI 101-2 36) p lt005] When
the socioeconomic level was considered it
was only an interaction for the consumption of
diet soda with a significant correlation
between parents and children of better social
class (r = 031 p lt005)
The quality of the diet of preschool
children and their mothers with overweight
was determined in a study 31 assessing the
correlation between the quality of the
maternal diet and the childs diet The
maternal-infant scores of the diet quality
index were correlated with each other (r =
044 p lt00001) and more than half of the
children met the recommendations of total
grains milk and oils however only 6 of the
children met the recommendation of total
vegetables compared to 18 of the mothers
Children and mothers were significantly
different in the percentage of adequacy to
recommendations for fruits vegetables
whole grains milk and meat and beans It
should be noted that the quality of the infant
diet was better among those children with
longer breastfeeding children of white
mothers married and non-smokers however
BMI-Z score and BMI category were not
associated with quality of the childs diet
The comparison between the dietary intake
of the children and their respective parents
was found 33 and there were moderate
positive correlations between the father-child
dyads in relation to the percentages of energy
intake from fats saturated fats and
carbohydrates (r = 040-046 P lt005) while
the mother-infant dyads presented moderate
to moderate positive correlations for all
percentages of intake such as plant variety (r
= 040 p lt001) meat intake (r = 046 p
lt0001) except for carbohydrates (r = 027 p
lt005) besides strong correlations for the
general quality of the diet (r = 050 - 059)
The influence of maternal dietary practices
on the ingestion of non-alcoholic sugary drinks
in a sample of 1350 six-year-old children was
evaluated and 23 of children were found to
be overweight and consume these beverages
once a day and that regardless of the
nutritional status of the child children of
mothers who limited their consumption of
sweets and unhealthy foods were significantly
less likely to consume non-alcoholic
sweetened beverages (p lt005)32
In a systematic review with meta-analysis
29 the similarity in food intake of children and
their parents was found 24 studies published
in the period from 1980 to 2011 were
identified of which 15 were included in the
meta-regression analysis Significantly the
results of the studies were varied and
generally speaking weak to moderate
correlations were suggested for nutrient
intake between parents and children with a
mean correlation coefficient of 020 (95 CI
013- 028) and 021 (95 CI 018-024) for
total fat and energy respectively It is further
noted by the authors that associations for
these dietary items have become weaker over
the years It should be noted that food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) produced a
lower correlation than the 24-hour records or
reminders and the better methodological
quality of the studies showed a stronger
correlation in fat intake It is emphasized that
the majority of the studies that composed this
review was based on small non-representative
samples and about half of them were carried
out in the United States being scarce the
work done in underdeveloped countries
It is understood that the results of this
research do not show that nutritional status
and maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children It is added that

although the sample of the study population
varies between 60 and 4248 children totaling
13858 participants only one study was
carried out with rural children showing the
lack of research on the subject with the
mentioned public
The prevalence of overweight and
childhood obesity found in the studies in this
review varied between 216 and 51 It is
reported that a systematic review study 44
worldwide identified a substantial increase in
childhood obesity with 238 of boys and
226 of girls in developed countries being
overweight or obese In developing countries
prevalence of overweight and obesity
increased from 81 to 129 in 2013 for boys
and from 84 to 134 in girls
The methodology for collecting the
anthropometric data was used to calculate
the BMI between the studies The weight and
height measures of the children were obtained
by a majority of them (n = 13) through an
evaluation carried out by a trained
researcher In one of the selected studies
these measures were measured by the
respective mothers However it was noticed
that the anthropometric measurements of the
mothers were self-reported in more than half
of the studies (n = 9) Self-reported measures
may include outdated data errors lack of
knowledge or underreporting of overweight45
It was verified that the instruments used
for the evaluation of food consumption were
heterogeneous which makes it difficult to
compare the results found It is noteworthy
that only three studies evaluated the
consumption of non-alcoholic sugary drinks It
is relevant to evaluate this aspect in the
dietary pattern since studies have discussed
the possible association between the
consumption of sugary drinks and the BMI It
was pointed out in the literature review that 46 the overall index of non-alcoholic sugary
beverages consumption is high in the child and
adolescent population and that additional
studies especially follow-up studies should
be implemented to elucidate its effect on BMI
and health in general
It was verified that the majority of the
articles of this revision is international being
only two realized in Brazil In addition most
urban area surveys were carried out with only
one study covering urban and rural areas and
did not find significant differences in the
prevalence of overweight between the two
areas demonstrating that the nutritional
transition also affects children As a result
the hypothesis is that rural inhabitants have
more access to healthy foods such as fruits
and vegetables as well as having adequate
physical space for planting and growing
gardens and leisure activities in the air free
so they would be less likely to become
obese47 It is necessary in this sense to carry
out further investigations with this public for
a better understanding about the prevalence
of obesity and associated factors in children
residing in this area
The relationship in BMI and the dietary
pattern between mother and child in this
review was observed especially in urban
children These findings may support genetic
causation but environmental and family
components should be considered since
parents and the family environment are the
primary influences of life habits that children
tend to follow It is understood that family
practices such as food consumption absence
of physical activity hours in front of the
television or computer are examples that
directly influence the choices and
conditioning of the individual in relation to
habits of life48
Among the studies analyzed in this review
nine of them evaluated the socioeconomic
status of the participants and from these
one found a significant association between
the higher socioeconomic level and the lower
child BMI34 Evidence suggests that
socioeconomic status is an important element
associated with obesity although the existing
literature is not consensual There was a
direct association between higher family
income and obesity in schoolchildren 12
justifying that greater access to consumer
goods stimulates sedentariness such as
excessive use of the computer In addition
due to the higher purchasing power access to
an inadequate nutritional standard such as
the use of sugary drinks delicacies and
industrialized foods of high energy value49
t was found that more than half of the
studies 75 (n = 12) are of the transverse
type characterized as level 4 of scientific
evidence 19 (n = 3) are descriptive cohort
studies characterized as level 3 of evidence
and 6 (n = 1) are of systematic review
characterized as level 1 of evidence however
because they are not randomized controlled
clinical trials we can not extract causal
inferences34
It was found with regard to the
representativeness of the samples that 438
(n = 7) of the selected studies had sampling
for convenience It becomes impracticable to
state that the data from the studies analyzed
with non-randomized sampling represent a
population and representative and random
samples are essential from the point of view
of internal and external validity to ensure that

the information collected is extended to the
population50
The lack of studies evaluating the
relationship between nutritional status and
food consumption among children from five to
ten years old and their mothers especially in
rural environments shows that only two of
the articles evaluated in this review presented
it clearly It is known that the family directly
influences the health promotion practices or
the illness of its members since it plays a
fundamental role in the formation of values
beliefs knowledge and habits of life51
Therefore it is necessary in relation to
the factors associated with overweight in
children of longitudinal rural surveys that
assess the highest possible volume of variables
of the mother and child such as the
consumption of sugary drinks non-alcoholic
socioeconomic status BMI level of physical
activity favoring the analysis of the
determinants of this phenomenon of global
magnitude
It is concluded that the results of this
review do not show that nutritional status and
maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children considering that
in this research only one study was conducted
in rural areas and nevertheless it is an
international study that did not compare
maternal and child food consumption It is
therefore recommended to implement more
studies in the rural area mainly in Brazil on
this subject

It is known that obesity is a multifactorial
disease characterized by an excessive increase
of body fat having a detrimental effect on
the health of the individual with a significant
loss in quantity and quality of life1 It is
noticed that some cases of obesity are of
endogenous origin associated with hormonal
genetic or syndromic disorders such as
hypothyroidism Cushings syndrome growth
hormone deficiency defective leptin
signaling mutations at the melanocortin 4
receptor and the Prader-Willi and Bardet-
Biedl syndromes however most cases are of
exogenous origin due to the positive energy
balance2
Childhood obesity is a serious public health
problem of contemporary times It is
estimated by the World Health Organization
that 41 million children under five and more
than 340 million children and adolescents
aged five to 19 years were overweight or
obese in 2016 3 Recent research by the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) conducted in the United States showed
that 121 of children between two and five
years of age and 180 between six and
eleven were obese4 It is inferred that in
Brazil according to the Family Budget Survey
(FBS) (2008-2009) one in three children aged
five to nine years were overweight with
514 of the boys and 438 of the girls 5
and of Brazilian children aged five to ten
years accompanied by SISVAN 284 are
overweight6
It is believed that overweight or obese
children who remain in this condition
throughout development tend to become
adults with neurometabolic and endocrine
complications as well as predisposition to the
metabolic syndrome cardiovascular diseases
such as dyslipidemia hyperinsulinemia
increased blood pressure and autonomic
dysfunction17-8 These children are often
presented with socialization difficulties and
they face suffering due to the stigmatization
of obesity reflecting in low self-esteem and
behavioral disorder characterizing bullying9
In addition to the genetic factor it
contributes to weight gain and body fat
which also predispose the environmental
factors to obesity and among them the
sedentary lifestyle and inadequate eating
habits 10-1 such as excessive exposure to
ultraprocessed foods and with low nutritional
value
Children of different socioeconomic levels
and places of housing have been reached
today either in urban or rural areas12 It is
observed that although in the countryside
the familys work practices involve planting
and the harvest favoring physical exercise
and access to in natura food an increase in
the consumption of processed products and
sedentary practices among children and their
families13-5
It is also believed that children acquire
their eating habits and lifestyle in the family
especially with the mother thus maternal
nutritional status and eating habits may
constitute risk factors for childhood obesity
In fact investigations have been carried out in
urban areas in order to verify this relationship
showing that maternal overweight and their
habits of life can be associated with higher
levels of BMI of the children16-7
One can certainly contribute to this
increase in the prevalence of overweight
among children also in rural settings18-9 and
considering the implications of obesity on
childrens health it is pertinent to deepen the
knowledge about the subject and seek
evidence about this causal relationship In this
research we sought to answer the question
Can nutritional status and maternal eating
habits determine the overweight of rural
children
Through the findings of this study a better
understanding of factors that may affect the
dietary intake patterns and the nutritional
status of the children will be possible and may
produce useful information for the
development of effective intervention
programs to promote healthy eating in
childhood especially in the family
environment
bull To evaluate the association and similarity
between nutritional status and dietary intake
of children and their mothers in rural areas
An integrative literature review was carried
out consisting of a scientific investigation
with the objective of gathering critically
evaluating and conducting a synthesis of the
results of several primary studies generating
evidence An integrative literature review was

The following inclusion criteria were
considered all types of studies published in
the last ten years published between January
2007 and December 2016 with a population
between five and ten years of age The
chronological period for the inclusion of the
studies in order to investigate the most up-to-
date data on the subject was defined The age
group is justified because it is a phase with an
accelerated ascendancy of excess weight in
addition this group has peculiar
characteristics in the pattern of growth and
diagnostic criteria5 The data was collected
from March to November 2017 The studies
were selected by two reviewers
independently The studies were at first
tested by the reading of titles and abstracts
and in the event of disagreement between
them it was decided in plenary for the
moment to read the whole article and then it
was defined on the inclusion of the
manuscript The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting
Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-
Analyzes) protocol 21 was followed for the
identification selection eligibility and
inclusion of studies
In the next phase the selected studies
were read in full and simultaneously a
standardized and structured instrument was
used to collect data from each article in
order to systematize the relevant information
as well as to classify the level of scientific
evidence according to the categorization of
the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ)22
A total of 29 articles were selected for
reading in full After reading 13 articles were
excluded because they did not respond to the
research question or because the age group
was in disagreement with that defined in the
inclusion criteria (Figure 1)

Included in this review were 16 articles
that answered the question of the study of
which 12 are of cross-sectional design three
cohort and one systematic review It should
be emphasized that there is great variability
of the instruments and references used to
evaluate the nutritional status and eating
habits in the evaluated manuscripts It was
also found that the type of analysis of the
relationship between study variables is
heterogeneous (Figure 2)

varying from 116 to 84 among mothers and
from 216 to 51 among the children It is
mentioned that three studies did not present
the prevalence of overweight obesity of the
children evaluated242733 In one the mean Z
score for BMI age was 042 plusmn 119 for girls
and 073 plusmn 118 for boys33 It was shown in
two other studies that the average BMI was
202 plusmn 01 27 and another 192 plusmn 41 for public
school children and 191 plusmn 32 for private
school children24 Data on the dietary intake of
children in eleven studies were evaluated 23-
427-3336-7 but only eight of them evaluated
parental feeding and compared the
consumption of mother-infant dyads2831-2 and
also father-son2427293337
The questionnaires used to collect data
between the studies were differed It is
noticed that some authors30 used QUADA
version 3 which consists of an illustrated
questionnaire referring to the food
consumption of the previous day in a
qualitative way others32 used four questions
extracted from the Infant Feeding
Questionnaire and focused on maternal
behavior regarding the childs diet and two
questions regarding the frequency with which
the child had ingested non-alcoholic sugary
drinks in the last month Some authors have
used validated semiquantitative food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) Australian
Eating Survey (AES) for adults and Australian
Child and Adolescent Eating Survey (ACAES)
for children3336 others used the 24-hour food
recall 272931 as well as some authors who
used a structured questionnaire with
questions about the eating habits of children
and parents24 another group of authors used a
questionnaire on the consumption of fruit
vegetables and sugary drinks 28 and the
studies included in the review29 used FFQs and
or 24-hour food recall
t is exposed from the studies found in this
review that only two 2837 simultaneously
evaluated the relationship of BMI between
mother and child contemplating data on the
food consumption of both in urban
environment A total of 76 girls aged nine to
13 years and their mothers were evaluated
The higher the connectivity score in the
relationship between mother and daughter
the greater the similarity between their BMI
(p lt005)28 there was a significant similarity
in the consumption of fruits and vegetables by
children and their mothers (p = 001 and p
lt001 respectively) The childs eating habit
was also directly associated with this habit (p
lt0001) but there was no similarity relation
between the intake of sugary beverages by
the children and their mothers (pgt 005) In a
study of 172 Mexican children aged five to 12
years and their mothers it was found that
obese mothers had a significantly higher
proportion of obese children compared to
normal or overweight mothers [OR 155 (IC 95
18-132) p = 0003]37 However the state of
overweight and maternal obesity in a single
group was compared to the overweight and
obesity status of the children but no
statistical association was found The risk of
excessive energy consumption by their
daughters (p = 004) increased by 11 times the
mothers excessive energy consumption The
maternal lipid intake was associated with the
lipid intake of their sons and daughters (p
lt0001 and p = 0005 respectively) and the
mothers carbohydrate intake was associated
with their daughters consumption (p = 0004)
Increased sugar consumption by mothers
increased the risk of excessive sugar
consumption in their sons and daughters by
four to five times
In a study carried out in Brazil specifically
in a city in the center-west of Minas Gerais
the factors associated with infant BMI in 60
children between six and ten years old were
measured and the mothers obesity was found
as an independent variable associated with
excess (p = 0004) Of the children whose
mothers were obese 714 were overweight
versus 151 of those whose mothers were not
obese In this study the average daily intake
of breads (p = 003) and the lowest average
daily intake of yogurt (p = 0007) were
statistically significant with statistically
significant associations with the highest BMI of
the child The average daily intake of chip
snacks (p = 008) was also directly associated
with the highest infant BMI and the highest
average daily intake of ice creams (p = 009)
was indirectly associated with higher child
BMI without statistical significance Other
variables such as fathers obesity birth

A follow-up study of 197 girls five years of
age was performed at the baseline until the
age of 13 and the prevalence of overweight
of the girls over time was evaluated It should
be noted that BMI change patterns were
higher than expected for normal growth
among daughters of overweight parents
compared with girls whose parents were not
overweight [mean weight gain 408 plusmn 133 kg

those in which neither parent was overweight
(p lt005)
25 characteristics of parents associated
with obesity in children and adolescents were
examined in a study to better understand the
obesogenic family environment It was found
that mothers and fathers of obese youngsters
had significantly higher BMIs compared to
mothers and fathers of overweight children
[(Mothers 352 plusmn 96 kg m2 vs 276 plusmn 69 kg
m2 Parents 333 plusmn 84 kg m 2 vs 282 plusmn
47 kg m 2 of youngsters with and without
overweight respectively) p lt0001] Maternal
obesity increased by 28 times the chance of
the child being obese until [p lt00001 95 CI
180-435] and as expected the
socioeconomic level did not differ significantly
among the participants since it is a
convenience sample whose sociodemographic
characteristics of families tend to be similar
In one study 26 risk factors for the
development of obesity in children in the
south-eastern region of Poland were assessed
It was found that maternal obesity was highly
associated with the presence of obesity in
children with a differential impact between
the sexes [OR 1428 (95 CI 1031-1979) p
lt0001] in girls and [OR 1675 (95 CI 1178-
2382) p lt00001) in boys Childrens obesity
was also significantly associated with paternal
obesity (p lt0001) however this relation is
higher with the mother It was found that
family income parental education level and
maternal occupation were not associated with
the presence of obesity in children and the
lower number of children living in the same
household was significantly associated with
childhood obesity (p lt005)
The early risk factors for obesity related to
the parents of 2025 Sicilian children aged nine
to 14 years living in urban and rural areas
were estimated38 Obese mothers had a
significantly higher prevalence of obese
children (329 vs 96 in normal weight
mothers p lt0005) The BMI of both fathers
and mothers was significantly correlated with
the BMI-z score (r = 027 and r = 025
respectively p lt00001) waist circumference
(r = 025 (r = 027 and p = 023 respectively
p lt00001) also adjusted for age and sex (p
lt005) There was also a significant
relationship between the level of parental
schooling and the childs weight status It was
inferred that when the mother or father had a
low level of schooling the prevalence of
childhood obesity was significantly higher than
when the parents had a high educational level
(p lt005) in addition overweight and obese
children had a significantly higher prevalence
of high birth weight (PN ge 4 kg) compared to
lean or normal-weight children (61 vs 31
p lt005) It was found that the prevalence of
high birth weight was significantly higher
among overweight and obese females (80 vs
37 p lt005) but no significant differences
were found between areas urban and rural
areas for BMI z scores for BMI and waist-to-
height ratio however children living in urban
areas had a significantly higher WC (748 plusmn
114 vs 733 plusmn 119 lt005) than children in
rural areas
A total of 1223 schoolchildren aged seven
to ten years 492 boys and 508 girls were
found and a significant relationship was
found between the nutritional status of the
children and the nutritional status of their
mothers30 It was observed that the
prevalence of overweight or obesity was 158
times higher among children of mothers who
were overweight (p = 0001) with no
significant difference between genders
revealing that approximately 849 of the
children had habits healthy diet but in this
investigation there was no significant
association between family income and
overweight
In a longitudinal study35 302 girls and 316
boys mean age of 45 years at baseline were
observed during a ten-year follow-up
Measurements of anthropometric
measurements were made at five moments
during the study and maternal obesity was a
predictor of the increase in overweight
obesity in girls (OR ranged from 248 to 863
p lt00001) and (OR ranged from 227 to 403
p lt00006) in boys at all time points
In another longitudinal study 34 32-year-old
Mexican American children aged eight to ten
years were followed for two years of follow-up
regarding the influence of parental feeding
practices on the childs weight and positive
correlation between BMI waist height ratio
of children and parental BMI both maternal
BMI and paternal BMI (p lt0001) The
socioeconomic level of the families was
associated with lower BMI and lower waist-to-
height ratio (r = -012 p lt005)
The influence of maternal food preferences
on childrens food preferences was
measured24 This study was carried out in a
public school and a private school comparing
therefore two groups from different social
strata It was observed that the mothers of
the public school students had a higher BMI
when compared to the mothers of the private
school (p lt00001) The preferences of the
children were more strongly associated with
maternal food preferences compared to the
paternal preferences for the following foods

rchild = 086) and fish (rmom = 076 rdad = 063

influenced their childrens food preferences by
30 and this association was stronger for
students in public schools both parents
influenced their children in regular
consumption of common refrigerant (rmom =
084 rdad= 081 rchild = 098)
The association between ingestion and
dietary pattern between parents and children
in a representative sample of the United
States was studied27 and it was found that the
adjusted correlations were significantly
stronger between mother-child dyads than
between parent-child dyads and when
comparing food intake among children and
their mothers a correlation was observed
between cholesterol intake (rson=047
rdaughter=031 plt 005) calcium and dairy
products (rson=030 rdaughter=030 plt 005)
fruits and vegetables (rson=031 rdaughter=037
plt 005) It is generally suggested from the
findings of this study that the similarity in
dietary intake between parents and children is
relatively weak (correlations ranged from 020
to 033 for total energy intake and diet) It
was increased in parents who ate healthy food
three times the likelihood of children also
having a healthy diet and the age of the child
significantly modified this relationship which
was higher for children aged between two and
ten years [OR 405 (95 CI 245-668) p
lt005] compared to those over the age of 10
[OR 155 (95 CI 101-2 36) p lt005] When
the socioeconomic level was considered it
was only an interaction for the consumption of
diet soda with a significant correlation
between parents and children of better social
class (r = 031 p lt005)
The quality of the diet of preschool
children and their mothers with overweight
was determined in a study 31 assessing the
correlation between the quality of the
maternal diet and the childs diet The
maternal-infant scores of the diet quality
index were correlated with each other (r =
044 p lt00001) and more than half of the
children met the recommendations of total
grains milk and oils however only 6 of the
children met the recommendation of total
vegetables compared to 18 of the mothers
Children and mothers were significantly
different in the percentage of adequacy to
recommendations for fruits vegetables
whole grains milk and meat and beans It
should be noted that the quality of the infant
diet was better among those children with
longer breastfeeding children of white
mothers married and non-smokers however
BMI-Z score and BMI category were not
associated with quality of the childs diet
The comparison between the dietary intake
of the children and their respective parents
was found 33 and there were moderate
positive correlations between the father-child
dyads in relation to the percentages of energy
intake from fats saturated fats and
carbohydrates (r = 040-046 P lt005) while
the mother-infant dyads presented moderate
to moderate positive correlations for all
percentages of intake such as plant variety (r
= 040 p lt001) meat intake (r = 046 p
lt0001) except for carbohydrates (r = 027 p
lt005) besides strong correlations for the
general quality of the diet (r = 050 - 059)
The influence of maternal dietary practices
on the ingestion of non-alcoholic sugary drinks
in a sample of 1350 six-year-old children was
evaluated and 23 of children were found to
be overweight and consume these beverages
once a day and that regardless of the
nutritional status of the child children of
mothers who limited their consumption of
sweets and unhealthy foods were significantly
less likely to consume non-alcoholic
sweetened beverages (p lt005)32
In a systematic review with meta-analysis
29 the similarity in food intake of children and
their parents was found 24 studies published
in the period from 1980 to 2011 were
identified of which 15 were included in the
meta-regression analysis Significantly the
results of the studies were varied and
generally speaking weak to moderate
correlations were suggested for nutrient
intake between parents and children with a
mean correlation coefficient of 020 (95 CI
013- 028) and 021 (95 CI 018-024) for
total fat and energy respectively It is further
noted by the authors that associations for
these dietary items have become weaker over
the years It should be noted that food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) produced a
lower correlation than the 24-hour records or
reminders and the better methodological
quality of the studies showed a stronger
correlation in fat intake It is emphasized that
the majority of the studies that composed this
review was based on small non-representative
samples and about half of them were carried
out in the United States being scarce the
work done in underdeveloped countries
It is understood that the results of this
research do not show that nutritional status
and maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children It is added that

although the sample of the study population
varies between 60 and 4248 children totaling
13858 participants only one study was
carried out with rural children showing the
lack of research on the subject with the
mentioned public
The prevalence of overweight and
childhood obesity found in the studies in this
review varied between 216 and 51 It is
reported that a systematic review study 44
worldwide identified a substantial increase in
childhood obesity with 238 of boys and
226 of girls in developed countries being
overweight or obese In developing countries
prevalence of overweight and obesity
increased from 81 to 129 in 2013 for boys
and from 84 to 134 in girls
The methodology for collecting the
anthropometric data was used to calculate
the BMI between the studies The weight and
height measures of the children were obtained
by a majority of them (n = 13) through an
evaluation carried out by a trained
researcher In one of the selected studies
these measures were measured by the
respective mothers However it was noticed
that the anthropometric measurements of the
mothers were self-reported in more than half
of the studies (n = 9) Self-reported measures
may include outdated data errors lack of
knowledge or underreporting of overweight45
It was verified that the instruments used
for the evaluation of food consumption were
heterogeneous which makes it difficult to
compare the results found It is noteworthy
that only three studies evaluated the
consumption of non-alcoholic sugary drinks It
is relevant to evaluate this aspect in the
dietary pattern since studies have discussed
the possible association between the
consumption of sugary drinks and the BMI It
was pointed out in the literature review that 46 the overall index of non-alcoholic sugary
beverages consumption is high in the child and
adolescent population and that additional
studies especially follow-up studies should
be implemented to elucidate its effect on BMI
and health in general
It was verified that the majority of the
articles of this revision is international being
only two realized in Brazil In addition most
urban area surveys were carried out with only
one study covering urban and rural areas and
did not find significant differences in the
prevalence of overweight between the two
areas demonstrating that the nutritional
transition also affects children As a result
the hypothesis is that rural inhabitants have
more access to healthy foods such as fruits
and vegetables as well as having adequate
physical space for planting and growing
gardens and leisure activities in the air free
so they would be less likely to become
obese47 It is necessary in this sense to carry
out further investigations with this public for
a better understanding about the prevalence
of obesity and associated factors in children
residing in this area
The relationship in BMI and the dietary
pattern between mother and child in this
review was observed especially in urban
children These findings may support genetic
causation but environmental and family
components should be considered since
parents and the family environment are the
primary influences of life habits that children
tend to follow It is understood that family
practices such as food consumption absence
of physical activity hours in front of the
television or computer are examples that
directly influence the choices and
conditioning of the individual in relation to
habits of life48
Among the studies analyzed in this review
nine of them evaluated the socioeconomic
status of the participants and from these
one found a significant association between
the higher socioeconomic level and the lower
child BMI34 Evidence suggests that
socioeconomic status is an important element
associated with obesity although the existing
literature is not consensual There was a
direct association between higher family
income and obesity in schoolchildren 12
justifying that greater access to consumer
goods stimulates sedentariness such as
excessive use of the computer In addition
due to the higher purchasing power access to
an inadequate nutritional standard such as
the use of sugary drinks delicacies and
industrialized foods of high energy value49
t was found that more than half of the
studies 75 (n = 12) are of the transverse
type characterized as level 4 of scientific
evidence 19 (n = 3) are descriptive cohort
studies characterized as level 3 of evidence
and 6 (n = 1) are of systematic review
characterized as level 1 of evidence however
because they are not randomized controlled
clinical trials we can not extract causal
inferences34
It was found with regard to the
representativeness of the samples that 438
(n = 7) of the selected studies had sampling
for convenience It becomes impracticable to
state that the data from the studies analyzed
with non-randomized sampling represent a
population and representative and random
samples are essential from the point of view
of internal and external validity to ensure that

the information collected is extended to the
population50
The lack of studies evaluating the
relationship between nutritional status and
food consumption among children from five to
ten years old and their mothers especially in
rural environments shows that only two of
the articles evaluated in this review presented
it clearly It is known that the family directly
influences the health promotion practices or
the illness of its members since it plays a
fundamental role in the formation of values
beliefs knowledge and habits of life51
Therefore it is necessary in relation to
the factors associated with overweight in
children of longitudinal rural surveys that
assess the highest possible volume of variables
of the mother and child such as the
consumption of sugary drinks non-alcoholic
socioeconomic status BMI level of physical
activity favoring the analysis of the
determinants of this phenomenon of global
magnitude
It is concluded that the results of this
review do not show that nutritional status and
maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children considering that
in this research only one study was conducted
in rural areas and nevertheless it is an
international study that did not compare
maternal and child food consumption It is
therefore recommended to implement more
studies in the rural area mainly in Brazil on
this subject

The following inclusion criteria were
considered all types of studies published in
the last ten years published between January
2007 and December 2016 with a population
between five and ten years of age The
chronological period for the inclusion of the
studies in order to investigate the most up-to-
date data on the subject was defined The age
group is justified because it is a phase with an
accelerated ascendancy of excess weight in
addition this group has peculiar
characteristics in the pattern of growth and
diagnostic criteria5 The data was collected
from March to November 2017 The studies
were selected by two reviewers
independently The studies were at first
tested by the reading of titles and abstracts
and in the event of disagreement between
them it was decided in plenary for the
moment to read the whole article and then it
was defined on the inclusion of the
manuscript The PRISMA (Preferred Reporting
Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-
Analyzes) protocol 21 was followed for the
identification selection eligibility and
inclusion of studies
In the next phase the selected studies
were read in full and simultaneously a
standardized and structured instrument was
used to collect data from each article in
order to systematize the relevant information
as well as to classify the level of scientific
evidence according to the categorization of
the Agency for Healthcare Research and
Quality (AHRQ)22
A total of 29 articles were selected for
reading in full After reading 13 articles were
excluded because they did not respond to the
research question or because the age group
was in disagreement with that defined in the
inclusion criteria (Figure 1)

Included in this review were 16 articles
that answered the question of the study of
which 12 are of cross-sectional design three
cohort and one systematic review It should
be emphasized that there is great variability
of the instruments and references used to
evaluate the nutritional status and eating
habits in the evaluated manuscripts It was
also found that the type of analysis of the
relationship between study variables is
heterogeneous (Figure 2)

varying from 116 to 84 among mothers and
from 216 to 51 among the children It is
mentioned that three studies did not present
the prevalence of overweight obesity of the
children evaluated242733 In one the mean Z
score for BMI age was 042 plusmn 119 for girls
and 073 plusmn 118 for boys33 It was shown in
two other studies that the average BMI was
202 plusmn 01 27 and another 192 plusmn 41 for public
school children and 191 plusmn 32 for private
school children24 Data on the dietary intake of
children in eleven studies were evaluated 23-
427-3336-7 but only eight of them evaluated
parental feeding and compared the
consumption of mother-infant dyads2831-2 and
also father-son2427293337
The questionnaires used to collect data
between the studies were differed It is
noticed that some authors30 used QUADA
version 3 which consists of an illustrated
questionnaire referring to the food
consumption of the previous day in a
qualitative way others32 used four questions
extracted from the Infant Feeding
Questionnaire and focused on maternal
behavior regarding the childs diet and two
questions regarding the frequency with which
the child had ingested non-alcoholic sugary
drinks in the last month Some authors have
used validated semiquantitative food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) Australian
Eating Survey (AES) for adults and Australian
Child and Adolescent Eating Survey (ACAES)
for children3336 others used the 24-hour food
recall 272931 as well as some authors who
used a structured questionnaire with
questions about the eating habits of children
and parents24 another group of authors used a
questionnaire on the consumption of fruit
vegetables and sugary drinks 28 and the
studies included in the review29 used FFQs and
or 24-hour food recall
t is exposed from the studies found in this
review that only two 2837 simultaneously
evaluated the relationship of BMI between
mother and child contemplating data on the
food consumption of both in urban
environment A total of 76 girls aged nine to
13 years and their mothers were evaluated
The higher the connectivity score in the
relationship between mother and daughter
the greater the similarity between their BMI
(p lt005)28 there was a significant similarity
in the consumption of fruits and vegetables by
children and their mothers (p = 001 and p
lt001 respectively) The childs eating habit
was also directly associated with this habit (p
lt0001) but there was no similarity relation
between the intake of sugary beverages by
the children and their mothers (pgt 005) In a
study of 172 Mexican children aged five to 12
years and their mothers it was found that
obese mothers had a significantly higher
proportion of obese children compared to
normal or overweight mothers [OR 155 (IC 95
18-132) p = 0003]37 However the state of
overweight and maternal obesity in a single
group was compared to the overweight and
obesity status of the children but no
statistical association was found The risk of
excessive energy consumption by their
daughters (p = 004) increased by 11 times the
mothers excessive energy consumption The
maternal lipid intake was associated with the
lipid intake of their sons and daughters (p
lt0001 and p = 0005 respectively) and the
mothers carbohydrate intake was associated
with their daughters consumption (p = 0004)
Increased sugar consumption by mothers
increased the risk of excessive sugar
consumption in their sons and daughters by
four to five times
In a study carried out in Brazil specifically
in a city in the center-west of Minas Gerais
the factors associated with infant BMI in 60
children between six and ten years old were
measured and the mothers obesity was found
as an independent variable associated with
excess (p = 0004) Of the children whose
mothers were obese 714 were overweight
versus 151 of those whose mothers were not
obese In this study the average daily intake
of breads (p = 003) and the lowest average
daily intake of yogurt (p = 0007) were
statistically significant with statistically
significant associations with the highest BMI of
the child The average daily intake of chip
snacks (p = 008) was also directly associated
with the highest infant BMI and the highest
average daily intake of ice creams (p = 009)
was indirectly associated with higher child
BMI without statistical significance Other
variables such as fathers obesity birth
weight breastfeeding and number of children
were evaluated however they were not
associated with the BMI of the child36
A follow-up study of 197 girls five years of
age was performed at the baseline until the
age of 13 and the prevalence of overweight
of the girls over time was evaluated It should
be noted that BMI change patterns were
higher than expected for normal growth
among daughters of overweight parents
compared with girls whose parents were not
overweight [mean weight gain 408 plusmn 133 kg
291 plusmn 62 kg respectively) p lt0001] It was
observed that girls from families in which only
mothers were overweight showed a faster rate
of increase in BMI over time compared to

those in which neither parent was overweight

25 characteristics of parents associated
with obesity in children and adolescents were
examined in a study to better understand the
obesogenic family environment It was found
that mothers and fathers of obese youngsters
had significantly higher BMIs compared to
mothers and fathers of overweight children
[(Mothers 352 plusmn 96 kg m2 vs 276 plusmn 69 kg

obesity increased by 28 times the chance of
the child being obese until [p lt00001 95 CI
180-435] and as expected the
socioeconomic level did not differ significantly
among the participants since it is a
convenience sample whose sociodemographic
characteristics of families tend to be similar
In one study 26 risk factors for the
development of obesity in children in the
south-eastern region of Poland were assessed
It was found that maternal obesity was highly
associated with the presence of obesity in
children with a differential impact between
the sexes [OR 1428 (95 CI 1031-1979) p
lt0001] in girls and [OR 1675 (95 CI 1178-
2382) p lt00001) in boys Childrens obesity
was also significantly associated with paternal
obesity (p lt0001) however this relation is
higher with the mother It was found that
family income parental education level and
maternal occupation were not associated with
the presence of obesity in children and the
lower number of children living in the same
household was significantly associated with
childhood obesity (p lt005)
The early risk factors for obesity related to
the parents of 2025 Sicilian children aged nine
to 14 years living in urban and rural areas

and mothers was significantly correlated with
the BMI-z score (r = 027 and r = 025
respectively p lt00001) waist circumference
(r = 025 (r = 027 and p = 023 respectively
p lt00001) also adjusted for age and sex (p
lt005) There was also a significant
relationship between the level of parental
schooling and the childs weight status It was
inferred that when the mother or father had a
low level of schooling the prevalence of
childhood obesity was significantly higher than
when the parents had a high educational level
(p lt005) in addition overweight and obese
children had a significantly higher prevalence
of high birth weight (PN ge 4 kg) compared to
lean or normal-weight children (61 vs 31
p lt005) It was found that the prevalence of
high birth weight was significantly higher
among overweight and obese females (80 vs
37 p lt005) but no significant differences
were found between areas urban and rural
areas for BMI z scores for BMI and waist-to-
height ratio however children living in urban
areas had a significantly higher WC (748 plusmn
114 vs 733 plusmn 119 lt005) than children in
rural areas
A total of 1223 schoolchildren aged seven
to ten years 492 boys and 508 girls were
found and a significant relationship was
found between the nutritional status of the
children and the nutritional status of their
mothers30 It was observed that the
prevalence of overweight or obesity was 158
times higher among children of mothers who
were overweight (p = 0001) with no
significant difference between genders
revealing that approximately 849 of the
children had habits healthy diet but in this
investigation there was no significant
association between family income and
overweight
In a longitudinal study35 302 girls and 316
boys mean age of 45 years at baseline were
observed during a ten-year follow-up
Measurements of anthropometric
measurements were made at five moments
during the study and maternal obesity was a
predictor of the increase in overweight
obesity in girls (OR ranged from 248 to 863
p lt00001) and (OR ranged from 227 to 403
p lt00006) in boys at all time points
In another longitudinal study 34 32-year-old
Mexican American children aged eight to ten
years were followed for two years of follow-up
regarding the influence of parental feeding
practices on the childs weight and positive
correlation between BMI waist height ratio
of children and parental BMI both maternal
BMI and paternal BMI (p lt0001) The
socioeconomic level of the families was
associated with lower BMI and lower waist-to-
height ratio (r = -012 p lt005)
The influence of maternal food preferences
on childrens food preferences was
measured24 This study was carried out in a
public school and a private school comparing
therefore two groups from different social
strata It was observed that the mothers of
the public school students had a higher BMI
when compared to the mothers of the private
school (p lt00001) The preferences of the
children were more strongly associated with
maternal food preferences compared to the
paternal preferences for the following foods

082) diet refrigerant (rmom = 097 rdad = 060
rchild = 086) and fish (rmom = 076 rdad = 063
rchild = 078) The results showed that mothers
influenced their childrens food preferences by
30 and this association was stronger for
students in public schools both parents
influenced their children in regular
consumption of common refrigerant (rmom =
084 rdad= 081 rchild = 098)
The association between ingestion and
dietary pattern between parents and children
in a representative sample of the United
States was studied27 and it was found that the
adjusted correlations were significantly
stronger between mother-child dyads than
between parent-child dyads and when
comparing food intake among children and
their mothers a correlation was observed
between cholesterol intake (rson=047
rdaughter=031 plt 005) calcium and dairy
products (rson=030 rdaughter=030 plt 005)
fruits and vegetables (rson=031 rdaughter=037
plt 005) It is generally suggested from the
findings of this study that the similarity in
dietary intake between parents and children is
relatively weak (correlations ranged from 020
to 033 for total energy intake and diet) It
was increased in parents who ate healthy food
three times the likelihood of children also
having a healthy diet and the age of the child
significantly modified this relationship which
was higher for children aged between two and
ten years [OR 405 (95 CI 245-668) p
lt005] compared to those over the age of 10
[OR 155 (95 CI 101-2 36) p lt005] When
the socioeconomic level was considered it
was only an interaction for the consumption of
diet soda with a significant correlation
between parents and children of better social
class (r = 031 p lt005)
The quality of the diet of preschool
children and their mothers with overweight
was determined in a study 31 assessing the
correlation between the quality of the
maternal diet and the childs diet The
maternal-infant scores of the diet quality
index were correlated with each other (r =
044 p lt00001) and more than half of the
children met the recommendations of total
grains milk and oils however only 6 of the
children met the recommendation of total
vegetables compared to 18 of the mothers
Children and mothers were significantly
different in the percentage of adequacy to
recommendations for fruits vegetables
whole grains milk and meat and beans It
should be noted that the quality of the infant
diet was better among those children with
longer breastfeeding children of white
mothers married and non-smokers however
BMI-Z score and BMI category were not
associated with quality of the childs diet
The comparison between the dietary intake
of the children and their respective parents
was found 33 and there were moderate
positive correlations between the father-child
dyads in relation to the percentages of energy
intake from fats saturated fats and
carbohydrates (r = 040-046 P lt005) while
the mother-infant dyads presented moderate
to moderate positive correlations for all
percentages of intake such as plant variety (r
= 040 p lt001) meat intake (r = 046 p
lt0001) except for carbohydrates (r = 027 p
lt005) besides strong correlations for the
general quality of the diet (r = 050 - 059)
The influence of maternal dietary practices
on the ingestion of non-alcoholic sugary drinks
in a sample of 1350 six-year-old children was
evaluated and 23 of children were found to
be overweight and consume these beverages
once a day and that regardless of the
nutritional status of the child children of
mothers who limited their consumption of
sweets and unhealthy foods were significantly
less likely to consume non-alcoholic
sweetened beverages (p lt005)32
In a systematic review with meta-analysis
29 the similarity in food intake of children and
their parents was found 24 studies published
in the period from 1980 to 2011 were
identified of which 15 were included in the
meta-regression analysis Significantly the
results of the studies were varied and
generally speaking weak to moderate
correlations were suggested for nutrient
intake between parents and children with a
mean correlation coefficient of 020 (95 CI
013- 028) and 021 (95 CI 018-024) for
total fat and energy respectively It is further
noted by the authors that associations for
these dietary items have become weaker over
the years It should be noted that food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) produced a
lower correlation than the 24-hour records or
reminders and the better methodological
quality of the studies showed a stronger
correlation in fat intake It is emphasized that
the majority of the studies that composed this
review was based on small non-representative
samples and about half of them were carried
out in the United States being scarce the
work done in underdeveloped countries
It is understood that the results of this
research do not show that nutritional status
and maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children It is added that

although the sample of the study population
varies between 60 and 4248 children totaling
13858 participants only one study was
carried out with rural children showing the
lack of research on the subject with the
mentioned public
The prevalence of overweight and
childhood obesity found in the studies in this
review varied between 216 and 51 It is
reported that a systematic review study 44
worldwide identified a substantial increase in
childhood obesity with 238 of boys and
226 of girls in developed countries being
overweight or obese In developing countries
prevalence of overweight and obesity
increased from 81 to 129 in 2013 for boys
and from 84 to 134 in girls
The methodology for collecting the
anthropometric data was used to calculate
the BMI between the studies The weight and
height measures of the children were obtained
by a majority of them (n = 13) through an
evaluation carried out by a trained
researcher In one of the selected studies
these measures were measured by the
respective mothers However it was noticed
that the anthropometric measurements of the
mothers were self-reported in more than half
of the studies (n = 9) Self-reported measures
may include outdated data errors lack of
knowledge or underreporting of overweight45
It was verified that the instruments used
for the evaluation of food consumption were
heterogeneous which makes it difficult to
compare the results found It is noteworthy
that only three studies evaluated the
consumption of non-alcoholic sugary drinks It
is relevant to evaluate this aspect in the
dietary pattern since studies have discussed
the possible association between the
consumption of sugary drinks and the BMI It
was pointed out in the literature review that 46 the overall index of non-alcoholic sugary
beverages consumption is high in the child and
adolescent population and that additional
studies especially follow-up studies should
be implemented to elucidate its effect on BMI
and health in general
It was verified that the majority of the
articles of this revision is international being
only two realized in Brazil In addition most
urban area surveys were carried out with only
one study covering urban and rural areas and
did not find significant differences in the
prevalence of overweight between the two
areas demonstrating that the nutritional
transition also affects children As a result
the hypothesis is that rural inhabitants have
more access to healthy foods such as fruits
and vegetables as well as having adequate
physical space for planting and growing
gardens and leisure activities in the air free
so they would be less likely to become
obese47 It is necessary in this sense to carry
out further investigations with this public for
a better understanding about the prevalence
of obesity and associated factors in children
residing in this area
The relationship in BMI and the dietary
pattern between mother and child in this
review was observed especially in urban
children These findings may support genetic
causation but environmental and family
components should be considered since
parents and the family environment are the
primary influences of life habits that children
tend to follow It is understood that family
practices such as food consumption absence
of physical activity hours in front of the
television or computer are examples that
directly influence the choices and
conditioning of the individual in relation to
habits of life48
Among the studies analyzed in this review
nine of them evaluated the socioeconomic
status of the participants and from these
one found a significant association between
the higher socioeconomic level and the lower
child BMI34 Evidence suggests that
socioeconomic status is an important element
associated with obesity although the existing
literature is not consensual There was a
direct association between higher family
income and obesity in schoolchildren 12
justifying that greater access to consumer
goods stimulates sedentariness such as
excessive use of the computer In addition
due to the higher purchasing power access to
an inadequate nutritional standard such as
the use of sugary drinks delicacies and
industrialized foods of high energy value49
t was found that more than half of the
studies 75 (n = 12) are of the transverse
type characterized as level 4 of scientific
evidence 19 (n = 3) are descriptive cohort
studies characterized as level 3 of evidence
and 6 (n = 1) are of systematic review
characterized as level 1 of evidence however
because they are not randomized controlled
clinical trials we can not extract causal
inferences34
It was found with regard to the
representativeness of the samples that 438
(n = 7) of the selected studies had sampling
for convenience It becomes impracticable to
state that the data from the studies analyzed
with non-randomized sampling represent a
population and representative and random
samples are essential from the point of view
of internal and external validity to ensure that

the information collected is extended to the
population50
The lack of studies evaluating the
relationship between nutritional status and
food consumption among children from five to
ten years old and their mothers especially in
rural environments shows that only two of
the articles evaluated in this review presented
it clearly It is known that the family directly
influences the health promotion practices or
the illness of its members since it plays a
fundamental role in the formation of values
beliefs knowledge and habits of life51
Therefore it is necessary in relation to
the factors associated with overweight in
children of longitudinal rural surveys that
assess the highest possible volume of variables
of the mother and child such as the
consumption of sugary drinks non-alcoholic
socioeconomic status BMI level of physical
activity favoring the analysis of the
determinants of this phenomenon of global
magnitude
It is concluded that the results of this
review do not show that nutritional status and
maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children considering that
in this research only one study was conducted
in rural areas and nevertheless it is an
international study that did not compare
maternal and child food consumption It is
therefore recommended to implement more
studies in the rural area mainly in Brazil on
this subject

Included in this review were 16 articles
that answered the question of the study of
which 12 are of cross-sectional design three
cohort and one systematic review It should
be emphasized that there is great variability
of the instruments and references used to
evaluate the nutritional status and eating
habits in the evaluated manuscripts It was
also found that the type of analysis of the
relationship between study variables is
heterogeneous (Figure 2)

varying from 116 to 84 among mothers and
from 216 to 51 among the children It is
mentioned that three studies did not present
the prevalence of overweight obesity of the
children evaluated242733 In one the mean Z
score for BMI age was 042 plusmn 119 for girls
and 073 plusmn 118 for boys33 It was shown in
two other studies that the average BMI was
202 plusmn 01 27 and another 192 plusmn 41 for public
school children and 191 plusmn 32 for private
school children24 Data on the dietary intake of
children in eleven studies were evaluated 23-
427-3336-7 but only eight of them evaluated
parental feeding and compared the
consumption of mother-infant dyads2831-2 and
also father-son2427293337
The questionnaires used to collect data
between the studies were differed It is
noticed that some authors30 used QUADA
version 3 which consists of an illustrated
questionnaire referring to the food
consumption of the previous day in a
qualitative way others32 used four questions
extracted from the Infant Feeding
Questionnaire and focused on maternal
behavior regarding the childs diet and two
questions regarding the frequency with which
the child had ingested non-alcoholic sugary
drinks in the last month Some authors have
used validated semiquantitative food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) Australian
Eating Survey (AES) for adults and Australian
Child and Adolescent Eating Survey (ACAES)
for children3336 others used the 24-hour food
recall 272931 as well as some authors who
used a structured questionnaire with
questions about the eating habits of children
and parents24 another group of authors used a
questionnaire on the consumption of fruit
vegetables and sugary drinks 28 and the
studies included in the review29 used FFQs and
or 24-hour food recall
t is exposed from the studies found in this
review that only two 2837 simultaneously
evaluated the relationship of BMI between
mother and child contemplating data on the
food consumption of both in urban
environment A total of 76 girls aged nine to
13 years and their mothers were evaluated
The higher the connectivity score in the
relationship between mother and daughter
the greater the similarity between their BMI
(p lt005)28 there was a significant similarity
in the consumption of fruits and vegetables by
children and their mothers (p = 001 and p
lt001 respectively) The childs eating habit
was also directly associated with this habit (p
lt0001) but there was no similarity relation
between the intake of sugary beverages by
the children and their mothers (pgt 005) In a
study of 172 Mexican children aged five to 12
years and their mothers it was found that
obese mothers had a significantly higher
proportion of obese children compared to
normal or overweight mothers [OR 155 (IC 95
18-132) p = 0003]37 However the state of
overweight and maternal obesity in a single
group was compared to the overweight and
obesity status of the children but no
statistical association was found The risk of
excessive energy consumption by their
daughters (p = 004) increased by 11 times the
mothers excessive energy consumption The
maternal lipid intake was associated with the
lipid intake of their sons and daughters (p
lt0001 and p = 0005 respectively) and the
mothers carbohydrate intake was associated
with their daughters consumption (p = 0004)
Increased sugar consumption by mothers
increased the risk of excessive sugar
consumption in their sons and daughters by
four to five times
In a study carried out in Brazil specifically
in a city in the center-west of Minas Gerais
the factors associated with infant BMI in 60
children between six and ten years old were
measured and the mothers obesity was found
as an independent variable associated with
excess (p = 0004) Of the children whose
mothers were obese 714 were overweight
versus 151 of those whose mothers were not
obese In this study the average daily intake
of breads (p = 003) and the lowest average
daily intake of yogurt (p = 0007) were
statistically significant with statistically
significant associations with the highest BMI of
the child The average daily intake of chip
snacks (p = 008) was also directly associated
with the highest infant BMI and the highest
average daily intake of ice creams (p = 009)
was indirectly associated with higher child
BMI without statistical significance Other
variables such as fathers obesity birth
weight breastfeeding and number of children
were evaluated however they were not
associated with the BMI of the child36
A follow-up study of 197 girls five years of
age was performed at the baseline until the
age of 13 and the prevalence of overweight
of the girls over time was evaluated It should
be noted that BMI change patterns were
higher than expected for normal growth
among daughters of overweight parents
compared with girls whose parents were not
overweight [mean weight gain 408 plusmn 133 kg
291 plusmn 62 kg respectively) p lt0001] It was
observed that girls from families in which only
mothers were overweight showed a faster rate
of increase in BMI over time compared to

those in which neither parent was overweight
(p lt005)
25 characteristics of parents associated
with obesity in children and adolescents were
examined in a study to better understand the
obesogenic family environment It was found
that mothers and fathers of obese youngsters
had significantly higher BMIs compared to
mothers and fathers of overweight children
[(Mothers 352 plusmn 96 kg m2 vs 276 plusmn 69 kg
m2 Parents 333 plusmn 84 kg m 2 vs 282 plusmn

obesity increased by 28 times the chance of
the child being obese until [p lt00001 95 CI
180-435] and as expected the
socioeconomic level did not differ significantly
among the participants since it is a
convenience sample whose sociodemographic
characteristics of families tend to be similar
In one study 26 risk factors for the
development of obesity in children in the
south-eastern region of Poland were assessed
It was found that maternal obesity was highly
associated with the presence of obesity in
children with a differential impact between
the sexes [OR 1428 (95 CI 1031-1979) p
lt0001] in girls and [OR 1675 (95 CI 1178-
2382) p lt00001) in boys Childrens obesity
was also significantly associated with paternal
obesity (p lt0001) however this relation is
higher with the mother It was found that
family income parental education level and
maternal occupation were not associated with
the presence of obesity in children and the
lower number of children living in the same
household was significantly associated with
childhood obesity (p lt005)
The early risk factors for obesity related to
the parents of 2025 Sicilian children aged nine
to 14 years living in urban and rural areas
were estimated38 Obese mothers had a
significantly higher prevalence of obese
children (329 vs 96 in normal weight
mothers p lt0005) The BMI of both fathers
and mothers was significantly correlated with
the BMI-z score (r = 027 and r = 025
respectively p lt00001) waist circumference
(r = 025 (r = 027 and p = 023 respectively
p lt00001) also adjusted for age and sex (p
lt005) There was also a significant
relationship between the level of parental
schooling and the childs weight status It was
inferred that when the mother or father had a
low level of schooling the prevalence of
childhood obesity was significantly higher than
when the parents had a high educational level
(p lt005) in addition overweight and obese
children had a significantly higher prevalence
of high birth weight (PN ge 4 kg) compared to
lean or normal-weight children (61 vs 31
p lt005) It was found that the prevalence of
high birth weight was significantly higher
among overweight and obese females (80 vs
37 p lt005) but no significant differences
were found between areas urban and rural
areas for BMI z scores for BMI and waist-to-
height ratio however children living in urban
areas had a significantly higher WC (748 plusmn
114 vs 733 plusmn 119 lt005) than children in
rural areas
A total of 1223 schoolchildren aged seven
to ten years 492 boys and 508 girls were
found and a significant relationship was
found between the nutritional status of the
children and the nutritional status of their
mothers30 It was observed that the
prevalence of overweight or obesity was 158
times higher among children of mothers who
were overweight (p = 0001) with no
significant difference between genders
revealing that approximately 849 of the
children had habits healthy diet but in this
investigation there was no significant
association between family income and
overweight
In a longitudinal study35 302 girls and 316
boys mean age of 45 years at baseline were
observed during a ten-year follow-up
Measurements of anthropometric
measurements were made at five moments
during the study and maternal obesity was a
predictor of the increase in overweight
obesity in girls (OR ranged from 248 to 863
p lt00001) and (OR ranged from 227 to 403
p lt00006) in boys at all time points
In another longitudinal study 34 32-year-old
Mexican American children aged eight to ten
years were followed for two years of follow-up
regarding the influence of parental feeding
practices on the childs weight and positive
correlation between BMI waist height ratio
of children and parental BMI both maternal
BMI and paternal BMI (p lt0001) The
socioeconomic level of the families was
associated with lower BMI and lower waist-to-
height ratio (r = -012 p lt005)
The influence of maternal food preferences
on childrens food preferences was
measured24 This study was carried out in a
public school and a private school comparing
therefore two groups from different social
strata It was observed that the mothers of
the public school students had a higher BMI
when compared to the mothers of the private
school (p lt00001) The preferences of the
children were more strongly associated with
maternal food preferences compared to the
paternal preferences for the following foods

rchild = 086) and fish (rmom = 076 rdad = 063

influenced their childrens food preferences by
30 and this association was stronger for
students in public schools both parents
influenced their children in regular
consumption of common refrigerant (rmom =
084 rdad= 081 rchild = 098)
The association between ingestion and
dietary pattern between parents and children
in a representative sample of the United
States was studied27 and it was found that the
adjusted correlations were significantly
stronger between mother-child dyads than
between parent-child dyads and when
comparing food intake among children and
their mothers a correlation was observed
between cholesterol intake (rson=047
rdaughter=031 plt 005) calcium and dairy
products (rson=030 rdaughter=030 plt 005)
fruits and vegetables (rson=031 rdaughter=037
plt 005) It is generally suggested from the
findings of this study that the similarity in
dietary intake between parents and children is
relatively weak (correlations ranged from 020
to 033 for total energy intake and diet) It
was increased in parents who ate healthy food
three times the likelihood of children also
having a healthy diet and the age of the child
significantly modified this relationship which
was higher for children aged between two and
ten years [OR 405 (95 CI 245-668) p
lt005] compared to those over the age of 10
[OR 155 (95 CI 101-2 36) p lt005] When

was determined in a study 31 assessing the
correlation between the quality of the
maternal diet and the childs diet The
maternal-infant scores of the diet quality
index were correlated with each other (r =
044 p lt00001) and more than half of the
children met the recommendations of total
grains milk and oils however only 6 of the
children met the recommendation of total
vegetables compared to 18 of the mothers
Children and mothers were significantly
different in the percentage of adequacy to
recommendations for fruits vegetables
whole grains milk and meat and beans It
should be noted that the quality of the infant
diet was better among those children with
longer breastfeeding children of white
mothers married and non-smokers however
BMI-Z score and BMI category were not
associated with quality of the childs diet
The comparison between the dietary intake
of the children and their respective parents
was found 33 and there were moderate
positive correlations between the father-child
dyads in relation to the percentages of energy
intake from fats saturated fats and
carbohydrates (r = 040-046 P lt005) while
the mother-infant dyads presented moderate
to moderate positive correlations for all
percentages of intake such as plant variety (r
= 040 p lt001) meat intake (r = 046 p
lt0001) except for carbohydrates (r = 027 p
lt005) besides strong correlations for the
general quality of the diet (r = 050 - 059)
The influence of maternal dietary practices
on the ingestion of non-alcoholic sugary drinks
in a sample of 1350 six-year-old children was
evaluated and 23 of children were found to
be overweight and consume these beverages
once a day and that regardless of the
nutritional status of the child children of
mothers who limited their consumption of
sweets and unhealthy foods were significantly
less likely to consume non-alcoholic
sweetened beverages (p lt005)32
In a systematic review with meta-analysis
29 the similarity in food intake of children and
their parents was found 24 studies published
in the period from 1980 to 2011 were
identified of which 15 were included in the
meta-regression analysis Significantly the
results of the studies were varied and
generally speaking weak to moderate
correlations were suggested for nutrient
intake between parents and children with a
mean correlation coefficient of 020 (95 CI
013- 028) and 021 (95 CI 018-024) for
total fat and energy respectively It is further
noted by the authors that associations for
these dietary items have become weaker over
the years It should be noted that food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) produced a
lower correlation than the 24-hour records or
reminders and the better methodological
quality of the studies showed a stronger
correlation in fat intake It is emphasized that
the majority of the studies that composed this
review was based on small non-representative
samples and about half of them were carried
out in the United States being scarce the
work done in underdeveloped countries
It is understood that the results of this
research do not show that nutritional status
and maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children It is added that

although the sample of the study population
varies between 60 and 4248 children totaling
13858 participants only one study was
carried out with rural children showing the
lack of research on the subject with the
mentioned public
The prevalence of overweight and
childhood obesity found in the studies in this
review varied between 216 and 51 It is
reported that a systematic review study 44
worldwide identified a substantial increase in
childhood obesity with 238 of boys and
226 of girls in developed countries being
overweight or obese In developing countries
prevalence of overweight and obesity
increased from 81 to 129 in 2013 for boys
and from 84 to 134 in girls
The methodology for collecting the
anthropometric data was used to calculate
the BMI between the studies The weight and
height measures of the children were obtained
by a majority of them (n = 13) through an
evaluation carried out by a trained
researcher In one of the selected studies
these measures were measured by the
respective mothers However it was noticed
that the anthropometric measurements of the
mothers were self-reported in more than half
of the studies (n = 9) Self-reported measures
may include outdated data errors lack of
knowledge or underreporting of overweight45
It was verified that the instruments used
for the evaluation of food consumption were
heterogeneous which makes it difficult to
compare the results found It is noteworthy
that only three studies evaluated the
consumption of non-alcoholic sugary drinks It
is relevant to evaluate this aspect in the
dietary pattern since studies have discussed
the possible association between the
consumption of sugary drinks and the BMI It
was pointed out in the literature review that 46 the overall index of non-alcoholic sugary
beverages consumption is high in the child and
adolescent population and that additional
studies especially follow-up studies should
be implemented to elucidate its effect on BMI
and health in general
It was verified that the majority of the
articles of this revision is international being
only two realized in Brazil In addition most
urban area surveys were carried out with only
one study covering urban and rural areas and
did not find significant differences in the
prevalence of overweight between the two
areas demonstrating that the nutritional
transition also affects children As a result
the hypothesis is that rural inhabitants have
more access to healthy foods such as fruits
and vegetables as well as having adequate
physical space for planting and growing
gardens and leisure activities in the air free
so they would be less likely to become
obese47 It is necessary in this sense to carry
out further investigations with this public for
a better understanding about the prevalence
of obesity and associated factors in children
residing in this area
The relationship in BMI and the dietary
pattern between mother and child in this
review was observed especially in urban
children These findings may support genetic
causation but environmental and family
components should be considered since
parents and the family environment are the
primary influences of life habits that children
tend to follow It is understood that family
practices such as food consumption absence
of physical activity hours in front of the
television or computer are examples that
directly influence the choices and
conditioning of the individual in relation to
habits of life48
Among the studies analyzed in this review
nine of them evaluated the socioeconomic
status of the participants and from these
one found a significant association between
the higher socioeconomic level and the lower
child BMI34 Evidence suggests that
socioeconomic status is an important element
associated with obesity although the existing
literature is not consensual There was a
direct association between higher family
income and obesity in schoolchildren 12
justifying that greater access to consumer
goods stimulates sedentariness such as
excessive use of the computer In addition
due to the higher purchasing power access to
an inadequate nutritional standard such as
the use of sugary drinks delicacies and
industrialized foods of high energy value49
t was found that more than half of the
studies 75 (n = 12) are of the transverse
type characterized as level 4 of scientific
evidence 19 (n = 3) are descriptive cohort
studies characterized as level 3 of evidence
and 6 (n = 1) are of systematic review
characterized as level 1 of evidence however
because they are not randomized controlled
clinical trials we can not extract causal
inferences34
It was found with regard to the
representativeness of the samples that 438
(n = 7) of the selected studies had sampling
for convenience It becomes impracticable to
state that the data from the studies analyzed
with non-randomized sampling represent a
population and representative and random
samples are essential from the point of view
of internal and external validity to ensure that

the information collected is extended to the
population50
The lack of studies evaluating the
relationship between nutritional status and
food consumption among children from five to
ten years old and their mothers especially in
rural environments shows that only two of
the articles evaluated in this review presented
it clearly It is known that the family directly
influences the health promotion practices or
the illness of its members since it plays a
fundamental role in the formation of values
beliefs knowledge and habits of life51
Therefore it is necessary in relation to
the factors associated with overweight in
children of longitudinal rural surveys that
assess the highest possible volume of variables
of the mother and child such as the
consumption of sugary drinks non-alcoholic
socioeconomic status BMI level of physical
activity favoring the analysis of the
determinants of this phenomenon of global
magnitude
It is concluded that the results of this
review do not show that nutritional status and
maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children considering that
in this research only one study was conducted
in rural areas and nevertheless it is an
international study that did not compare
maternal and child food consumption It is
therefore recommended to implement more
studies in the rural area mainly in Brazil on
this subject

varying from 116 to 84 among mothers and
from 216 to 51 among the children It is
mentioned that three studies did not present
the prevalence of overweight obesity of the
children evaluated242733 In one the mean Z
score for BMI age was 042 plusmn 119 for girls
and 073 plusmn 118 for boys33 It was shown in
two other studies that the average BMI was
202 plusmn 01 27 and another 192 plusmn 41 for public
school children and 191 plusmn 32 for private
school children24 Data on the dietary intake of
children in eleven studies were evaluated 23-
427-3336-7 but only eight of them evaluated
parental feeding and compared the
consumption of mother-infant dyads2831-2 and
also father-son2427293337
The questionnaires used to collect data
between the studies were differed It is
noticed that some authors30 used QUADA
version 3 which consists of an illustrated
questionnaire referring to the food
consumption of the previous day in a
qualitative way others32 used four questions
extracted from the Infant Feeding
Questionnaire and focused on maternal
behavior regarding the childs diet and two
questions regarding the frequency with which
the child had ingested non-alcoholic sugary
drinks in the last month Some authors have
used validated semiquantitative food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) Australian
Eating Survey (AES) for adults and Australian
Child and Adolescent Eating Survey (ACAES)
for children3336 others used the 24-hour food
recall 272931 as well as some authors who
used a structured questionnaire with
questions about the eating habits of children
and parents24 another group of authors used a
questionnaire on the consumption of fruit
vegetables and sugary drinks 28 and the
studies included in the review29 used FFQs and
or 24-hour food recall
t is exposed from the studies found in this
review that only two 2837 simultaneously
evaluated the relationship of BMI between
mother and child contemplating data on the
food consumption of both in urban
environment A total of 76 girls aged nine to
13 years and their mothers were evaluated
The higher the connectivity score in the
relationship between mother and daughter
the greater the similarity between their BMI
(p lt005)28 there was a significant similarity
in the consumption of fruits and vegetables by
children and their mothers (p = 001 and p
lt001 respectively) The childs eating habit
was also directly associated with this habit (p
lt0001) but there was no similarity relation
between the intake of sugary beverages by
the children and their mothers (pgt 005) In a
study of 172 Mexican children aged five to 12
years and their mothers it was found that
obese mothers had a significantly higher
proportion of obese children compared to
normal or overweight mothers [OR 155 (IC 95
18-132) p = 0003]37 However the state of
overweight and maternal obesity in a single
group was compared to the overweight and
obesity status of the children but no
statistical association was found The risk of
excessive energy consumption by their
daughters (p = 004) increased by 11 times the
mothers excessive energy consumption The
maternal lipid intake was associated with the
lipid intake of their sons and daughters (p
lt0001 and p = 0005 respectively) and the
mothers carbohydrate intake was associated
with their daughters consumption (p = 0004)
Increased sugar consumption by mothers
increased the risk of excessive sugar
consumption in their sons and daughters by
four to five times
In a study carried out in Brazil specifically
in a city in the center-west of Minas Gerais
the factors associated with infant BMI in 60
children between six and ten years old were
measured and the mothers obesity was found
as an independent variable associated with
excess (p = 0004) Of the children whose
mothers were obese 714 were overweight
versus 151 of those whose mothers were not
obese In this study the average daily intake
of breads (p = 003) and the lowest average
daily intake of yogurt (p = 0007) were
statistically significant with statistically
significant associations with the highest BMI of
the child The average daily intake of chip
snacks (p = 008) was also directly associated
with the highest infant BMI and the highest
average daily intake of ice creams (p = 009)
was indirectly associated with higher child
BMI without statistical significance Other
variables such as fathers obesity birth
weight breastfeeding and number of children
were evaluated however they were not
associated with the BMI of the child36
A follow-up study of 197 girls five years of
age was performed at the baseline until the
age of 13 and the prevalence of overweight
of the girls over time was evaluated It should
be noted that BMI change patterns were
higher than expected for normal growth
among daughters of overweight parents
compared with girls whose parents were not
overweight [mean weight gain 408 plusmn 133 kg
291 plusmn 62 kg respectively) p lt0001] It was
observed that girls from families in which only
mothers were overweight showed a faster rate
of increase in BMI over time compared to

those in which neither parent was overweight
(p lt005)
25 characteristics of parents associated
with obesity in children and adolescents were
examined in a study to better understand the
obesogenic family environment It was found
that mothers and fathers of obese youngsters
had significantly higher BMIs compared to
mothers and fathers of overweight children
[(Mothers 352 plusmn 96 kg m2 vs 276 plusmn 69 kg

obesity increased by 28 times the chance of
the child being obese until [p lt00001 95 CI
180-435] and as expected the
socioeconomic level did not differ significantly
among the participants since it is a
convenience sample whose sociodemographic
characteristics of families tend to be similar
In one study 26 risk factors for the
development of obesity in children in the
south-eastern region of Poland were assessed
It was found that maternal obesity was highly
associated with the presence of obesity in
children with a differential impact between
the sexes [OR 1428 (95 CI 1031-1979) p
lt0001] in girls and [OR 1675 (95 CI 1178-
2382) p lt00001) in boys Childrens obesity
was also significantly associated with paternal
obesity (p lt0001) however this relation is
higher with the mother It was found that
family income parental education level and
maternal occupation were not associated with
the presence of obesity in children and the
lower number of children living in the same
household was significantly associated with
childhood obesity (p lt005)
The early risk factors for obesity related to
the parents of 2025 Sicilian children aged nine
to 14 years living in urban and rural areas
were estimated38 Obese mothers had a
significantly higher prevalence of obese
children (329 vs 96 in normal weight
mothers p lt0005) The BMI of both fathers
and mothers was significantly correlated with
the BMI-z score (r = 027 and r = 025
respectively p lt00001) waist circumference
(r = 025 (r = 027 and p = 023 respectively
p lt00001) also adjusted for age and sex (p
lt005) There was also a significant
relationship between the level of parental
schooling and the childs weight status It was
inferred that when the mother or father had a
low level of schooling the prevalence of
childhood obesity was significantly higher than
when the parents had a high educational level
(p lt005) in addition overweight and obese
children had a significantly higher prevalence
of high birth weight (PN ge 4 kg) compared to
lean or normal-weight children (61 vs 31
p lt005) It was found that the prevalence of
high birth weight was significantly higher
among overweight and obese females (80 vs
37 p lt005) but no significant differences
were found between areas urban and rural
areas for BMI z scores for BMI and waist-to-
height ratio however children living in urban
areas had a significantly higher WC (748 plusmn
114 vs 733 plusmn 119 lt005) than children in
rural areas
A total of 1223 schoolchildren aged seven
to ten years 492 boys and 508 girls were
found and a significant relationship was
found between the nutritional status of the
children and the nutritional status of their
mothers30 It was observed that the
prevalence of overweight or obesity was 158
times higher among children of mothers who
were overweight (p = 0001) with no
significant difference between genders
revealing that approximately 849 of the
children had habits healthy diet but in this
investigation there was no significant
association between family income and
overweight
In a longitudinal study35 302 girls and 316
boys mean age of 45 years at baseline were
observed during a ten-year follow-up
Measurements of anthropometric
measurements were made at five moments
during the study and maternal obesity was a
predictor of the increase in overweight
obesity in girls (OR ranged from 248 to 863
p lt00001) and (OR ranged from 227 to 403
p lt00006) in boys at all time points
In another longitudinal study 34 32-year-old
Mexican American children aged eight to ten
years were followed for two years of follow-up
regarding the influence of parental feeding
practices on the childs weight and positive
correlation between BMI waist height ratio
of children and parental BMI both maternal
BMI and paternal BMI (p lt0001) The
socioeconomic level of the families was
associated with lower BMI and lower waist-to-
height ratio (r = -012 p lt005)
The influence of maternal food preferences
on childrens food preferences was
measured24 This study was carried out in a
public school and a private school comparing
therefore two groups from different social
strata It was observed that the mothers of
the public school students had a higher BMI
when compared to the mothers of the private
school (p lt00001) The preferences of the
children were more strongly associated with
maternal food preferences compared to the
paternal preferences for the following foods

rchild = 086) and fish (rmom = 076 rdad = 063

influenced their childrens food preferences by
30 and this association was stronger for
students in public schools both parents
influenced their children in regular
consumption of common refrigerant (rmom =
084 rdad= 081 rchild = 098)
The association between ingestion and
dietary pattern between parents and children
in a representative sample of the United
States was studied27 and it was found that the
adjusted correlations were significantly
stronger between mother-child dyads than
between parent-child dyads and when
comparing food intake among children and
their mothers a correlation was observed
between cholesterol intake (rson=047
rdaughter=031 plt 005) calcium and dairy
products (rson=030 rdaughter=030 plt 005)
fruits and vegetables (rson=031 rdaughter=037
plt 005) It is generally suggested from the
findings of this study that the similarity in
dietary intake between parents and children is
relatively weak (correlations ranged from 020
to 033 for total energy intake and diet) It
was increased in parents who ate healthy food
three times the likelihood of children also
having a healthy diet and the age of the child
significantly modified this relationship which
was higher for children aged between two and
ten years [OR 405 (95 CI 245-668) p
lt005] compared to those over the age of 10
[OR 155 (95 CI 101-2 36) p lt005] When
the socioeconomic level was considered it
was only an interaction for the consumption of
diet soda with a significant correlation
between parents and children of better social
class (r = 031 p lt005)
The quality of the diet of preschool
children and their mothers with overweight
was determined in a study 31 assessing the
correlation between the quality of the
maternal diet and the childs diet The
maternal-infant scores of the diet quality
index were correlated with each other (r =
044 p lt00001) and more than half of the
children met the recommendations of total
grains milk and oils however only 6 of the
children met the recommendation of total
vegetables compared to 18 of the mothers
Children and mothers were significantly
different in the percentage of adequacy to
recommendations for fruits vegetables
whole grains milk and meat and beans It
should be noted that the quality of the infant
diet was better among those children with
longer breastfeeding children of white
mothers married and non-smokers however
BMI-Z score and BMI category were not
associated with quality of the childs diet
The comparison between the dietary intake
of the children and their respective parents
was found 33 and there were moderate
positive correlations between the father-child
dyads in relation to the percentages of energy
intake from fats saturated fats and
carbohydrates (r = 040-046 P lt005) while
the mother-infant dyads presented moderate
to moderate positive correlations for all
percentages of intake such as plant variety (r
= 040 p lt001) meat intake (r = 046 p
lt0001) except for carbohydrates (r = 027 p
lt005) besides strong correlations for the
general quality of the diet (r = 050 - 059)
The influence of maternal dietary practices
on the ingestion of non-alcoholic sugary drinks
in a sample of 1350 six-year-old children was
evaluated and 23 of children were found to
be overweight and consume these beverages
once a day and that regardless of the
nutritional status of the child children of
mothers who limited their consumption of
sweets and unhealthy foods were significantly
less likely to consume non-alcoholic
sweetened beverages (p lt005)32
In a systematic review with meta-analysis
29 the similarity in food intake of children and
their parents was found 24 studies published
in the period from 1980 to 2011 were
identified of which 15 were included in the
meta-regression analysis Significantly the
results of the studies were varied and
generally speaking weak to moderate
correlations were suggested for nutrient
intake between parents and children with a
mean correlation coefficient of 020 (95 CI
013- 028) and 021 (95 CI 018-024) for
total fat and energy respectively It is further
noted by the authors that associations for
these dietary items have become weaker over
the years It should be noted that food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) produced a
lower correlation than the 24-hour records or
reminders and the better methodological
quality of the studies showed a stronger
correlation in fat intake It is emphasized that
the majority of the studies that composed this
review was based on small non-representative
samples and about half of them were carried
out in the United States being scarce the
work done in underdeveloped countries
It is understood that the results of this
research do not show that nutritional status
and maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children It is added that

although the sample of the study population
varies between 60 and 4248 children totaling
13858 participants only one study was
carried out with rural children showing the
lack of research on the subject with the
mentioned public
The prevalence of overweight and
childhood obesity found in the studies in this
review varied between 216 and 51 It is
reported that a systematic review study 44
worldwide identified a substantial increase in
childhood obesity with 238 of boys and
226 of girls in developed countries being
overweight or obese In developing countries
prevalence of overweight and obesity
increased from 81 to 129 in 2013 for boys
and from 84 to 134 in girls
The methodology for collecting the
anthropometric data was used to calculate
the BMI between the studies The weight and
height measures of the children were obtained
by a majority of them (n = 13) through an
evaluation carried out by a trained
researcher In one of the selected studies
these measures were measured by the
respective mothers However it was noticed
that the anthropometric measurements of the
mothers were self-reported in more than half
of the studies (n = 9) Self-reported measures
may include outdated data errors lack of
knowledge or underreporting of overweight45
It was verified that the instruments used
for the evaluation of food consumption were
heterogeneous which makes it difficult to
compare the results found It is noteworthy
that only three studies evaluated the
consumption of non-alcoholic sugary drinks It
is relevant to evaluate this aspect in the
dietary pattern since studies have discussed
the possible association between the
consumption of sugary drinks and the BMI It
was pointed out in the literature review that 46 the overall index of non-alcoholic sugary
beverages consumption is high in the child and
adolescent population and that additional
studies especially follow-up studies should
be implemented to elucidate its effect on BMI
and health in general
It was verified that the majority of the
articles of this revision is international being
only two realized in Brazil In addition most
urban area surveys were carried out with only
one study covering urban and rural areas and
did not find significant differences in the
prevalence of overweight between the two
areas demonstrating that the nutritional
transition also affects children As a result
the hypothesis is that rural inhabitants have
more access to healthy foods such as fruits
and vegetables as well as having adequate
physical space for planting and growing
gardens and leisure activities in the air free
so they would be less likely to become
obese47 It is necessary in this sense to carry
out further investigations with this public for
a better understanding about the prevalence
of obesity and associated factors in children
residing in this area
The relationship in BMI and the dietary
pattern between mother and child in this
review was observed especially in urban
children These findings may support genetic
causation but environmental and family
components should be considered since
parents and the family environment are the
primary influences of life habits that children
tend to follow It is understood that family
practices such as food consumption absence
of physical activity hours in front of the
television or computer are examples that
directly influence the choices and
conditioning of the individual in relation to
habits of life48
Among the studies analyzed in this review
nine of them evaluated the socioeconomic
status of the participants and from these
one found a significant association between
the higher socioeconomic level and the lower
child BMI34 Evidence suggests that
socioeconomic status is an important element
associated with obesity although the existing
literature is not consensual There was a
direct association between higher family
income and obesity in schoolchildren 12
justifying that greater access to consumer
goods stimulates sedentariness such as
excessive use of the computer In addition
due to the higher purchasing power access to
an inadequate nutritional standard such as
the use of sugary drinks delicacies and
industrialized foods of high energy value49
t was found that more than half of the
studies 75 (n = 12) are of the transverse
type characterized as level 4 of scientific
evidence 19 (n = 3) are descriptive cohort
studies characterized as level 3 of evidence
and 6 (n = 1) are of systematic review
characterized as level 1 of evidence however
because they are not randomized controlled
clinical trials we can not extract causal
inferences34
It was found with regard to the
representativeness of the samples that 438
(n = 7) of the selected studies had sampling
for convenience It becomes impracticable to
state that the data from the studies analyzed
with non-randomized sampling represent a
population and representative and random
samples are essential from the point of view
of internal and external validity to ensure that

ten years old and their mothers especially in
rural environments shows that only two of
the articles evaluated in this review presented
it clearly It is known that the family directly
influences the health promotion practices or
the illness of its members since it plays a
fundamental role in the formation of values
beliefs knowledge and habits of life51
Therefore it is necessary in relation to
the factors associated with overweight in
children of longitudinal rural surveys that
assess the highest possible volume of variables
of the mother and child such as the
consumption of sugary drinks non-alcoholic
socioeconomic status BMI level of physical
activity favoring the analysis of the
determinants of this phenomenon of global
magnitude
It is concluded that the results of this
review do not show that nutritional status and
maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children considering that
in this research only one study was conducted
in rural areas and nevertheless it is an
international study that did not compare
maternal and child food consumption It is
therefore recommended to implement more
studies in the rural area mainly in Brazil on
this subject

varying from 116 to 84 among mothers and
from 216 to 51 among the children It is
mentioned that three studies did not present
the prevalence of overweight obesity of the
children evaluated242733 In one the mean Z
score for BMI age was 042 plusmn 119 for girls
and 073 plusmn 118 for boys33 It was shown in
two other studies that the average BMI was
202 plusmn 01 27 and another 192 plusmn 41 for public
school children and 191 plusmn 32 for private
school children24 Data on the dietary intake of
children in eleven studies were evaluated 23-
427-3336-7 but only eight of them evaluated
parental feeding and compared the
consumption of mother-infant dyads2831-2 and
also father-son2427293337
The questionnaires used to collect data
between the studies were differed It is
noticed that some authors30 used QUADA
version 3 which consists of an illustrated
questionnaire referring to the food
consumption of the previous day in a
qualitative way others32 used four questions
extracted from the Infant Feeding
Questionnaire and focused on maternal
behavior regarding the childs diet and two
questions regarding the frequency with which
the child had ingested non-alcoholic sugary
drinks in the last month Some authors have
used validated semiquantitative food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) Australian
Eating Survey (AES) for adults and Australian
Child and Adolescent Eating Survey (ACAES)
for children3336 others used the 24-hour food
recall 272931 as well as some authors who
used a structured questionnaire with
questions about the eating habits of children
and parents24 another group of authors used a
questionnaire on the consumption of fruit
vegetables and sugary drinks 28 and the
studies included in the review29 used FFQs and
or 24-hour food recall
t is exposed from the studies found in this
review that only two 2837 simultaneously
evaluated the relationship of BMI between
mother and child contemplating data on the
food consumption of both in urban
environment A total of 76 girls aged nine to
13 years and their mothers were evaluated
The higher the connectivity score in the
relationship between mother and daughter
the greater the similarity between their BMI
(p lt005)28 there was a significant similarity
in the consumption of fruits and vegetables by
children and their mothers (p = 001 and p
lt001 respectively) The childs eating habit
was also directly associated with this habit (p
lt0001) but there was no similarity relation
between the intake of sugary beverages by
the children and their mothers (pgt 005) In a
study of 172 Mexican children aged five to 12
years and their mothers it was found that
obese mothers had a significantly higher
proportion of obese children compared to
normal or overweight mothers [OR 155 (IC 95
18-132) p = 0003]37 However the state of
overweight and maternal obesity in a single
group was compared to the overweight and
obesity status of the children but no
statistical association was found The risk of
excessive energy consumption by their
daughters (p = 004) increased by 11 times the
mothers excessive energy consumption The
maternal lipid intake was associated with the
lipid intake of their sons and daughters (p
lt0001 and p = 0005 respectively) and the
mothers carbohydrate intake was associated
with their daughters consumption (p = 0004)
Increased sugar consumption by mothers
increased the risk of excessive sugar
consumption in their sons and daughters by
four to five times
In a study carried out in Brazil specifically
in a city in the center-west of Minas Gerais
the factors associated with infant BMI in 60
children between six and ten years old were
measured and the mothers obesity was found
as an independent variable associated with
excess (p = 0004) Of the children whose
mothers were obese 714 were overweight
versus 151 of those whose mothers were not
obese In this study the average daily intake
of breads (p = 003) and the lowest average
daily intake of yogurt (p = 0007) were
statistically significant with statistically
significant associations with the highest BMI of
the child The average daily intake of chip
snacks (p = 008) was also directly associated
with the highest infant BMI and the highest
average daily intake of ice creams (p = 009)
was indirectly associated with higher child
BMI without statistical significance Other
variables such as fathers obesity birth
weight breastfeeding and number of children
were evaluated however they were not
associated with the BMI of the child36
A follow-up study of 197 girls five years of
age was performed at the baseline until the
age of 13 and the prevalence of overweight
of the girls over time was evaluated It should
be noted that BMI change patterns were
higher than expected for normal growth
among daughters of overweight parents
compared with girls whose parents were not
overweight [mean weight gain 408 plusmn 133 kg
291 plusmn 62 kg respectively) p lt0001] It was
observed that girls from families in which only
mothers were overweight showed a faster rate
of increase in BMI over time compared to

those in which neither parent was overweight
(p lt005)
25 characteristics of parents associated
with obesity in children and adolescents were
examined in a study to better understand the
obesogenic family environment It was found
that mothers and fathers of obese youngsters
had significantly higher BMIs compared to
mothers and fathers of overweight children
[(Mothers 352 plusmn 96 kg m2 vs 276 plusmn 69 kg
m2 Parents 333 plusmn 84 kg m 2 vs 282 plusmn
47 kg m 2 of youngsters with and without
overweight respectively) p lt0001] Maternal
obesity increased by 28 times the chance of
the child being obese until [p lt00001 95 CI
180-435] and as expected the
socioeconomic level did not differ significantly
among the participants since it is a
convenience sample whose sociodemographic
characteristics of families tend to be similar
In one study 26 risk factors for the
development of obesity in children in the
south-eastern region of Poland were assessed
It was found that maternal obesity was highly
associated with the presence of obesity in
children with a differential impact between
the sexes [OR 1428 (95 CI 1031-1979) p
lt0001] in girls and [OR 1675 (95 CI 1178-
2382) p lt00001) in boys Childrens obesity
was also significantly associated with paternal
obesity (p lt0001) however this relation is
higher with the mother It was found that
family income parental education level and
maternal occupation were not associated with
the presence of obesity in children and the
lower number of children living in the same
household was significantly associated with
childhood obesity (p lt005)
The early risk factors for obesity related to
the parents of 2025 Sicilian children aged nine
to 14 years living in urban and rural areas
were estimated38 Obese mothers had a
significantly higher prevalence of obese
children (329 vs 96 in normal weight
mothers p lt0005) The BMI of both fathers
and mothers was significantly correlated with
the BMI-z score (r = 027 and r = 025
respectively p lt00001) waist circumference
(r = 025 (r = 027 and p = 023 respectively
p lt00001) also adjusted for age and sex (p
lt005) There was also a significant
relationship between the level of parental
schooling and the childs weight status It was
inferred that when the mother or father had a
low level of schooling the prevalence of
childhood obesity was significantly higher than
when the parents had a high educational level
(p lt005) in addition overweight and obese
children had a significantly higher prevalence
of high birth weight (PN ge 4 kg) compared to
lean or normal-weight children (61 vs 31
p lt005) It was found that the prevalence of
high birth weight was significantly higher
among overweight and obese females (80 vs
37 p lt005) but no significant differences
were found between areas urban and rural
areas for BMI z scores for BMI and waist-to-
height ratio however children living in urban
areas had a significantly higher WC (748 plusmn
114 vs 733 plusmn 119 lt005) than children in
rural areas
A total of 1223 schoolchildren aged seven
to ten years 492 boys and 508 girls were
found and a significant relationship was
found between the nutritional status of the
children and the nutritional status of their
mothers30 It was observed that the
prevalence of overweight or obesity was 158
times higher among children of mothers who
were overweight (p = 0001) with no
significant difference between genders
revealing that approximately 849 of the
children had habits healthy diet but in this
investigation there was no significant
association between family income and
overweight
In a longitudinal study35 302 girls and 316
boys mean age of 45 years at baseline were
observed during a ten-year follow-up
Measurements of anthropometric
measurements were made at five moments
during the study and maternal obesity was a
predictor of the increase in overweight
obesity in girls (OR ranged from 248 to 863
p lt00001) and (OR ranged from 227 to 403
p lt00006) in boys at all time points
In another longitudinal study 34 32-year-old
Mexican American children aged eight to ten
years were followed for two years of follow-up
regarding the influence of parental feeding
practices on the childs weight and positive
correlation between BMI waist height ratio
of children and parental BMI both maternal
BMI and paternal BMI (p lt0001) The
socioeconomic level of the families was
associated with lower BMI and lower waist-to-
height ratio (r = -012 p lt005)
The influence of maternal food preferences
on childrens food preferences was
measured24 This study was carried out in a
public school and a private school comparing
therefore two groups from different social
strata It was observed that the mothers of
the public school students had a higher BMI
when compared to the mothers of the private
school (p lt00001) The preferences of the
children were more strongly associated with
maternal food preferences compared to the
paternal preferences for the following foods

rchild = 086) and fish (rmom = 076 rdad = 063

influenced their childrens food preferences by
30 and this association was stronger for
students in public schools both parents
influenced their children in regular
consumption of common refrigerant (rmom =
084 rdad= 081 rchild = 098)
The association between ingestion and
dietary pattern between parents and children
in a representative sample of the United
States was studied27 and it was found that the
adjusted correlations were significantly
stronger between mother-child dyads than
between parent-child dyads and when
comparing food intake among children and
their mothers a correlation was observed
between cholesterol intake (rson=047
rdaughter=031 plt 005) calcium and dairy
products (rson=030 rdaughter=030 plt 005)
fruits and vegetables (rson=031 rdaughter=037
plt 005) It is generally suggested from the
findings of this study that the similarity in
dietary intake between parents and children is
relatively weak (correlations ranged from 020
to 033 for total energy intake and diet) It
was increased in parents who ate healthy food
three times the likelihood of children also
having a healthy diet and the age of the child
significantly modified this relationship which
was higher for children aged between two and
ten years [OR 405 (95 CI 245-668) p
lt005] compared to those over the age of 10
[OR 155 (95 CI 101-2 36) p lt005] When
the socioeconomic level was considered it
was only an interaction for the consumption of
diet soda with a significant correlation
between parents and children of better social
class (r = 031 p lt005)
The quality of the diet of preschool
children and their mothers with overweight
was determined in a study 31 assessing the
correlation between the quality of the
maternal diet and the childs diet The
maternal-infant scores of the diet quality
index were correlated with each other (r =
044 p lt00001) and more than half of the
children met the recommendations of total
grains milk and oils however only 6 of the
children met the recommendation of total
vegetables compared to 18 of the mothers
Children and mothers were significantly
different in the percentage of adequacy to
recommendations for fruits vegetables
whole grains milk and meat and beans It
should be noted that the quality of the infant
diet was better among those children with
longer breastfeeding children of white
mothers married and non-smokers however
BMI-Z score and BMI category were not
associated with quality of the childs diet
The comparison between the dietary intake
of the children and their respective parents
was found 33 and there were moderate
positive correlations between the father-child
dyads in relation to the percentages of energy
intake from fats saturated fats and
carbohydrates (r = 040-046 P lt005) while
the mother-infant dyads presented moderate
to moderate positive correlations for all
percentages of intake such as plant variety (r
= 040 p lt001) meat intake (r = 046 p
lt0001) except for carbohydrates (r = 027 p
lt005) besides strong correlations for the
general quality of the diet (r = 050 - 059)
The influence of maternal dietary practices
on the ingestion of non-alcoholic sugary drinks
in a sample of 1350 six-year-old children was
evaluated and 23 of children were found to
be overweight and consume these beverages
once a day and that regardless of the
nutritional status of the child children of
mothers who limited their consumption of
sweets and unhealthy foods were significantly
less likely to consume non-alcoholic
sweetened beverages (p lt005)32
In a systematic review with meta-analysis
29 the similarity in food intake of children and
their parents was found 24 studies published
in the period from 1980 to 2011 were
identified of which 15 were included in the
meta-regression analysis Significantly the
results of the studies were varied and
generally speaking weak to moderate
correlations were suggested for nutrient
intake between parents and children with a
mean correlation coefficient of 020 (95 CI
013- 028) and 021 (95 CI 018-024) for
total fat and energy respectively It is further
noted by the authors that associations for
these dietary items have become weaker over
the years It should be noted that food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) produced a
lower correlation than the 24-hour records or
reminders and the better methodological
quality of the studies showed a stronger
correlation in fat intake It is emphasized that
the majority of the studies that composed this
review was based on small non-representative
samples and about half of them were carried
out in the United States being scarce the
work done in underdeveloped countries
It is understood that the results of this
research do not show that nutritional status
and maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children It is added that

although the sample of the study population
varies between 60 and 4248 children totaling
13858 participants only one study was
carried out with rural children showing the
lack of research on the subject with the
mentioned public
The prevalence of overweight and
childhood obesity found in the studies in this
review varied between 216 and 51 It is
reported that a systematic review study 44
worldwide identified a substantial increase in
childhood obesity with 238 of boys and
226 of girls in developed countries being
overweight or obese In developing countries
prevalence of overweight and obesity
increased from 81 to 129 in 2013 for boys
and from 84 to 134 in girls
The methodology for collecting the
anthropometric data was used to calculate
the BMI between the studies The weight and
height measures of the children were obtained
by a majority of them (n = 13) through an
evaluation carried out by a trained
researcher In one of the selected studies
these measures were measured by the
respective mothers However it was noticed
that the anthropometric measurements of the
mothers were self-reported in more than half
of the studies (n = 9) Self-reported measures
may include outdated data errors lack of
knowledge or underreporting of overweight45
It was verified that the instruments used
for the evaluation of food consumption were
heterogeneous which makes it difficult to
compare the results found It is noteworthy
that only three studies evaluated the
consumption of non-alcoholic sugary drinks It
is relevant to evaluate this aspect in the
dietary pattern since studies have discussed
the possible association between the
consumption of sugary drinks and the BMI It
was pointed out in the literature review that 46 the overall index of non-alcoholic sugary
beverages consumption is high in the child and
adolescent population and that additional
studies especially follow-up studies should
be implemented to elucidate its effect on BMI
and health in general
It was verified that the majority of the
articles of this revision is international being
only two realized in Brazil In addition most
urban area surveys were carried out with only
one study covering urban and rural areas and
did not find significant differences in the
prevalence of overweight between the two
areas demonstrating that the nutritional
transition also affects children As a result
the hypothesis is that rural inhabitants have
more access to healthy foods such as fruits
and vegetables as well as having adequate
physical space for planting and growing
gardens and leisure activities in the air free
so they would be less likely to become
obese47 It is necessary in this sense to carry
out further investigations with this public for
a better understanding about the prevalence
of obesity and associated factors in children
residing in this area
The relationship in BMI and the dietary
pattern between mother and child in this
review was observed especially in urban
children These findings may support genetic
causation but environmental and family
components should be considered since
parents and the family environment are the
primary influences of life habits that children
tend to follow It is understood that family
practices such as food consumption absence
of physical activity hours in front of the
television or computer are examples that
directly influence the choices and
conditioning of the individual in relation to
habits of life48
Among the studies analyzed in this review
nine of them evaluated the socioeconomic
status of the participants and from these
one found a significant association between
the higher socioeconomic level and the lower
child BMI34 Evidence suggests that
socioeconomic status is an important element
associated with obesity although the existing
literature is not consensual There was a
direct association between higher family
income and obesity in schoolchildren 12
justifying that greater access to consumer
goods stimulates sedentariness such as
excessive use of the computer In addition
due to the higher purchasing power access to
an inadequate nutritional standard such as
the use of sugary drinks delicacies and
industrialized foods of high energy value49
t was found that more than half of the
studies 75 (n = 12) are of the transverse
type characterized as level 4 of scientific
evidence 19 (n = 3) are descriptive cohort
studies characterized as level 3 of evidence
and 6 (n = 1) are of systematic review
characterized as level 1 of evidence however
because they are not randomized controlled
clinical trials we can not extract causal
inferences34
It was found with regard to the
representativeness of the samples that 438
(n = 7) of the selected studies had sampling
for convenience It becomes impracticable to
state that the data from the studies analyzed
with non-randomized sampling represent a
population and representative and random
samples are essential from the point of view
of internal and external validity to ensure that

the information collected is extended to the
population50
The lack of studies evaluating the
relationship between nutritional status and
food consumption among children from five to
ten years old and their mothers especially in
rural environments shows that only two of
the articles evaluated in this review presented
it clearly It is known that the family directly
influences the health promotion practices or
the illness of its members since it plays a
fundamental role in the formation of values
beliefs knowledge and habits of life51
Therefore it is necessary in relation to
the factors associated with overweight in
children of longitudinal rural surveys that
assess the highest possible volume of variables
of the mother and child such as the
consumption of sugary drinks non-alcoholic
socioeconomic status BMI level of physical
activity favoring the analysis of the
determinants of this phenomenon of global
magnitude
It is concluded that the results of this
review do not show that nutritional status and
maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children considering that
in this research only one study was conducted
in rural areas and nevertheless it is an
international study that did not compare
maternal and child food consumption It is
therefore recommended to implement more
studies in the rural area mainly in Brazil on
this subject

varying from 116 to 84 among mothers and
from 216 to 51 among the children It is
mentioned that three studies did not present
the prevalence of overweight obesity of the
children evaluated242733 In one the mean Z
score for BMI age was 042 plusmn 119 for girls
and 073 plusmn 118 for boys33 It was shown in
two other studies that the average BMI was
202 plusmn 01 27 and another 192 plusmn 41 for public
school children and 191 plusmn 32 for private
school children24 Data on the dietary intake of
children in eleven studies were evaluated 23-
427-3336-7 but only eight of them evaluated
parental feeding and compared the
consumption of mother-infant dyads2831-2 and
also father-son2427293337
The questionnaires used to collect data
between the studies were differed It is
noticed that some authors30 used QUADA
version 3 which consists of an illustrated
questionnaire referring to the food
consumption of the previous day in a
qualitative way others32 used four questions
extracted from the Infant Feeding
Questionnaire and focused on maternal
behavior regarding the childs diet and two
questions regarding the frequency with which
the child had ingested non-alcoholic sugary
drinks in the last month Some authors have
used validated semiquantitative food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) Australian
Eating Survey (AES) for adults and Australian
Child and Adolescent Eating Survey (ACAES)
for children3336 others used the 24-hour food
recall 272931 as well as some authors who
used a structured questionnaire with
questions about the eating habits of children
and parents24 another group of authors used a
questionnaire on the consumption of fruit
vegetables and sugary drinks 28 and the
studies included in the review29 used FFQs and
or 24-hour food recall
t is exposed from the studies found in this
review that only two 2837 simultaneously
evaluated the relationship of BMI between
mother and child contemplating data on the
food consumption of both in urban
environment A total of 76 girls aged nine to
13 years and their mothers were evaluated
The higher the connectivity score in the
relationship between mother and daughter
the greater the similarity between their BMI
(p lt005)28 there was a significant similarity
in the consumption of fruits and vegetables by
children and their mothers (p = 001 and p
lt001 respectively) The childs eating habit
was also directly associated with this habit (p
lt0001) but there was no similarity relation
between the intake of sugary beverages by
the children and their mothers (pgt 005) In a
study of 172 Mexican children aged five to 12
years and their mothers it was found that
obese mothers had a significantly higher
proportion of obese children compared to
normal or overweight mothers [OR 155 (IC 95
18-132) p = 0003]37 However the state of
overweight and maternal obesity in a single
group was compared to the overweight and
obesity status of the children but no
statistical association was found The risk of
excessive energy consumption by their
daughters (p = 004) increased by 11 times the
mothers excessive energy consumption The
maternal lipid intake was associated with the
lipid intake of their sons and daughters (p
lt0001 and p = 0005 respectively) and the
mothers carbohydrate intake was associated
with their daughters consumption (p = 0004)
Increased sugar consumption by mothers
increased the risk of excessive sugar
consumption in their sons and daughters by
four to five times
In a study carried out in Brazil specifically
in a city in the center-west of Minas Gerais
the factors associated with infant BMI in 60
children between six and ten years old were
measured and the mothers obesity was found
as an independent variable associated with
excess (p = 0004) Of the children whose
mothers were obese 714 were overweight
versus 151 of those whose mothers were not
obese In this study the average daily intake
of breads (p = 003) and the lowest average
daily intake of yogurt (p = 0007) were
statistically significant with statistically
significant associations with the highest BMI of
the child The average daily intake of chip
snacks (p = 008) was also directly associated
with the highest infant BMI and the highest
average daily intake of ice creams (p = 009)
was indirectly associated with higher child
BMI without statistical significance Other
variables such as fathers obesity birth
weight breastfeeding and number of children
were evaluated however they were not
associated with the BMI of the child36
A follow-up study of 197 girls five years of
age was performed at the baseline until the
age of 13 and the prevalence of overweight
of the girls over time was evaluated It should
be noted that BMI change patterns were
higher than expected for normal growth
among daughters of overweight parents
compared with girls whose parents were not
overweight [mean weight gain 408 plusmn 133 kg
291 plusmn 62 kg respectively) p lt0001] It was
observed that girls from families in which only
mothers were overweight showed a faster rate
of increase in BMI over time compared to

those in which neither parent was overweight
(p lt005)
25 characteristics of parents associated
with obesity in children and adolescents were
examined in a study to better understand the
obesogenic family environment It was found
that mothers and fathers of obese youngsters
had significantly higher BMIs compared to
mothers and fathers of overweight children
[(Mothers 352 plusmn 96 kg m2 vs 276 plusmn 69 kg
m2 Parents 333 plusmn 84 kg m 2 vs 282 plusmn

obesity increased by 28 times the chance of
the child being obese until [p lt00001 95 CI
180-435] and as expected the
socioeconomic level did not differ significantly
among the participants since it is a
convenience sample whose sociodemographic
characteristics of families tend to be similar
In one study 26 risk factors for the
development of obesity in children in the
south-eastern region of Poland were assessed
It was found that maternal obesity was highly
associated with the presence of obesity in
children with a differential impact between
the sexes [OR 1428 (95 CI 1031-1979) p
lt0001] in girls and [OR 1675 (95 CI 1178-
2382) p lt00001) in boys Childrens obesity
was also significantly associated with paternal
obesity (p lt0001) however this relation is
higher with the mother It was found that
family income parental education level and
maternal occupation were not associated with
the presence of obesity in children and the
lower number of children living in the same
household was significantly associated with
childhood obesity (p lt005)
The early risk factors for obesity related to
the parents of 2025 Sicilian children aged nine
to 14 years living in urban and rural areas
were estimated38 Obese mothers had a
significantly higher prevalence of obese
children (329 vs 96 in normal weight
mothers p lt0005) The BMI of both fathers
and mothers was significantly correlated with
the BMI-z score (r = 027 and r = 025
respectively p lt00001) waist circumference
(r = 025 (r = 027 and p = 023 respectively
p lt00001) also adjusted for age and sex (p
lt005) There was also a significant
relationship between the level of parental
schooling and the childs weight status It was
inferred that when the mother or father had a
low level of schooling the prevalence of
childhood obesity was significantly higher than
when the parents had a high educational level
(p lt005) in addition overweight and obese
children had a significantly higher prevalence
of high birth weight (PN ge 4 kg) compared to
lean or normal-weight children (61 vs 31
p lt005) It was found that the prevalence of
high birth weight was significantly higher
among overweight and obese females (80 vs
37 p lt005) but no significant differences
were found between areas urban and rural
areas for BMI z scores for BMI and waist-to-
height ratio however children living in urban
areas had a significantly higher WC (748 plusmn
114 vs 733 plusmn 119 lt005) than children in
rural areas
A total of 1223 schoolchildren aged seven
to ten years 492 boys and 508 girls were
found and a significant relationship was
found between the nutritional status of the
children and the nutritional status of their
mothers30 It was observed that the
prevalence of overweight or obesity was 158
times higher among children of mothers who
were overweight (p = 0001) with no
significant difference between genders
revealing that approximately 849 of the
children had habits healthy diet but in this
investigation there was no significant
association between family income and
overweight
In a longitudinal study35 302 girls and 316
boys mean age of 45 years at baseline were
observed during a ten-year follow-up
Measurements of anthropometric
measurements were made at five moments
during the study and maternal obesity was a
predictor of the increase in overweight
obesity in girls (OR ranged from 248 to 863
p lt00001) and (OR ranged from 227 to 403
p lt00006) in boys at all time points
In another longitudinal study 34 32-year-old
Mexican American children aged eight to ten
years were followed for two years of follow-up
regarding the influence of parental feeding
practices on the childs weight and positive
correlation between BMI waist height ratio
of children and parental BMI both maternal
BMI and paternal BMI (p lt0001) The
socioeconomic level of the families was
associated with lower BMI and lower waist-to-
height ratio (r = -012 p lt005)
The influence of maternal food preferences
on childrens food preferences was
measured24 This study was carried out in a
public school and a private school comparing
therefore two groups from different social
strata It was observed that the mothers of
the public school students had a higher BMI
when compared to the mothers of the private
school (p lt00001) The preferences of the
children were more strongly associated with
maternal food preferences compared to the
paternal preferences for the following foods

rchild = 086) and fish (rmom = 076 rdad = 063
rchild = 078) The results showed that mothers
influenced their childrens food preferences by
30 and this association was stronger for
students in public schools both parents
influenced their children in regular
consumption of common refrigerant (rmom =
084 rdad= 081 rchild = 098)
The association between ingestion and
dietary pattern between parents and children
in a representative sample of the United
States was studied27 and it was found that the
adjusted correlations were significantly
stronger between mother-child dyads than
between parent-child dyads and when
comparing food intake among children and
their mothers a correlation was observed
between cholesterol intake (rson=047
rdaughter=031 plt 005) calcium and dairy
products (rson=030 rdaughter=030 plt 005)
fruits and vegetables (rson=031 rdaughter=037
plt 005) It is generally suggested from the
findings of this study that the similarity in
dietary intake between parents and children is
relatively weak (correlations ranged from 020
to 033 for total energy intake and diet) It
was increased in parents who ate healthy food
three times the likelihood of children also
having a healthy diet and the age of the child
significantly modified this relationship which
was higher for children aged between two and
ten years [OR 405 (95 CI 245-668) p
lt005] compared to those over the age of 10
[OR 155 (95 CI 101-2 36) p lt005] When
the socioeconomic level was considered it
was only an interaction for the consumption of
diet soda with a significant correlation
between parents and children of better social
class (r = 031 p lt005)
The quality of the diet of preschool
children and their mothers with overweight
was determined in a study 31 assessing the
correlation between the quality of the
maternal diet and the childs diet The
maternal-infant scores of the diet quality
index were correlated with each other (r =
044 p lt00001) and more than half of the
children met the recommendations of total
grains milk and oils however only 6 of the
children met the recommendation of total
vegetables compared to 18 of the mothers
Children and mothers were significantly
different in the percentage of adequacy to
recommendations for fruits vegetables
whole grains milk and meat and beans It
should be noted that the quality of the infant
diet was better among those children with
longer breastfeeding children of white
mothers married and non-smokers however
BMI-Z score and BMI category were not
associated with quality of the childs diet
The comparison between the dietary intake
of the children and their respective parents
was found 33 and there were moderate
positive correlations between the father-child
dyads in relation to the percentages of energy
intake from fats saturated fats and
carbohydrates (r = 040-046 P lt005) while
the mother-infant dyads presented moderate
to moderate positive correlations for all
percentages of intake such as plant variety (r
= 040 p lt001) meat intake (r = 046 p
lt0001) except for carbohydrates (r = 027 p
lt005) besides strong correlations for the
general quality of the diet (r = 050 - 059)
The influence of maternal dietary practices
on the ingestion of non-alcoholic sugary drinks
in a sample of 1350 six-year-old children was
evaluated and 23 of children were found to
be overweight and consume these beverages
once a day and that regardless of the
nutritional status of the child children of
mothers who limited their consumption of
sweets and unhealthy foods were significantly
less likely to consume non-alcoholic
sweetened beverages (p lt005)32
In a systematic review with meta-analysis
29 the similarity in food intake of children and
their parents was found 24 studies published
in the period from 1980 to 2011 were
identified of which 15 were included in the
meta-regression analysis Significantly the
results of the studies were varied and
generally speaking weak to moderate
correlations were suggested for nutrient
intake between parents and children with a
mean correlation coefficient of 020 (95 CI

total fat and energy respectively It is further
noted by the authors that associations for
these dietary items have become weaker over
the years It should be noted that food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) produced a
lower correlation than the 24-hour records or
reminders and the better methodological
quality of the studies showed a stronger
correlation in fat intake It is emphasized that
the majority of the studies that composed this
review was based on small non-representative
samples and about half of them were carried
out in the United States being scarce the

It is understood that the results of this

although the sample of the study population
varies between 60 and 4248 children totaling
13858 participants only one study was
carried out with rural children showing the
lack of research on the subject with the
mentioned public
The prevalence of overweight and
childhood obesity found in the studies in this
review varied between 216 and 51 It is
reported that a systematic review study 44
worldwide identified a substantial increase in
childhood obesity with 238 of boys and
226 of girls in developed countries being
overweight or obese In developing countries
prevalence of overweight and obesity
increased from 81 to 129 in 2013 for boys
and from 84 to 134 in girls
The methodology for collecting the
anthropometric data was used to calculate
the BMI between the studies The weight and
height measures of the children were obtained
by a majority of them (n = 13) through an
evaluation carried out by a trained
researcher In one of the selected studies
these measures were measured by the
respective mothers However it was noticed
that the anthropometric measurements of the
mothers were self-reported in more than half
of the studies (n = 9) Self-reported measures
may include outdated data errors lack of
knowledge or underreporting of overweight45
It was verified that the instruments used
for the evaluation of food consumption were
heterogeneous which makes it difficult to
compare the results found It is noteworthy
that only three studies evaluated the
consumption of non-alcoholic sugary drinks It
is relevant to evaluate this aspect in the
dietary pattern since studies have discussed
the possible association between the
consumption of sugary drinks and the BMI It
was pointed out in the literature review that 46 the overall index of non-alcoholic sugary
beverages consumption is high in the child and
adolescent population and that additional
studies especially follow-up studies should
be implemented to elucidate its effect on BMI
and health in general
It was verified that the majority of the
articles of this revision is international being
only two realized in Brazil In addition most
urban area surveys were carried out with only
one study covering urban and rural areas and
did not find significant differences in the
prevalence of overweight between the two
areas demonstrating that the nutritional
transition also affects children As a result
the hypothesis is that rural inhabitants have
more access to healthy foods such as fruits
and vegetables as well as having adequate
physical space for planting and growing
gardens and leisure activities in the air free
so they would be less likely to become
obese47 It is necessary in this sense to carry
out further investigations with this public for
a better understanding about the prevalence
of obesity and associated factors in children
residing in this area
The relationship in BMI and the dietary
pattern between mother and child in this
review was observed especially in urban
children These findings may support genetic
causation but environmental and family
components should be considered since
parents and the family environment are the
primary influences of life habits that children
tend to follow It is understood that family
practices such as food consumption absence
of physical activity hours in front of the
television or computer are examples that
directly influence the choices and
conditioning of the individual in relation to
habits of life48
Among the studies analyzed in this review
nine of them evaluated the socioeconomic
status of the participants and from these
one found a significant association between
the higher socioeconomic level and the lower
child BMI34 Evidence suggests that
socioeconomic status is an important element
associated with obesity although the existing
literature is not consensual There was a
direct association between higher family
income and obesity in schoolchildren 12
justifying that greater access to consumer
goods stimulates sedentariness such as
excessive use of the computer In addition
due to the higher purchasing power access to
an inadequate nutritional standard such as
the use of sugary drinks delicacies and
industrialized foods of high energy value49
t was found that more than half of the
studies 75 (n = 12) are of the transverse
type characterized as level 4 of scientific
evidence 19 (n = 3) are descriptive cohort
studies characterized as level 3 of evidence
and 6 (n = 1) are of systematic review
characterized as level 1 of evidence however
because they are not randomized controlled
clinical trials we can not extract causal
inferences34
It was found with regard to the
representativeness of the samples that 438
(n = 7) of the selected studies had sampling
for convenience It becomes impracticable to
state that the data from the studies analyzed
with non-randomized sampling represent a
population and representative and random
samples are essential from the point of view
of internal and external validity to ensure that

the information collected is extended to the
population50
The lack of studies evaluating the
relationship between nutritional status and
food consumption among children from five to
ten years old and their mothers especially in
rural environments shows that only two of
the articles evaluated in this review presented
it clearly It is known that the family directly
influences the health promotion practices or
the illness of its members since it plays a
fundamental role in the formation of values
beliefs knowledge and habits of life51
Therefore it is necessary in relation to
the factors associated with overweight in
children of longitudinal rural surveys that
assess the highest possible volume of variables
of the mother and child such as the
consumption of sugary drinks non-alcoholic
socioeconomic status BMI level of physical
activity favoring the analysis of the
determinants of this phenomenon of global
magnitude
It is concluded that the results of this
review do not show that nutritional status and
maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children considering that
in this research only one study was conducted
in rural areas and nevertheless it is an
international study that did not compare
maternal and child food consumption It is
therefore recommended to implement more
studies in the rural area mainly in Brazil on
this subject

varying from 116 to 84 among mothers and
from 216 to 51 among the children It is
mentioned that three studies did not present
the prevalence of overweight obesity of the
children evaluated242733 In one the mean Z
score for BMI age was 042 plusmn 119 for girls
and 073 plusmn 118 for boys33 It was shown in
two other studies that the average BMI was
202 plusmn 01 27 and another 192 plusmn 41 for public
school children and 191 plusmn 32 for private
school children24 Data on the dietary intake of
children in eleven studies were evaluated 23-
427-3336-7 but only eight of them evaluated
parental feeding and compared the
consumption of mother-infant dyads2831-2 and
also father-son2427293337
The questionnaires used to collect data
between the studies were differed It is
noticed that some authors30 used QUADA
version 3 which consists of an illustrated
questionnaire referring to the food
consumption of the previous day in a
qualitative way others32 used four questions
extracted from the Infant Feeding
Questionnaire and focused on maternal
behavior regarding the childs diet and two
questions regarding the frequency with which
the child had ingested non-alcoholic sugary
drinks in the last month Some authors have
used validated semiquantitative food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) Australian
Eating Survey (AES) for adults and Australian
Child and Adolescent Eating Survey (ACAES)
for children3336 others used the 24-hour food
recall 272931 as well as some authors who
used a structured questionnaire with
questions about the eating habits of children
and parents24 another group of authors used a
questionnaire on the consumption of fruit
vegetables and sugary drinks 28 and the
studies included in the review29 used FFQs and
or 24-hour food recall
t is exposed from the studies found in this
review that only two 2837 simultaneously
evaluated the relationship of BMI between
mother and child contemplating data on the
food consumption of both in urban
environment A total of 76 girls aged nine to
13 years and their mothers were evaluated
The higher the connectivity score in the
relationship between mother and daughter
the greater the similarity between their BMI
(p lt005)28 there was a significant similarity
in the consumption of fruits and vegetables by
children and their mothers (p = 001 and p
lt001 respectively) The childs eating habit
was also directly associated with this habit (p
lt0001) but there was no similarity relation
between the intake of sugary beverages by
the children and their mothers (pgt 005) In a
study of 172 Mexican children aged five to 12
years and their mothers it was found that
obese mothers had a significantly higher
proportion of obese children compared to
normal or overweight mothers [OR 155 (IC 95
18-132) p = 0003]37 However the state of
overweight and maternal obesity in a single
group was compared to the overweight and
obesity status of the children but no
statistical association was found The risk of
excessive energy consumption by their
daughters (p = 004) increased by 11 times the
mothers excessive energy consumption The
maternal lipid intake was associated with the
lipid intake of their sons and daughters (p
lt0001 and p = 0005 respectively) and the
mothers carbohydrate intake was associated
with their daughters consumption (p = 0004)
Increased sugar consumption by mothers
increased the risk of excessive sugar
consumption in their sons and daughters by
four to five times
In a study carried out in Brazil specifically
in a city in the center-west of Minas Gerais
the factors associated with infant BMI in 60
children between six and ten years old were
measured and the mothers obesity was found
as an independent variable associated with
excess (p = 0004) Of the children whose
mothers were obese 714 were overweight
versus 151 of those whose mothers were not
obese In this study the average daily intake
of breads (p = 003) and the lowest average
daily intake of yogurt (p = 0007) were
statistically significant with statistically
significant associations with the highest BMI of
the child The average daily intake of chip
snacks (p = 008) was also directly associated
with the highest infant BMI and the highest
average daily intake of ice creams (p = 009)
was indirectly associated with higher child
BMI without statistical significance Other
variables such as fathers obesity birth
weight breastfeeding and number of children
were evaluated however they were not
associated with the BMI of the child36
A follow-up study of 197 girls five years of
age was performed at the baseline until the
age of 13 and the prevalence of overweight
of the girls over time was evaluated It should
be noted that BMI change patterns were
higher than expected for normal growth
among daughters of overweight parents
compared with girls whose parents were not
overweight [mean weight gain 408 plusmn 133 kg
291 plusmn 62 kg respectively) p lt0001] It was
observed that girls from families in which only
mothers were overweight showed a faster rate

25 characteristics of parents associated
with obesity in children and adolescents were
examined in a study to better understand the
obesogenic family environment It was found
that mothers and fathers of obese youngsters
had significantly higher BMIs compared to
mothers and fathers of overweight children
[(Mothers 352 plusmn 96 kg m2 vs 276 plusmn 69 kg
m2 Parents 333 plusmn 84 kg m 2 vs 282 plusmn
47 kg m 2 of youngsters with and without
overweight respectively) p lt0001] Maternal
obesity increased by 28 times the chance of
the child being obese until [p lt00001 95 CI
180-435] and as expected the
socioeconomic level did not differ significantly
among the participants since it is a
convenience sample whose sociodemographic
characteristics of families tend to be similar
In one study 26 risk factors for the
development of obesity in children in the
south-eastern region of Poland were assessed
It was found that maternal obesity was highly
associated with the presence of obesity in
children with a differential impact between
the sexes [OR 1428 (95 CI 1031-1979) p
lt0001] in girls and [OR 1675 (95 CI 1178-
2382) p lt00001) in boys Childrens obesity
was also significantly associated with paternal
obesity (p lt0001) however this relation is
higher with the mother It was found that
family income parental education level and
maternal occupation were not associated with
the presence of obesity in children and the
lower number of children living in the same
household was significantly associated with
childhood obesity (p lt005)
The early risk factors for obesity related to
the parents of 2025 Sicilian children aged nine
to 14 years living in urban and rural areas
were estimated38 Obese mothers had a
significantly higher prevalence of obese
children (329 vs 96 in normal weight
mothers p lt0005) The BMI of both fathers
and mothers was significantly correlated with
the BMI-z score (r = 027 and r = 025
respectively p lt00001) waist circumference
(r = 025 (r = 027 and p = 023 respectively
p lt00001) also adjusted for age and sex (p
lt005) There was also a significant
relationship between the level of parental
schooling and the childs weight status It was
inferred that when the mother or father had a
low level of schooling the prevalence of
childhood obesity was significantly higher than
when the parents had a high educational level
(p lt005) in addition overweight and obese
children had a significantly higher prevalence
of high birth weight (PN ge 4 kg) compared to
lean or normal-weight children (61 vs 31
p lt005) It was found that the prevalence of
high birth weight was significantly higher
among overweight and obese females (80 vs
37 p lt005) but no significant differences
were found between areas urban and rural
areas for BMI z scores for BMI and waist-to-
height ratio however children living in urban
areas had a significantly higher WC (748 plusmn
114 vs 733 plusmn 119 lt005) than children in
rural areas
A total of 1223 schoolchildren aged seven
to ten years 492 boys and 508 girls were
found and a significant relationship was
found between the nutritional status of the
children and the nutritional status of their
mothers30 It was observed that the
prevalence of overweight or obesity was 158
times higher among children of mothers who
were overweight (p = 0001) with no
significant difference between genders
revealing that approximately 849 of the
children had habits healthy diet but in this
investigation there was no significant
association between family income and
overweight
In a longitudinal study35 302 girls and 316
boys mean age of 45 years at baseline were
observed during a ten-year follow-up
Measurements of anthropometric
measurements were made at five moments
during the study and maternal obesity was a
predictor of the increase in overweight
obesity in girls (OR ranged from 248 to 863
p lt00001) and (OR ranged from 227 to 403
p lt00006) in boys at all time points
In another longitudinal study 34 32-year-old
Mexican American children aged eight to ten
years were followed for two years of follow-up
regarding the influence of parental feeding
practices on the childs weight and positive
correlation between BMI waist height ratio
of children and parental BMI both maternal
BMI and paternal BMI (p lt0001) The
socioeconomic level of the families was
associated with lower BMI and lower waist-to-
height ratio (r = -012 p lt005)
The influence of maternal food preferences
on childrens food preferences was
measured24 This study was carried out in a
public school and a private school comparing
therefore two groups from different social
strata It was observed that the mothers of
the public school students had a higher BMI
when compared to the mothers of the private
school (p lt00001) The preferences of the
children were more strongly associated with
maternal food preferences compared to the
paternal preferences for the following foods

rchild = 086) and fish (rmom = 076 rdad = 063

influenced their childrens food preferences by
30 and this association was stronger for
students in public schools both parents
influenced their children in regular
consumption of common refrigerant (rmom =
084 rdad= 081 rchild = 098)
The association between ingestion and
dietary pattern between parents and children
in a representative sample of the United
States was studied27 and it was found that the
adjusted correlations were significantly
stronger between mother-child dyads than
between parent-child dyads and when
comparing food intake among children and
their mothers a correlation was observed
between cholesterol intake (rson=047
rdaughter=031 plt 005) calcium and dairy
products (rson=030 rdaughter=030 plt 005)
fruits and vegetables (rson=031 rdaughter=037
plt 005) It is generally suggested from the
findings of this study that the similarity in
dietary intake between parents and children is
relatively weak (correlations ranged from 020
to 033 for total energy intake and diet) It
was increased in parents who ate healthy food
three times the likelihood of children also
having a healthy diet and the age of the child
significantly modified this relationship which
was higher for children aged between two and
ten years [OR 405 (95 CI 245-668) p
lt005] compared to those over the age of 10
[OR 155 (95 CI 101-2 36) p lt005] When
the socioeconomic level was considered it
was only an interaction for the consumption of
diet soda with a significant correlation
between parents and children of better social
class (r = 031 p lt005)
The quality of the diet of preschool
children and their mothers with overweight
was determined in a study 31 assessing the
correlation between the quality of the
maternal diet and the childs diet The
maternal-infant scores of the diet quality
index were correlated with each other (r =
044 p lt00001) and more than half of the
children met the recommendations of total
grains milk and oils however only 6 of the
children met the recommendation of total
vegetables compared to 18 of the mothers
Children and mothers were significantly
different in the percentage of adequacy to
recommendations for fruits vegetables
whole grains milk and meat and beans It
should be noted that the quality of the infant
diet was better among those children with
longer breastfeeding children of white
mothers married and non-smokers however
BMI-Z score and BMI category were not
associated with quality of the childs diet
The comparison between the dietary intake
of the children and their respective parents
was found 33 and there were moderate
positive correlations between the father-child
dyads in relation to the percentages of energy
intake from fats saturated fats and
carbohydrates (r = 040-046 P lt005) while
the mother-infant dyads presented moderate
to moderate positive correlations for all
percentages of intake such as plant variety (r
= 040 p lt001) meat intake (r = 046 p
lt0001) except for carbohydrates (r = 027 p
lt005) besides strong correlations for the
general quality of the diet (r = 050 - 059)
The influence of maternal dietary practices
on the ingestion of non-alcoholic sugary drinks
in a sample of 1350 six-year-old children was
evaluated and 23 of children were found to
be overweight and consume these beverages
once a day and that regardless of the
nutritional status of the child children of
mothers who limited their consumption of
sweets and unhealthy foods were significantly
less likely to consume non-alcoholic
sweetened beverages (p lt005)32
In a systematic review with meta-analysis
29 the similarity in food intake of children and
their parents was found 24 studies published
in the period from 1980 to 2011 were
identified of which 15 were included in the
meta-regression analysis Significantly the
results of the studies were varied and
generally speaking weak to moderate
correlations were suggested for nutrient
intake between parents and children with a
mean correlation coefficient of 020 (95 CI
013- 028) and 021 (95 CI 018-024) for
total fat and energy respectively It is further
noted by the authors that associations for
these dietary items have become weaker over
the years It should be noted that food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) produced a
lower correlation than the 24-hour records or
reminders and the better methodological
quality of the studies showed a stronger
correlation in fat intake It is emphasized that
the majority of the studies that composed this
review was based on small non-representative
samples and about half of them were carried
out in the United States being scarce the
work done in underdeveloped countries
It is understood that the results of this
research do not show that nutritional status
and maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children It is added that

although the sample of the study population
varies between 60 and 4248 children totaling
13858 participants only one study was
carried out with rural children showing the
lack of research on the subject with the
mentioned public
The prevalence of overweight and
childhood obesity found in the studies in this
review varied between 216 and 51 It is
reported that a systematic review study 44
worldwide identified a substantial increase in
childhood obesity with 238 of boys and
226 of girls in developed countries being
overweight or obese In developing countries
prevalence of overweight and obesity
increased from 81 to 129 in 2013 for boys
and from 84 to 134 in girls
The methodology for collecting the
anthropometric data was used to calculate
the BMI between the studies The weight and
height measures of the children were obtained
by a majority of them (n = 13) through an
evaluation carried out by a trained
researcher In one of the selected studies
these measures were measured by the
respective mothers However it was noticed
that the anthropometric measurements of the
mothers were self-reported in more than half
of the studies (n = 9) Self-reported measures
may include outdated data errors lack of
knowledge or underreporting of overweight45
It was verified that the instruments used
for the evaluation of food consumption were
heterogeneous which makes it difficult to
compare the results found It is noteworthy
that only three studies evaluated the
consumption of non-alcoholic sugary drinks It
is relevant to evaluate this aspect in the
dietary pattern since studies have discussed
the possible association between the
consumption of sugary drinks and the BMI It
was pointed out in the literature review that 46 the overall index of non-alcoholic sugary
beverages consumption is high in the child and
adolescent population and that additional
studies especially follow-up studies should
be implemented to elucidate its effect on BMI
and health in general
It was verified that the majority of the
articles of this revision is international being
only two realized in Brazil In addition most
urban area surveys were carried out with only
one study covering urban and rural areas and
did not find significant differences in the
prevalence of overweight between the two
areas demonstrating that the nutritional
transition also affects children As a result
the hypothesis is that rural inhabitants have
more access to healthy foods such as fruits
and vegetables as well as having adequate
physical space for planting and growing
gardens and leisure activities in the air free
so they would be less likely to become
obese47 It is necessary in this sense to carry
out further investigations with this public for
a better understanding about the prevalence
of obesity and associated factors in children
residing in this area
The relationship in BMI and the dietary
pattern between mother and child in this
review was observed especially in urban
children These findings may support genetic
causation but environmental and family
components should be considered since
parents and the family environment are the
primary influences of life habits that children
tend to follow It is understood that family
practices such as food consumption absence
of physical activity hours in front of the
television or computer are examples that
directly influence the choices and
conditioning of the individual in relation to
habits of life48
Among the studies analyzed in this review
nine of them evaluated the socioeconomic
status of the participants and from these
one found a significant association between
the higher socioeconomic level and the lower
child BMI34 Evidence suggests that
socioeconomic status is an important element
associated with obesity although the existing
literature is not consensual There was a
direct association between higher family
income and obesity in schoolchildren 12
justifying that greater access to consumer
goods stimulates sedentariness such as
excessive use of the computer In addition
due to the higher purchasing power access to
an inadequate nutritional standard such as
the use of sugary drinks delicacies and
industrialized foods of high energy value49
t was found that more than half of the
studies 75 (n = 12) are of the transverse
type characterized as level 4 of scientific
evidence 19 (n = 3) are descriptive cohort
studies characterized as level 3 of evidence
and 6 (n = 1) are of systematic review
characterized as level 1 of evidence however
because they are not randomized controlled
clinical trials we can not extract causal
inferences34
It was found with regard to the
representativeness of the samples that 438
(n = 7) of the selected studies had sampling
for convenience It becomes impracticable to
state that the data from the studies analyzed
with non-randomized sampling represent a
population and representative and random
samples are essential from the point of view
of internal and external validity to ensure that

the information collected is extended to the
population50
The lack of studies evaluating the
relationship between nutritional status and
food consumption among children from five to
ten years old and their mothers especially in
rural environments shows that only two of
the articles evaluated in this review presented
it clearly It is known that the family directly
influences the health promotion practices or
the illness of its members since it plays a
fundamental role in the formation of values
beliefs knowledge and habits of life51
Therefore it is necessary in relation to
the factors associated with overweight in
children of longitudinal rural surveys that
assess the highest possible volume of variables
of the mother and child such as the
consumption of sugary drinks non-alcoholic
socioeconomic status BMI level of physical
activity favoring the analysis of the
determinants of this phenomenon of global
magnitude
It is concluded that the results of this
review do not show that nutritional status and
maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children considering that
in this research only one study was conducted
in rural areas and nevertheless it is an
international study that did not compare
maternal and child food consumption It is
therefore recommended to implement more
studies in the rural area mainly in Brazil on
this subject

those in which neither parent was overweight
(p lt005)
25 characteristics of parents associated
with obesity in children and adolescents were
examined in a study to better understand the
obesogenic family environment It was found
that mothers and fathers of obese youngsters
had significantly higher BMIs compared to
mothers and fathers of overweight children
[(Mothers 352 plusmn 96 kg m2 vs 276 plusmn 69 kg
m2 Parents 333 plusmn 84 kg m 2 vs 282 plusmn
47 kg m 2 of youngsters with and without
overweight respectively) p lt0001] Maternal
obesity increased by 28 times the chance of
the child being obese until [p lt00001 95 CI
180-435] and as expected the
socioeconomic level did not differ significantly
among the participants since it is a
convenience sample whose sociodemographic
characteristics of families tend to be similar
In one study 26 risk factors for the
development of obesity in children in the
south-eastern region of Poland were assessed
It was found that maternal obesity was highly
associated with the presence of obesity in
children with a differential impact between
the sexes [OR 1428 (95 CI 1031-1979) p
lt0001] in girls and [OR 1675 (95 CI 1178-
2382) p lt00001) in boys Childrens obesity
was also significantly associated with paternal
obesity (p lt0001) however this relation is
higher with the mother It was found that
family income parental education level and
maternal occupation were not associated with
the presence of obesity in children and the
lower number of children living in the same
household was significantly associated with
childhood obesity (p lt005)
The early risk factors for obesity related to
the parents of 2025 Sicilian children aged nine
to 14 years living in urban and rural areas
were estimated38 Obese mothers had a
significantly higher prevalence of obese
children (329 vs 96 in normal weight
mothers p lt0005) The BMI of both fathers
and mothers was significantly correlated with
the BMI-z score (r = 027 and r = 025
respectively p lt00001) waist circumference
(r = 025 (r = 027 and p = 023 respectively
p lt00001) also adjusted for age and sex (p
lt005) There was also a significant
relationship between the level of parental
schooling and the childs weight status It was
inferred that when the mother or father had a
low level of schooling the prevalence of
childhood obesity was significantly higher than
when the parents had a high educational level
(p lt005) in addition overweight and obese
children had a significantly higher prevalence
of high birth weight (PN ge 4 kg) compared to
lean or normal-weight children (61 vs 31
p lt005) It was found that the prevalence of
high birth weight was significantly higher
among overweight and obese females (80 vs
37 p lt005) but no significant differences
were found between areas urban and rural
areas for BMI z scores for BMI and waist-to-
height ratio however children living in urban
areas had a significantly higher WC (748 plusmn
114 vs 733 plusmn 119 lt005) than children in
rural areas
A total of 1223 schoolchildren aged seven
to ten years 492 boys and 508 girls were
found and a significant relationship was
found between the nutritional status of the
children and the nutritional status of their
mothers30 It was observed that the
prevalence of overweight or obesity was 158
times higher among children of mothers who
were overweight (p = 0001) with no
significant difference between genders
revealing that approximately 849 of the
children had habits healthy diet but in this
investigation there was no significant
association between family income and
overweight
In a longitudinal study35 302 girls and 316
boys mean age of 45 years at baseline were
observed during a ten-year follow-up
Measurements of anthropometric
measurements were made at five moments
during the study and maternal obesity was a
predictor of the increase in overweight
obesity in girls (OR ranged from 248 to 863
p lt00001) and (OR ranged from 227 to 403
p lt00006) in boys at all time points
In another longitudinal study 34 32-year-old
Mexican American children aged eight to ten
years were followed for two years of follow-up
regarding the influence of parental feeding
practices on the childs weight and positive
correlation between BMI waist height ratio
of children and parental BMI both maternal
BMI and paternal BMI (p lt0001) The
socioeconomic level of the families was
associated with lower BMI and lower waist-to-
height ratio (r = -012 p lt005)
The influence of maternal food preferences
on childrens food preferences was
measured24 This study was carried out in a
public school and a private school comparing
therefore two groups from different social
strata It was observed that the mothers of
the public school students had a higher BMI
when compared to the mothers of the private
school (p lt00001) The preferences of the
children were more strongly associated with
maternal food preferences compared to the
paternal preferences for the following foods
vegetables (rmom = 092 rdad = 058 rchild =

rchild = 086) and fish (rmom = 076 rdad = 063
rchild = 078) The results showed that mothers
influenced their childrens food preferences by
30 and this association was stronger for
students in public schools both parents
influenced their children in regular
consumption of common refrigerant (rmom =
084 rdad= 081 rchild = 098)
The association between ingestion and
dietary pattern between parents and children
in a representative sample of the United
States was studied27 and it was found that the
adjusted correlations were significantly
stronger between mother-child dyads than
between parent-child dyads and when
comparing food intake among children and
their mothers a correlation was observed
between cholesterol intake (rson=047
rdaughter=031 plt 005) calcium and dairy
products (rson=030 rdaughter=030 plt 005)
fruits and vegetables (rson=031 rdaughter=037
plt 005) It is generally suggested from the
findings of this study that the similarity in
dietary intake between parents and children is
relatively weak (correlations ranged from 020
to 033 for total energy intake and diet) It
was increased in parents who ate healthy food
three times the likelihood of children also
having a healthy diet and the age of the child
significantly modified this relationship which
was higher for children aged between two and
ten years [OR 405 (95 CI 245-668) p
lt005] compared to those over the age of 10
[OR 155 (95 CI 101-2 36) p lt005] When
the socioeconomic level was considered it
was only an interaction for the consumption of
diet soda with a significant correlation
between parents and children of better social
class (r = 031 p lt005)
The quality of the diet of preschool
children and their mothers with overweight
was determined in a study 31 assessing the
correlation between the quality of the
maternal diet and the childs diet The
maternal-infant scores of the diet quality
index were correlated with each other (r =
044 p lt00001) and more than half of the
children met the recommendations of total
grains milk and oils however only 6 of the
children met the recommendation of total
vegetables compared to 18 of the mothers
Children and mothers were significantly
different in the percentage of adequacy to
recommendations for fruits vegetables
whole grains milk and meat and beans It
should be noted that the quality of the infant
diet was better among those children with
longer breastfeeding children of white
mothers married and non-smokers however
BMI-Z score and BMI category were not
associated with quality of the childs diet
The comparison between the dietary intake
of the children and their respective parents
was found 33 and there were moderate
positive correlations between the father-child
dyads in relation to the percentages of energy
intake from fats saturated fats and
carbohydrates (r = 040-046 P lt005) while
the mother-infant dyads presented moderate
to moderate positive correlations for all
percentages of intake such as plant variety (r
= 040 p lt001) meat intake (r = 046 p
lt0001) except for carbohydrates (r = 027 p
lt005) besides strong correlations for the
general quality of the diet (r = 050 - 059)
The influence of maternal dietary practices
on the ingestion of non-alcoholic sugary drinks
in a sample of 1350 six-year-old children was
evaluated and 23 of children were found to
be overweight and consume these beverages
once a day and that regardless of the
nutritional status of the child children of
mothers who limited their consumption of
sweets and unhealthy foods were significantly
less likely to consume non-alcoholic
sweetened beverages (p lt005)32
In a systematic review with meta-analysis
29 the similarity in food intake of children and
their parents was found 24 studies published
in the period from 1980 to 2011 were
identified of which 15 were included in the
meta-regression analysis Significantly the
results of the studies were varied and
generally speaking weak to moderate
correlations were suggested for nutrient
intake between parents and children with a
mean correlation coefficient of 020 (95 CI
013- 028) and 021 (95 CI 018-024) for
total fat and energy respectively It is further
noted by the authors that associations for
these dietary items have become weaker over
the years It should be noted that food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) produced a
lower correlation than the 24-hour records or
reminders and the better methodological
quality of the studies showed a stronger
correlation in fat intake It is emphasized that
the majority of the studies that composed this
review was based on small non-representative
samples and about half of them were carried
out in the United States being scarce the
work done in underdeveloped countries
It is understood that the results of this
research do not show that nutritional status
and maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children It is added that

although the sample of the study population
varies between 60 and 4248 children totaling
13858 participants only one study was
carried out with rural children showing the
lack of research on the subject with the
mentioned public
The prevalence of overweight and
childhood obesity found in the studies in this
review varied between 216 and 51 It is
reported that a systematic review study 44
worldwide identified a substantial increase in
childhood obesity with 238 of boys and
226 of girls in developed countries being
overweight or obese In developing countries
prevalence of overweight and obesity
increased from 81 to 129 in 2013 for boys
and from 84 to 134 in girls
The methodology for collecting the
anthropometric data was used to calculate
the BMI between the studies The weight and
height measures of the children were obtained
by a majority of them (n = 13) through an
evaluation carried out by a trained
researcher In one of the selected studies
these measures were measured by the
respective mothers However it was noticed
that the anthropometric measurements of the
mothers were self-reported in more than half
of the studies (n = 9) Self-reported measures
may include outdated data errors lack of
knowledge or underreporting of overweight45
It was verified that the instruments used
for the evaluation of food consumption were
heterogeneous which makes it difficult to
compare the results found It is noteworthy
that only three studies evaluated the
consumption of non-alcoholic sugary drinks It
is relevant to evaluate this aspect in the
dietary pattern since studies have discussed
the possible association between the
consumption of sugary drinks and the BMI It
was pointed out in the literature review that 46 the overall index of non-alcoholic sugary
beverages consumption is high in the child and
adolescent population and that additional
studies especially follow-up studies should
be implemented to elucidate its effect on BMI
and health in general
It was verified that the majority of the
articles of this revision is international being
only two realized in Brazil In addition most
urban area surveys were carried out with only
one study covering urban and rural areas and
did not find significant differences in the
prevalence of overweight between the two
areas demonstrating that the nutritional
transition also affects children As a result
the hypothesis is that rural inhabitants have
more access to healthy foods such as fruits
and vegetables as well as having adequate
physical space for planting and growing
gardens and leisure activities in the air free
so they would be less likely to become
obese47 It is necessary in this sense to carry
out further investigations with this public for
a better understanding about the prevalence
of obesity and associated factors in children
residing in this area
The relationship in BMI and the dietary
pattern between mother and child in this
review was observed especially in urban
children These findings may support genetic
causation but environmental and family
components should be considered since
parents and the family environment are the
primary influences of life habits that children
tend to follow It is understood that family
practices such as food consumption absence
of physical activity hours in front of the
television or computer are examples that
directly influence the choices and
conditioning of the individual in relation to
habits of life48
Among the studies analyzed in this review
nine of them evaluated the socioeconomic
status of the participants and from these
one found a significant association between
the higher socioeconomic level and the lower
child BMI34 Evidence suggests that
socioeconomic status is an important element
associated with obesity although the existing
literature is not consensual There was a
direct association between higher family
income and obesity in schoolchildren 12
justifying that greater access to consumer
goods stimulates sedentariness such as
excessive use of the computer In addition
due to the higher purchasing power access to
an inadequate nutritional standard such as
the use of sugary drinks delicacies and
industrialized foods of high energy value49
t was found that more than half of the
studies 75 (n = 12) are of the transverse
type characterized as level 4 of scientific
evidence 19 (n = 3) are descriptive cohort
studies characterized as level 3 of evidence
and 6 (n = 1) are of systematic review
characterized as level 1 of evidence however
because they are not randomized controlled
clinical trials we can not extract causal
inferences34
It was found with regard to the
representativeness of the samples that 438
(n = 7) of the selected studies had sampling
for convenience It becomes impracticable to
state that the data from the studies analyzed
with non-randomized sampling represent a
population and representative and random
samples are essential from the point of view
of internal and external validity to ensure that

the information collected is extended to the
population50
The lack of studies evaluating the
relationship between nutritional status and
food consumption among children from five to
ten years old and their mothers especially in
rural environments shows that only two of
the articles evaluated in this review presented
it clearly It is known that the family directly
influences the health promotion practices or
the illness of its members since it plays a
fundamental role in the formation of values
beliefs knowledge and habits of life51
Therefore it is necessary in relation to
the factors associated with overweight in
children of longitudinal rural surveys that
assess the highest possible volume of variables
of the mother and child such as the
consumption of sugary drinks non-alcoholic
socioeconomic status BMI level of physical
activity favoring the analysis of the
determinants of this phenomenon of global
magnitude
It is concluded that the results of this
review do not show that nutritional status and
maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children considering that
in this research only one study was conducted
in rural areas and nevertheless it is an
international study that did not compare
maternal and child food consumption It is
therefore recommended to implement more
studies in the rural area mainly in Brazil on
this subject

094) fruits (rmom = 077 rdad = 047 rchild =
082) diet refrigerant (rmom = 097 rdad = 060
rchild = 086) and fish (rmom = 076 rdad = 063
rchild = 078) The results showed that mothers
influenced their childrens food preferences by
30 and this association was stronger for
students in public schools both parents
influenced their children in regular
consumption of common refrigerant (rmom =
084 rdad= 081 rchild = 098)
The association between ingestion and
dietary pattern between parents and children
in a representative sample of the United
States was studied27 and it was found that the
adjusted correlations were significantly
stronger between mother-child dyads than
between parent-child dyads and when
comparing food intake among children and
their mothers a correlation was observed
between cholesterol intake (rson=047
rdaughter=031 plt 005) calcium and dairy
products (rson=030 rdaughter=030 plt 005)
fruits and vegetables (rson=031 rdaughter=037
plt 005) It is generally suggested from the
findings of this study that the similarity in
dietary intake between parents and children is
relatively weak (correlations ranged from 020
to 033 for total energy intake and diet) It
was increased in parents who ate healthy food
three times the likelihood of children also
having a healthy diet and the age of the child
significantly modified this relationship which
was higher for children aged between two and
ten years [OR 405 (95 CI 245-668) p
lt005] compared to those over the age of 10
[OR 155 (95 CI 101-2 36) p lt005] When
the socioeconomic level was considered it
was only an interaction for the consumption of
diet soda with a significant correlation
between parents and children of better social
class (r = 031 p lt005)
The quality of the diet of preschool
children and their mothers with overweight
was determined in a study 31 assessing the
correlation between the quality of the
maternal diet and the childs diet The
maternal-infant scores of the diet quality
index were correlated with each other (r =
044 p lt00001) and more than half of the
children met the recommendations of total
grains milk and oils however only 6 of the
children met the recommendation of total
vegetables compared to 18 of the mothers
Children and mothers were significantly
different in the percentage of adequacy to
recommendations for fruits vegetables
whole grains milk and meat and beans It
should be noted that the quality of the infant
diet was better among those children with
longer breastfeeding children of white
mothers married and non-smokers however
BMI-Z score and BMI category were not
associated with quality of the childs diet
The comparison between the dietary intake
of the children and their respective parents
was found 33 and there were moderate
positive correlations between the father-child
dyads in relation to the percentages of energy
intake from fats saturated fats and
carbohydrates (r = 040-046 P lt005) while
the mother-infant dyads presented moderate
to moderate positive correlations for all
percentages of intake such as plant variety (r
= 040 p lt001) meat intake (r = 046 p
lt0001) except for carbohydrates (r = 027 p
lt005) besides strong correlations for the
general quality of the diet (r = 050 - 059)
The influence of maternal dietary practices
on the ingestion of non-alcoholic sugary drinks
in a sample of 1350 six-year-old children was
evaluated and 23 of children were found to
be overweight and consume these beverages
once a day and that regardless of the
nutritional status of the child children of
mothers who limited their consumption of
sweets and unhealthy foods were significantly
less likely to consume non-alcoholic
sweetened beverages (p lt005)32
In a systematic review with meta-analysis
29 the similarity in food intake of children and
their parents was found 24 studies published
in the period from 1980 to 2011 were
identified of which 15 were included in the
meta-regression analysis Significantly the
results of the studies were varied and
generally speaking weak to moderate
correlations were suggested for nutrient
intake between parents and children with a
mean correlation coefficient of 020 (95 CI
013- 028) and 021 (95 CI 018-024) for
total fat and energy respectively It is further
noted by the authors that associations for
these dietary items have become weaker over
the years It should be noted that food
frequency questionnaires (FFQs) produced a
lower correlation than the 24-hour records or
reminders and the better methodological
quality of the studies showed a stronger
correlation in fat intake It is emphasized that
the majority of the studies that composed this
review was based on small non-representative
samples and about half of them were carried
out in the United States being scarce the
work done in underdeveloped countries
It is understood that the results of this
research do not show that nutritional status
and maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children It is added that
DISCUSSION

although the sample of the study population
varies between 60 and 4248 children totaling
13858 participants only one study was
carried out with rural children showing the
lack of research on the subject with the
mentioned public
The prevalence of overweight and
childhood obesity found in the studies in this
review varied between 216 and 51 It is
reported that a systematic review study 44
worldwide identified a substantial increase in
childhood obesity with 238 of boys and
226 of girls in developed countries being
overweight or obese In developing countries
prevalence of overweight and obesity
increased from 81 to 129 in 2013 for boys
and from 84 to 134 in girls
The methodology for collecting the
anthropometric data was used to calculate
the BMI between the studies The weight and
height measures of the children were obtained
by a majority of them (n = 13) through an
evaluation carried out by a trained
researcher In one of the selected studies
these measures were measured by the
respective mothers However it was noticed
that the anthropometric measurements of the
mothers were self-reported in more than half
of the studies (n = 9) Self-reported measures
may include outdated data errors lack of
knowledge or underreporting of overweight45
It was verified that the instruments used
for the evaluation of food consumption were
heterogeneous which makes it difficult to
compare the results found It is noteworthy
that only three studies evaluated the
consumption of non-alcoholic sugary drinks It
is relevant to evaluate this aspect in the
dietary pattern since studies have discussed
the possible association between the
consumption of sugary drinks and the BMI It
was pointed out in the literature review that 46 the overall index of non-alcoholic sugary
beverages consumption is high in the child and
adolescent population and that additional
studies especially follow-up studies should
be implemented to elucidate its effect on BMI
and health in general
It was verified that the majority of the
articles of this revision is international being
only two realized in Brazil In addition most
urban area surveys were carried out with only
one study covering urban and rural areas and
did not find significant differences in the
prevalence of overweight between the two
areas demonstrating that the nutritional
transition also affects children As a result
the hypothesis is that rural inhabitants have
more access to healthy foods such as fruits
and vegetables as well as having adequate
physical space for planting and growing
gardens and leisure activities in the air free
so they would be less likely to become
obese47 It is necessary in this sense to carry
out further investigations with this public for
a better understanding about the prevalence
of obesity and associated factors in children
residing in this area
The relationship in BMI and the dietary
pattern between mother and child in this
review was observed especially in urban
children These findings may support genetic
causation but environmental and family
components should be considered since
parents and the family environment are the
primary influences of life habits that children
tend to follow It is understood that family
practices such as food consumption absence
of physical activity hours in front of the
television or computer are examples that
directly influence the choices and
conditioning of the individual in relation to
habits of life48
Among the studies analyzed in this review
nine of them evaluated the socioeconomic
status of the participants and from these
one found a significant association between
the higher socioeconomic level and the lower
child BMI34 Evidence suggests that
socioeconomic status is an important element
associated with obesity although the existing
literature is not consensual There was a
direct association between higher family
income and obesity in schoolchildren 12
justifying that greater access to consumer
goods stimulates sedentariness such as
excessive use of the computer In addition
due to the higher purchasing power access to
an inadequate nutritional standard such as
the use of sugary drinks delicacies and
industrialized foods of high energy value49
t was found that more than half of the
studies 75 (n = 12) are of the transverse
type characterized as level 4 of scientific
evidence 19 (n = 3) are descriptive cohort
studies characterized as level 3 of evidence
and 6 (n = 1) are of systematic review
characterized as level 1 of evidence however
because they are not randomized controlled
clinical trials we can not extract causal
inferences34
It was found with regard to the
representativeness of the samples that 438
(n = 7) of the selected studies had sampling
for convenience It becomes impracticable to
state that the data from the studies analyzed
with non-randomized sampling represent a
population and representative and random
samples are essential from the point of view
of internal and external validity to ensure that

the information collected is extended to the
population50
The lack of studies evaluating the
relationship between nutritional status and
food consumption among children from five to
ten years old and their mothers especially in
rural environments shows that only two of
the articles evaluated in this review presented
it clearly It is known that the family directly
influences the health promotion practices or
the illness of its members since it plays a
fundamental role in the formation of values
beliefs knowledge and habits of life51
Therefore it is necessary in relation to
the factors associated with overweight in
children of longitudinal rural surveys that
assess the highest possible volume of variables
of the mother and child such as the
consumption of sugary drinks non-alcoholic
socioeconomic status BMI level of physical
activity favoring the analysis of the
determinants of this phenomenon of global
magnitude
It is concluded that the results of this
review do not show that nutritional status and
maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children considering that
in this research only one study was conducted
in rural areas and nevertheless it is an
international study that did not compare
maternal and child food consumption It is
therefore recommended to implement more
studies in the rural area mainly in Brazil on
this subject

although the sample of the study population
varies between 60 and 4248 children totaling
13858 participants only one study was
carried out with rural children showing the
lack of research on the subject with the
mentioned public
The prevalence of overweight and
childhood obesity found in the studies in this
review varied between 216 and 51 It is
reported that a systematic review study 44
worldwide identified a substantial increase in
childhood obesity with 238 of boys and
226 of girls in developed countries being
overweight or obese In developing countries
prevalence of overweight and obesity
increased from 81 to 129 in 2013 for boys
and from 84 to 134 in girls
The methodology for collecting the
anthropometric data was used to calculate
the BMI between the studies The weight and
height measures of the children were obtained
by a majority of them (n = 13) through an
evaluation carried out by a trained
researcher In one of the selected studies
these measures were measured by the
respective mothers However it was noticed
that the anthropometric measurements of the
mothers were self-reported in more than half
of the studies (n = 9) Self-reported measures
may include outdated data errors lack of
knowledge or underreporting of overweight45
It was verified that the instruments used
for the evaluation of food consumption were
heterogeneous which makes it difficult to
compare the results found It is noteworthy
that only three studies evaluated the
consumption of non-alcoholic sugary drinks It
is relevant to evaluate this aspect in the
dietary pattern since studies have discussed
the possible association between the
consumption of sugary drinks and the BMI It
was pointed out in the literature review that 46 the overall index of non-alcoholic sugary
beverages consumption is high in the child and
adolescent population and that additional
studies especially follow-up studies should
be implemented to elucidate its effect on BMI
and health in general
It was verified that the majority of the
articles of this revision is international being
only two realized in Brazil In addition most
urban area surveys were carried out with only
one study covering urban and rural areas and
did not find significant differences in the
prevalence of overweight between the two
areas demonstrating that the nutritional
transition also affects children As a result
the hypothesis is that rural inhabitants have
more access to healthy foods such as fruits
and vegetables as well as having adequate
physical space for planting and growing
gardens and leisure activities in the air free
so they would be less likely to become
obese47 It is necessary in this sense to carry
out further investigations with this public for
a better understanding about the prevalence
of obesity and associated factors in children
residing in this area
The relationship in BMI and the dietary
pattern between mother and child in this
review was observed especially in urban
children These findings may support genetic
causation but environmental and family
components should be considered since
parents and the family environment are the
primary influences of life habits that children
tend to follow It is understood that family
practices such as food consumption absence
of physical activity hours in front of the
television or computer are examples that
directly influence the choices and
conditioning of the individual in relation to
habits of life48
Among the studies analyzed in this review
nine of them evaluated the socioeconomic
status of the participants and from these
one found a significant association between
the higher socioeconomic level and the lower
child BMI34 Evidence suggests that
socioeconomic status is an important element
associated with obesity although the existing
literature is not consensual There was a
direct association between higher family
income and obesity in schoolchildren 12
justifying that greater access to consumer
goods stimulates sedentariness such as
excessive use of the computer In addition
due to the higher purchasing power access to
an inadequate nutritional standard such as
the use of sugary drinks delicacies and
industrialized foods of high energy value49
t was found that more than half of the
studies 75 (n = 12) are of the transverse
type characterized as level 4 of scientific
evidence 19 (n = 3) are descriptive cohort
studies characterized as level 3 of evidence
and 6 (n = 1) are of systematic review
characterized as level 1 of evidence however
because they are not randomized controlled
clinical trials we can not extract causal
inferences34
It was found with regard to the
representativeness of the samples that 438
(n = 7) of the selected studies had sampling
for convenience It becomes impracticable to
state that the data from the studies analyzed
with non-randomized sampling represent a
population and representative and random
samples are essential from the point of view
of internal and external validity to ensure that

the information collected is extended to the
population50
The lack of studies evaluating the
relationship between nutritional status and
food consumption among children from five to
ten years old and their mothers especially in
rural environments shows that only two of
the articles evaluated in this review presented
it clearly It is known that the family directly
influences the health promotion practices or
the illness of its members since it plays a
fundamental role in the formation of values
beliefs knowledge and habits of life51
Therefore it is necessary in relation to
the factors associated with overweight in
children of longitudinal rural surveys that
assess the highest possible volume of variables
of the mother and child such as the
consumption of sugary drinks non-alcoholic
socioeconomic status BMI level of physical
activity favoring the analysis of the
determinants of this phenomenon of global
magnitude
It is concluded that the results of this
review do not show that nutritional status and
maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children considering that
in this research only one study was conducted
in rural areas and nevertheless it is an
international study that did not compare
maternal and child food consumption It is
therefore recommended to implement more
studies in the rural area mainly in Brazil on
this subject

the information collected is extended to the
population50
The lack of studies evaluating the
relationship between nutritional status and
food consumption among children from five to
ten years old and their mothers especially in
rural environments shows that only two of
the articles evaluated in this review presented
it clearly It is known that the family directly
influences the health promotion practices or
the illness of its members since it plays a
fundamental role in the formation of values
beliefs knowledge and habits of life51
Therefore it is necessary in relation to
the factors associated with overweight in
children of longitudinal rural surveys that
assess the highest possible volume of variables
of the mother and child such as the
consumption of sugary drinks non-alcoholic
socioeconomic status BMI level of physical
activity favoring the analysis of the
determinants of this phenomenon of global
magnitude
It is concluded that the results of this
review do not show that nutritional status and
maternal eating habits can determine the
overweight of rural children considering that
in this research only one study was conducted
in rural areas and nevertheless it is an
international study that did not compare
maternal and child food consumption It is
therefore recommended to implement more
studies in the rural area mainly in Brazil on
this subject
