Associations of food group and nutrient intake diet quality and meal sizes between adults and children in the same household: a cross-sectional analysis of U.S. households

摘要

BackgroundOne might assume that individuals living in the same household have similar dietary intakes of food groups and nutrients. However, the manner in which an adult's dietary intake affects children's food consumption, diet quality (defined as meeting intake recommendations), and meal sizes is understudied to date. The objective of this study was to estimate these relationships between minor children and the female or male head of household.
