Summary: Disordered eating behaviors (DEBs) and adolescent pregnancy are public health concerns, but there is little evidence on the relationship between DEB and gestational weight gain (GWG) and birth weight and length of adolescents' offspring. The study found that 50% of adolescents had at least one DEB, with DEB associated with GWG but not with the birth weight or length of the offspring.

Summary: Adolescent classical ballet dancers are at risk of nutritional vulnerability due to their need to maintain a lean body shape during a period of rapid growth. Research on adult dancers has shown a high risk of disordered eating behaviors (DEBs), but there is limited research on adolescent dancers. This study compared body composition, dietary habits, and DEBs between female adolescent classical ballet dancers and their non-dancer peers. Results showed that the dancers had lower weight, BMIs, and body circumferences, along with leaner skinfolds and less fat mass compared to the controls. However, no significant differences were found in eating habits and DEB scores between the two groups, although 23.3% of participants scored >= 20 on the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26), indicating the presence of DEBs.

Summary: This research investigates how packaging materials bias perceived packaging healthiness and real food consumption. Across five studies and two different food product categories (healthy vs. unhealthy), the authors demonstrate that paper packaging, compared with plastic packaging, decreases consumption amounts of food products. We demonstrate that health goal activations explains this effect as paper packaging can be considered a health-related cue.

Summary: The study suggests that individual differences in decision-making research on heuristics and cognitive biases have been overlooked, and reliable measures are needed. While there are currently reliable measures for some cognitive biases, improvements are needed for others, such as confirmation bias. Empirical work showed that adjustments can significantly improve some measures and confirmation bias can be reliably measured. Overall, the study highlights that measurement of individual differences in cognitive biases is still in its early stages, with a particular need for improved or developed contextualized measures.

Summary: This narrative review provides an overview of interventions to manage eating problems after cancer treatment, including food-based interventions, eating behavioral interventions, psychosocial support interventions, and physical interventions. While there is more evidence supporting physical interventions, there is a need for more research on other types of interventions. Future studies should focus on the effects of interventions among different groups of survivors.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the effects of environmental factors on eating behavior and food intake in toddlers. The results showed that food fussiness was more common in older children, children conceived with medical assistance, children exposed to distractions during meals, rewarded by parents to finish meals, free to eat at will, and those who ate only occasionally with the whole family. Unsatisfactory dietary diversification was not significantly associated with any variable.

Summary: The UK's aging population requires promotion of balanced nutrition, with a particular focus on increasing dietary fiber intake. Surveys involving older adults showed their willingness to learn about dietary fiber and the need for accessible information. Educational materials proved effective in engaging older adults and were perceived as useful. A holistic approach, involving support from various sources, can aid in improving dietary fiber consumption and overall health outcomes among older adults.

Summary: Overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after spinal cord injury (SCI) may be related to how persons with SCI experience satiation, their eating frequency, and the context in which they eat their meals. Those with SCI rely less on physiological satiation cues for meal termination and instead rely more on hedonic cues. There are differences in meal contexts and eating frequency between SCI individuals and controls, with SCI individuals consuming fewer meals but having a higher overall eating frequency due to increased snacking. These factors likely contribute to overeating associated with neurogenic obesity after SCI.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between executive functions and cognition during adolescence, and the intake of fat and sugar two years later. The study found that higher impulsivity and reward-seeking behaviors were related to greater fat and sugar intake in males, while higher negative urgency and BMI were related to greater intake in both sexes. These findings suggest that individuals with certain traits may be more at risk for weight gain due to overconsumption of unhealthy foods.

Summary: The COVID-19 pandemic and associated lockdowns resulted in changes in food accessibility and availability, leading to shifts in food habits and behaviors among people worldwide. A study conducted in Australia examined the self-reported changes in food habits and behaviors of adults during the COVID-19 restrictions in 2020. The majority of respondents reported developing positive food habits, such as trying new recipes, cooking from scratch, and reducing take-away meals. The study also found that family involvement in food preparation and eating together increased during the restrictions. However, there were negative experiences, including difficulties in purchasing certain foods and limited access to food outlets.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the association between sensory reactivity and feeding problems in young children. The results showed that taste/smell sensitivity was significantly associated with difficulties in texture transition/introduction, limited variety of foods, and both feeding problems. Additionally, children with total sensory reactivity or auditory filtering sensory reactivity had a higher prevalence of consuming a limited variety of foods. These findings highlight the importance of considering sensory reactivity as a potential predictor of feeding problems.
