Main Results:

  • The number of liked foods in children remained stable between ages 2-8.
  • Early food preferences and food neophobia at age 4 predicted preferences at age 8.
  • Maternal food preferences moderately correlated with children's preferences, influencing food offerings.

Conclusions:

  • Early childhood food preferences play a critical role in later eating habits.
  • Maternal food preferences significantly shape children's food acceptance and dietary exposure.
  • Interventions should consider maternal influence on children's food preferences.
