研究发现,遗传学会严重影响儿童的挑逗饮食习惯,特别是随着他们的年龄变大。 Study finds genetics heavily influence children's fussy eating habits, especially as they age.

《儿童心理学和精神病学杂志》的一项新研究表明,儿童大吃大餐主要是遗传性的,在16个月时,遗传学占食品小吃总数的60%,在3至13岁之间,占74%以上。 A new study in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry indicates that fussy eating in children is largely genetic, with genetics accounting for 60% of food fussiness at 16 months and over 74% between ages three and 13. 这项研究由MQ心理健康研究资助,分析了父母对16个月至13岁双胞胎的调查。 The research, funded by MQ Mental Health Research, analyzed parent surveys of twins from 16 months to 13 years. 虽然分享家庭饮食在幼儿期更加重要,但随着儿童年老,个人经历变得更有影响力。 While shared home diets mattered more in toddlerhood, individual experiences became more influential as children aged.
