Description
Sevasti Peraki and co-authors examine how parents shape how closely Greek children follow a Mediterranean diet. Their 2026 study covers 760 parent-child pairs in Crete. Children were scored on a diet index, and parents reported their own diet, activity, sleep, food knowledge, and screen habits.
About one third of children scored in the best band, and younger children scored higher. Children ate closer to the diet when parents did too, when meals kept a steady daily pattern, and when water intake was high. Scores fell with older parents, higher parent weight, sweet drinks, and long weekend screen time. The authors back family-wide plans that put parent habits at the center.
