Description

Marion Lecorguillé and colleagues study what shapes toddlers' diets in a French birth cohort, from family social position to migration background. Diet-linked chronic disease shows stark social gaps, yet few studies have weighed family factors in full, including fathers' traits.

A long-term socio-ecological model was used, with diet patterns found by principal component analysis as outcomes in multivariable linear regression. Models added maternal immigrant status, schooling, older siblings, single motherhood, and age first, then job, then household income, with matching analyses for fathers. Health teams get a family-wide map of how social position and migration shape what young children eat.
