  abstract     = {{Adoption of healthy dietary and snacking habits could support optimum physical and mental
development in children as they define health in adulthood. This study assessed parameters
associated with children’s snacking such as food home availability, parenting practices, and
parents’ health beliefs. In this cross-sectional study 12, 039 children, 49.4% boys 5-12 years
old, participating in the European Feel4Diabetes-Study were included. Children’s weekly
consumption of sweets and salty snacks, home availability of snacks, food parenting
practices, and health beliefs were assessed via questionnaires. Logistic regression was applied
to explore associations of a) home availability of snacks, b) food parenting practices
(permissiveness and rewarding with snacks) and c) parent’s opinions on deterministic health
beliefs with children’s consumption of sweets and salty snacks. Results showed that home
availability (sweets: ORadj 4.76, 95%CI: 4.32, 5.23; salty snacks: ORadj: 6.56, 95%CI: 5.64,
7.61), allowing to consume (sweets: ORadj: 3.29, 95%CI: 2.95, 3.67; salty snacks: ORadj:
3.41, 95%CI: 2.98, 3.90) and rewarding with sweets/salty snacks (sweets: ORadj: 2.69,
95%CI: 2.23, 3.24; salty snacks: ORadj: 4.34, 95%CI: 3.57, 5.28) ‘sometimes/or less
frequently’ compared to ‘always/or often’ were associated with lower weekly consumption of
sweets and snacks. Parents’ disagreement compared to agreement with deterministic health
beliefs and inattentive eating were associated with lower consumption of salty snacks and
sweets in children. Overall, the findings of this study indicate that attempts to promote
healthy snacking habits in children should aim to improve parental dietary habits, food
parenting practices, health beliefs, and reducing home availability of unhealthy foods and
snacks.}},
