[Relashionship between the mother's educational level and child feeding in a series of preschool children in Bacau Town].

UNLABELLED
Child growth and development are decisively influensed by feeding. This depends on parent's financial resources and food habits, most often tradition-related.


AIM
To determine how important mother's educational level is in this respect.


MATERIAL AND METHODS
The study was carried out on a series of 153 preschool children from two kindergartens in Bacău town. Their parents filled out a questionnaire on the frequency of weekly food consumption.


RESULTS
64.5% of the mothers of the children included in this study had a higher education. Most children had milk 4-7 times a week, cheese 2-3 times a week, eggs and chicken 2-3 times a week, and fruits 4-7 times a week. The diffrences in feeding provided by mothers with higher education and those less educated were statistically insignificant, food habits being quite similar.


CONCLUSIONS
A good knowledge of food habits in a poplation is essential for developing programs aimed at changing the unhealthy ones.
