Children who have their meals at home enjoy a healthier diet and are at lower risk from obesity than their peers, researchers say.
A study from the University of Granada found a direct link between who prepared a child’s lunch and how healthy they were.
Writing in the journal Nutricion hospitalaria, the authors said: ‘The mother is the family member who best knows the nutritional needs of children and has the strongest nutritional knowledge for the preparation of children’s meals.’
The findings come amid an ongoing campaign for healthier meals in UK schools, which TV chef Jamie Oliver has championed since 2005.
Since 2006 schools have had to provide meals that meet national nutritional standards. These require high-quality meat or oily fish featuring regularly on the menu and two portions of fruit and veg with every meal. Deep-fried food has been limited to no more than two portions per week.
At the end of 2011 Mr Oliver raised concerns about the quality of meals in some academy schools, which are not obliged to adhere to the national standards.
The School Food Trust has been examining the quality of meals in state-funded but privately-run schools and will release a report on its findings later this month.
In the Granada study researchers analysed 718 children aged between 9-17 years from 13 different schools, and assessed each child’s family environment, exercise habits and how often they ate certain foods.
They then measured their weight, size and body mass index (BMI).
The research found a clear link between sedentary hobbies and high BMI, meaning that the more time a child devoted to watching TV, playing video games and surfing the internet, the more likely they were to be obese.
The team concluded that it is ‘extremely important’ for families to pass healthy habits on to their children, especially a love of exercise.

Cette étude de l’Université de Grenade qui révèle que pour l’enfant, manger à la maison, un repas préparé par sa mère, réduit significativement le risque d’obésité infantile, ne doit, en aucun cas culpabiliser les mères qui doivent laisser leurs enfants déjeuner à la cantine. Cependant, l’étude montre que ces enfants qui ont la chance de pouvoir déjeuner à la maison avec leur mère présentent un meilleur état nutritionnel. Des résultats publiés dans la dernière édition de la revue Nutrición Hospitalaria.
Les chercheurs ont sélectionné 718 écoliers âgés de 9 à 17 ans dans 13 écoles publiques et privées de la province de Grenade, relevé des mesures anthropométriques, évalué le poids des enfants, la taille et leur indice de masse corporelle (IMC), mesuré les plis cutanés sur 6 endroits du corps. Un questionnaire a été rempli sur les habitudes nutritionnelles de l’enfant. L’étude
– confirme une relation significative directe entre l’état nutritionnel des enfants et la personne qui prépare leur repas.
– Le moindre risque de souffrir d’obésité est constaté pour les enfants dont les repas sont préparés par leur mère, vs une autre personne que leur mère. En conséquence, les enfants qui ne mangent pas chez eux présentent un moins bon état nutritionnel.
– Les chercheurs confirment également la relation significative entre les loisirs sédentaires (télévision, jeux vidéo…) et l’IMC.
Pourquoi ? «La mère est la personne de la famille qui connaît le mieux les besoins nutritionnels de ses enfants et a les meilleures connaissances nutritionnelles pour la préparation des repas des enfants », expliquent les chercheurs, dont María José Cordero Aguilar et Emilio González Jiménez (Département des sciences infirmières).

A new study has confirmed that the nutritional status of children strongly relies on the person who prepares their meal.
University of Granada researchers found that children who eat at home present a better nutritional status and are at a lower risk of suffering obesity than children whose meal is prepared by a person other than their mother.
At present, «the mother is the family member who best knows the nutritional needs of children and has the strongest nutritional knowledge for the preparation of children’s meals,» the researchers stated.
For the study, the researchers sampled 718 school children aged between 9 and 17 years from 13 public and private schools located in the province of Granada, Spain.
By using anthropometric measurements, the researchers assessed children’s weight, size and body mass index (BMI) by age and sex. Skin-fold measurements were performed at six sites- waist, hips, arms and thighs.
In addition, the researchers designed a questionnaire to assess the children’s family environment, consumption frequency of specific foods, and physical exercise habits. Their aim was to examine the relationship between family environment and obesity in childhood.
Researches found that there is a relationship between sedentary leisure habits and BMI. Statistically significant differences were found in BMI between children with sedentary habits and children with good physical exercise habits. Thus, the more time devoted to watching TV, playing video games and internet surfing, the higher the BMI.
The researchers concluded that, «it is extremely important» that healthy habits are promoted and encouraged within the family; children should play «traditional games», which usually involve physical exercise. Healthy habits and physical exercise are essential for keeping children healthy.

718 Children from Granada
The researchers sampled 718 school children aged between 9-17 years from 13 public and private schools located in the province of Granada, Spain. By using anthropometric measurements, the researchers assessed children’s weight, size and body mass index (BMI) by age and sex. Skinfold measurements were performed at six sites: biceps, triceps, subscapular, supraspinale, calf and thigh, in other words: waist, hips, arms and thighs.
In addition, the University of Granada researchers designed a questionnaire to assess the children’s family environment, consumption frequency of specific foods, and physical exercise habits. Their aim was to examine the relationship between family environment and obesity and overweight in childhood.
Sedentary Leisure
Researches found that there is a relationship between sedentary leisure habits and BMI. Statistically significant differences were found in BMI between children with sedentary habits and children with good physical exercise habits. Thus, the more time devoted to watching TV, playing video games and Internet surfing, the higher the BMI.
The researchers concluded that «it is extremely important» that healthy habits are promoted and encouraged within the family; children should play «traditional games», which usually involve physical exercise. Healthy habits and physical exercise are essential for achieving healthy children.

GRANADA, Spain—New research published in the journal Nutrición hospitalaria adds to the theory that a child’s nutrition is strongly influenced by the person who prepares their meal.
