Further, maternal and children\u2019s weight status relationships are well-established. In this study, we analyzed the body composition of parent\u2013child dyads using bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA). Fifty-one children aged 8\u201312 years, with an ND (n = 18) and without (n = 33), and their parents, participated in a 7-week food-based Taste Education intervention with 6-month follow-up. The paired t-test was used to compare differences in body composition based on children\u2019s ND status. In logistic regression analysis, odds of children being in the overweight\/obese or overfat\/obese categories increased by a factor of 9.1 and 10.6, respectively, when having NDs, adjusting for parents\u2019 BMI (body mass index) or fat percentage (FAT%). Children with NDs and their parents had significantly higher mean BMI-SDS (BMI standard deviation score) and FAT% at pre-intervention than children without NDs and their parents. Mean BMI-SDS and FAT% lowered significantly between time points for children with NDs and their parents but not for children without NDs or their parents. The findings underline the need for additional exploration into the relationships between children\u2019s and parents\u2019 body composition based on children\u2019s ND status.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu15122788","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,19]],"date-time":"2023-06-19T01:59:51Z","timestamp":1687139991000},"page":"2788","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Body Composition in Fussy-Eating Children, with and without Neurodevelopmental Disorders, and Their Parents, Following a Taste Education Intervention"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8412-7049","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sigrun","family":"Thorsteinsdottir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Promotion, Sport and Leisure Studies, School of Education, University of Iceland, Stakkahlid, 105 Reykjavik, Iceland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7121-9689","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ragnar","family":"Bjarnason","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, School of Health Sciences, University of Iceland, Laeknagardur 4th Floor, Vatnsmyrarvegur 16, 101 Reykjavik, Iceland"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, National University Hospital, Hringbraut, 101 Reykjavik, Iceland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Helga G.","family":"Eliasdottir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Promotion, Sport and Leisure Studies, School of Education, University of Iceland, Stakkahlid, 105 Reykjavik, Iceland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7258-1727","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anna S.","family":"Olafsdottir","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health Promotion, Sport and Leisure Studies, School of Education, University of Iceland, Stakkahlid, 105 Reykjavik, Iceland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Wabitsch, M., Moss, A., and Kromeyer-Hauschild, K.
