Objective: To determine if food-related experiences in the first 2 years of life predict dietary variety in school-aged children. Design/Setting: Child/mother pairs were interviewed 7 or 8 times when children were 2 to 24 months using a randomized incomplete block design to schedule interviews. Each child/mother pair was interviewed when the child was ages 6, 7, and 8 years. Participants: Child/mother pairs (n = 70) were continuous participants in the longitudinal study. Main Outcome Measures: Dependent variables were children's vegetable and fruit dietary variety, assessed from 3 days of dietary data at ages 6, 7, and 8 years. Independent variables front the first 2 years of life were selected from the longitudinal data set. Analyses: General linear models. Adjustments for age that vegetables (or fruits) were introduced in the diet. Results: Vegetable variety in the school-aged child was predicted by mother's vegetable preferences, R-2 = .084. Fruit variety in the school-aged child was predicted by breast-feeding duration and either early fruit variety (R-2 = .254) or fruit exposure (R-2 = .246). Conclusions/Implications: Nutrition education messages for mothers should emphasize the importance of early food-related experiences to school-aged children's acceptance of a variety of vegetables and fruits.
