The prevalence and factors associated with food neophobia in preschool children: a cross-sectional study in Jiangsu Province, China
Parental feeding style, child temperament, parents' own willingness to try new foods and food preparation, and children's history of food allergies are important factors influencing food neophobia. The results of the study can be used in the future to explore more variables related to food neophobia in children and to seek effective targets for intervention.
