| Abstract |
The home food environment affects children’s dietary intake and obesity risk.1,2 Ultraprocessed foods are specifically marketed toward children in an effort to increase intake of these foods. Eye-tracking studies have observed that a higher body mass index (BMI) in children is associated with greater attentional bias toward food, suggesting a complex interplay between the home food environment, dietary habits, and obesity risk.3 Here, we tested the hypothesis that availability of ultraprocessed foods in the home would be positively associated with attentional bias toward images of these types of foods in children. |
