Abstract: 

Socioeconomic inequalities appearing in childhood can determine dietary patterns in children and therefore future health. The aim of the present study was to explore cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between being member (vs. non-member) of a vulnerable group and dietary patterns, and to investigate the effect of accumulated vulnerability on dietary patterns. A total of 9301 children participated in the baseline (2-9 years old) and follow up (4-11 years old) examinations of the Identification and Prevention of Dietary- and Lifestyle-induced Health Effects in Children and Infants (IDEFICS) study. We identified three dietary patterns previously obtained by applying k-means clustering algorithm: processed, sweet and healthy. We used multinomial mixed models to assess the associations between the exposures we used to characterise vulnerable groups: social network (children whose parents lack of a social network), family structure (children of single parents), migrant origin (children of migrant origin) and employment status (children with either one or both parents unemployed) and children’s dietary patterns. Children whose parents lack of a social network and migrants were more likely to be in the processed cluster at two time points. Children whose parents were homemakers or on a paternal leave were less likely to be in the processed cluster at baseline. A higher number of vulnerabilities were associated with a higher probability of children being in the processed cluster. These results are important for policy makers, who should pay special attention to children of vulnerable groups as they present unhealthier dietary patterns over the time.
