We conducted a systematic review of the functional analysis of inappropriate mealtime behavior in peer-reviewed studies in PsycINFO, ERIC, PubMed, and the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis between 2000-2016. We identified 18 studies involving 86 functional analyses. We coded descriptive data and calculated summary statistics in addition to conducting a quality appraisal of the literature. We identified escape, exclusively or in part, as the maintaining reinforcer for inappropriate mealtime behavior in 92% of cases. Results indicate that differentiated functional analyses of inappropriate mealtime behavior can be obtained, and outcomes are consistent with etiological theories of food refusal behavior. We discuss procedural differences across studies as well as directions for future research.

Barriers and Facilitators to Implementing Food is Medicine for the Management of Type 2 Diabetes in China.
J Gen Intern Med
December 2024
School of Public Health, Harbin Medical University, Harbin, China.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the feasibility of implementing the 'Food is Medicine' intervention for managing type 2 diabetes in China, considering the distinct dietary culture and habits.
- Interviews and focus groups were conducted with 97 individuals across three Chinese provinces, revealing concerns about meal costs and dietary knowledge, while identifying key facilitators like clinician support and community collaboration.
- Despite some barriers, the research suggests that tailored 'Food is Medicine' interventions could be effective in addressing type 2 diabetes in China by leveraging local resources and practices.
Continuous glucose monitoring in para cyclists: An observational study.

Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) is an emerging tool for dietary counseling in athletes. This study aimed to explore blood glucose profiles in Para cyclists and evaluate CGM accuracy at rest and during exercise. Thirteen Para cyclists, comprising eight hand bikers and five cyclists, wore a CGM sensor (Abbott) for 2 weeks.

Background: Lifestyle factors of medical doctors are essential to their health and well-being. Previous studies omitted factors that constituted a healthy lifestyle and did not differentiate between various medical specialties or level of seniority which may expose doctors to different stress levels, workload and responsibility. The study assessed the lifestyle factors of medical doctors and compared them between departments, levels of seniority, years of experience and gender according to globally recognised health standards.

Article Synopsis
- Inappropriate meal timing may lead to lifestyle-related diseases by disrupting the circadian clock in the body, but it's unclear how this compares to genetic alterations in clock genes.
- This study compared the impacts of a 28-hour feeding cycle and a specific genetic alteration (Bmal1 cKO) on gene expression in mice's uterine tissues.
- Results showed that while both conditions led to significant changes in gene expression, the specific genes affected were largely different and often oppositely regulated, indicating distinct pathways influenced by meal timing and genetic factors.
On the efficacy and efficiency of treating pediatric feeding disorder.
J Appl Behav Anal
October 2024
Department of Applied Disability Studies, Brock University, St. Catharines, ON, Canada.
Inappropriate mealtime behavior (IMB) is a type of feeding challenge within the broader class of food refusal. The purpose of this study was to critically analyze the efficacy of interventions for the treatment of IMB through a meta-analysis of research using single-case experimental designs. We examined the extent to which different interventions resulted in decreases in IMB while also producing increases in food acceptance.
