AbstractUnhealthy eating, a risk factor for eating disorders (EDs) and obesity, often coexists with emotional and behavioral problems; however, the underlying neurobiological mechanisms are poorly understood. Analyzing data from the longitudinal IMAGEN adolescent cohort, we investigated associations between eating behaviors, genetic predispositions for high body mass index (BMI) using polygenic scores (PGSs), and trajectories (ages 14–23 years) of ED-related psychopathology and brain maturation.

The study, published in the Journal of Child Psychology & Psychiatry and funded by the UK mental health charity MQ Mental Health Research, compared survey results of parents with identical or non-identical twins in England and Wales from the ages of 16 months to 13 years. The research team found that average levels of food fussiness were relatively stable during this period, peaking somewhat around the age of seven and declining slightly after that.

Introduction Food fussiness describes the tendency to eat a limited range of foods, often due to pickiness regarding flavour or texture, and/or the reluctance to try new foods and flavours. FF or picky eating is common and typically develops early in life (during toddlerhood) with prevalence rates ranging between 6% and 50% (Machado, Dias, Lima, Campos, & Gonçalves, 2016; Mascola, Bryson, & Agras, 2010; Taylor, Wernimont, Northstone, & Emmett, 2015).
