Abstract: Few studies have observed the longitudinal impact of the child's home food environment on later eating behaviors, diet quality, and body composition. This study aimed to explore this potential relationship while expanding on constructs of the child's home food environment retrospectively in college students. Dietary information and body composition measures were obtained using a 24-hour diet recall, food frequency questionnaire, and the InBody520. A mailed, retrospective survey on the child's home food environment was obtained from caregivers. Child control was negatively associated with percent body fat (p=0.047), waist circumference (p=0.046), and perceived healthy food barriers (p=0.008), and positively associated with consumption of green vegetables and beans (p=0.045) and dairy (p=0.016). The use of negative feeding practices yielded mixed results. Body mass index was positively associated with using food as a reward (p=0.003) and restriction for weight (p=0.013) but negatively associated with emotional regulation (p=0.027) and pressure to eat (p=0.030). Waist circumference was positively associated with using food as a reward (p=0.001) but negatively associated with emotional regulation (p=0.021), pressuring to eat (p=0.025) and restriction for the weight (p=0.020). These findings indicate that the child's home food environment provides both positive and negative influences which transcend into early adulthood.
