Influence of grandparents on the dietary intake of their 2 –12‐year‐old grandchildren: A systematic review
ConclusionsGrandparents in caregiving roles may negatively influence the dietary intake and weight status of their grandchildren. More rigorous, targeted studies are required to further define the mechanisms by which grandparents’ knowledge, attitudes and feeding behaviours may influence child dietary intake. This review suggests that grandparents may be an important audience to target in future child nutrition interventions.
