Objective: The present study, conducted with a population-based preschool children sample, aimed to examine
the prevalence rates of picky eating according to the presence of the avoidance or restriction of food intake,
searching for picky-eating correlates.
Methods: 959 children from 1.5 to 6 years old were evaluated by their parents and caregivers/teachers. Picky
eating was assessed by CBCL 1.5–5 and C-TRF, following Cano et al.'s (2015) procedure.
Results: The prevalence of picky eating was 25.1%. The comparison of the picky-eating group and the non-pickyeating
group indicated that picky eatingwas more common in older children and in children from lower-income
families with younger parents. Significant associations were found between picky eating, pregnancy and birth
delivery complications. Emotional and behavioral problems were also found to differentiate picky eaters and
non-picky eaters using DSM-5-oriented subscales. The results of a binary logistic regression analysis revealed
that children with somatic complaints and attention problems were more likely to be picky eaters.
Discussion: Picky eating in preschool children should be considered together with sociodemographic features,
pregnancy and delivery issues, and the presence of emotional and behavioral problems. Our results support
the possibility that picky eating, as a specific eating pattern, could also be part of a broader pattern of behavioral
problems in children.
