Sommaire de l'article

Foods advertised were recorded in two TV Mexican channels and studied the association with the ones consumed by mothers and children. A total of 365 mothers and their children were assessed. A positive correlation was observed between the food advertisements that the mothers recalled and the frequency of TV food advertisements (Rho = 0.44, p = 0.03). A positive correlation was found between the frequency of the foods advertised on TV and the consumption of these by the mothers (r = 0.73, p = 0.0001) and their children (Rho = 0.66, p = 0.0001). These results suggest that TV advertisement influence the food choices of mothers and children.
