Objectives The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of food neophobia in pre-school children and its association with eating habits, dietary intake and anthropometric parameters. Design Cross-sectional survey performed in 2012–2013. The Child Food Neophobia Scale (CFNS) adapted by Wardle, Carnell and Cooke was used to assess the level of food neophobia. Dietary intake was measured using an FFQ and dietary records from three days. Anthropometric measurements were taken to determine children’s nutritional status and BMI was computed based on Polish growth charts. Wilcoxon’s rank test and Pearson’s rank-correlation coefficient were applied to compare the level of food neophobia and frequency of consumption of food products and nutrient intakes. Setting Kindergartens in southern Poland located in or near Cracow. Subjects Three hundred and twenty-five pre-school children and their parents. Results Low neophobia was observed in 12·3 % and high neophobia in 10·8 % of the children examined. Children with a high level of neophobia were significantly less likely ( P Conclusions High levels of neophobia are associated with diet variation and may enhance the risk of nutritional deficiencies in children
