Fussy eating is mainly influenced by genes and is a stable trait from toddlerhood to early adolescence, finds a new study led by Dr Zeynep Nas (also on Bluesky) with Dr Clare Llewellyn Behavioural Science & Health UCL and colleagues King's College London University of Leeds. Funded by MQ ucl.ac.uk/news/2024/sep/…

🚨 NEW PAPER OUT IN Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry 🚨 Using Gemini Study UCL data, we found that fussy eating is stable across childhood and has a significant genetic influence overtime🧬 UCL News Behavioural Science & Health UCL Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology & Neuroscience @UniLeedsNews MQ Read the paper here 👇 🔗doi.org/10.1111/jcpp.1…

Thanks to superstar co-1st author Moritz, the amazing Andrea Smith , @alicekini , Rachel Bryant-Waugh & fabulous joint senior authors Alison Fildes & Clare Llewellyn ✨ Thank you also to MQ for supporting this impactful work 🌟
