Factors associated with french fry consumption among two year olds in the 2005 Oregon PRAMS-2 cohort

French fries are the most commonly consumed vegetable among U.S. toddlers aged 15–24 months, despite being energy‑dense and high in fat. Their frequent consumption reflects broader socioeconomic patterns associated with poor diet quality, low physical activity, and increased obesity risk. This study aims to estimate the prevalence of french fry intake in early childhood and examine related risk factors, including parental feeding practices, role‑modeling, and the social and cultural environments shaping children’s eating habits. Understanding these patterns may offer insight into how early dietary behaviors emerge within larger sociological frameworks of class and health.
