This study clarifies the effects of growing up in mother-to-child households in childhood on eating behaviors in adulthood. We conducted a quantitative analysis, using individual data from the Japanese Life Course Panel Surveys for the Middle-aged and the Youth. Our statistical analysis indicates that adults raised in mother-to-child households are more likely to skip breakfast in adulthood in the aftermath of a skipping breakfast trend in childhood. However, although family circumstances in childhood affect having a nutritionally-balanced diet in adulthood, whether such behaviors emerge from mother-to-child households is not indicated.
