Reduced fat taste sensitivity was found in nearly half of the children, linking it to higher BMI and obesity.
Children with obesity exhibited significantly higher fat taste detection thresholds (median 3.00 mM) compared to non-obese peers (median 1.50 mM).
Using the 3-alternative forced choice method, children's taste sensitivity was evaluated with linoleic acid and sucrose to determine detection thresholds.
Identifying reduced fat taste sensitivity highlights dietary considerations in childhood obesity prevention efforts.
