Among adults, a stronger sense of coherence (SOC) seems to promote a better coping with strain and is associated with healthier behaviours, including eating patterns. The parents' SOC may also have a wider effect on the health behaviour of their children. The aim of this study is to determine whether there are associations between parents' SOC and the eating patterns of their children and if this can be explained by mediating factors.
