This study analyzes some health-related habits in a sample of families with children aged 3-5 years. Objectives: To study the life habits of preschoolers aged between 3-5 years and their parents, the degree of body dissatisfaction of the parents, and the possible relationships between these factors. Methodology: A survey was carried out to identify some life habits, and the IMAGE questionnaire was applied to evaluate the degree of body dissatisfaction in mothers and fathers. The sample was composed of 52 families (51 mothers and 40 fathers, 25 boys and 21 girls). Results: The results for mothers, fathers and children are presented separately. Relationships between them were analyzed by Pearson’s correlation coefficient with regard to the consumption of fruits, vegetables, sweet foods, pastry, hours of sleep and body dissatisfaction. It was found a significant relationship between parents and children regarding vegetables intake; and a significant correlation between mothers and fathers in relation to the consumption of sweet foods, hours of sleep and degree of body dissatisfaction. Discussion: The present findings indicate the presence of unhealthy life habits in a considerable proportion of the adults: low consumption of fruits and vegetables, high consumption of red meat, limited physical activity and insufficient sleep, together with high levels of negative perceptions of their own bodies. Conclusions: Governments and competent authorities are encouraged to develop public policies aimed at supporting families in adopting healthy life habits.
