Identified publications from a systematic review of studies and methodological approaches to measure preschool children's sensory satisfaction with meals

Abstract

This dataset contains the publications identified in a systematic literature review of studies and methodological approaches that measures preschool children’s sensory satisfaction with meals and were published between January 2010 and February 2024. It documents which studies were retained for further analysis and the criteria used to exclude unsuitable studies. Empirical studies published in English or German were included if they assessed the sensory satisfaction of healthy children aged 4 to 6 years with meals. The identified studies were evaluated using eight different criteria. Two reviewers screened the studies identified in the two databases PubMed and ScienceDirect independently and in parallel. Of the initial 4,775 publications, 32 studies were considered for further analysis.
