    Introduction: The relationship between four parental feeding practices from the Comprehensive Feeding Practices Questionnaire for adolescents (CFPQ-Teen) and Satisfaction With Foodrelated Life (SWFoL) in adolescents was evaluated, using diet quality measured through the Adapted Healthy Eating Index (AHEI) as a mediating variable.The participants were 860 adolescents aged 10 to 16 years of both sexes who responded to four factors on the CFPQ-Teen, the food satisfaction scale, and the diet quality index. Structural equation analysis was used in a structural mediation model on a polychoric correlation matrix using the weighted least squares mean-variance adjusted (WLSMV) method.Results: Diet quality was a mediating factor in the interaction between two parental practices related to parental modeling and adolescent control over SWFoL. There was evidence of a direct relationship between monitoring and restriction factors for weight control and SWFoL.The findings indicate that the associations between parental feeding practices and food satisfaction may be direct or mediated by diet quality in adolescents.
