Few data are available investigating the ED of the diets of preschool children. The aim of this paper was to use data from the Irish National PreSchool Nutrition Survey to determine nutrients and foods associated with dietary ED in 1-4 year old children (n = 500). Food intake data collected by a 4 day weighed food record were analysed using a modified version of WISP g (Tinuviel Software, Anglesey, UK) containing McCance and Widdowson's The Composition of Foods, 6 th Edition (1) and the Irish Food Composition Database (2). Mean dietary ED (kcal/g) was calculated including (a) food only (1.53 kcal/g), (b) food & milk (1.24 kcal/g), (c) food, milk & fruit juices (1.19 kcal/g) (d) food and beverages > 5 kcal/100 g (1.13 kcal/g) and (e) food and all beverages (0.92 kcal/g). For all methods, dietary ED increased with age from 1-4 years. Children were classified by tertile of their dietary ED (calculated using food and all beverages), stratified by age. Mean daily intakes of energy and (energy adjusted) nutrients and foods by tertile of dietary ED are reported.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
