“…Our data confirm reports from others concluding that incorporating milk and milk products into the diets of adolescent girls is the best way to achieve adequate intakes of calcium and other bone-related nutrients (8,9,10,17). For those who avoid milk and milk products, dietary guidance must consider strategies for replacing not only calcium but other significant nutrients supplied by milk as well, within appropriate energy levels.…”

“…Milk and milk products contribute significant levels of calcium and other essential nutrients to the nation’s food supply (5). Meeting dietary calcium recommendations without consuming dairy foods is difficult (2,6,7,8) and studies show that diets low in calcium and dairy foods tend to be low in multiple nutrients (9,10). However, 77% of U.S. children age 9–19 do not consume the recommended 3 servings/day from the milk and milk products food group (11) and nearly 90% of U.S. teenage girls do not meet the calcium adequate intake (AI) of 1300 mg/day (12).…”

Objective-To assess the impact of calcium-fortified foods and dairy foods on selected nutrient intakes in the diets of adolescent girls. Design-Randomized controlled trial, secondary analysis.Setting and Participants-149 adolescent girls from a Midwestern metropolitan area participated in randomized controlled trials of bone physiology from 1997 to 2008.Intervention-Subjects randomly assigned to a high calcium (HC) diet supplying 1500 mg calcium/day, or their usual diet (UC).Main Outcome Measures-Dietary intake was assessed from 3-day food records and calcium intakes categorized by food source. Food group composites, representing calcium-fortified and dairy food categories, were examined for their relative nutrient contributions. Students t tests were used to evaluate differences in selected nutrient intakes between the two study groups.Results-Dairy foods contributed 68% of the total mean 1494 mg calcium/d in the HC group, and calcium-fortified foods contributed 304 mg calcium. In the UC group dairy foods contributed 69% of the total mean 765 mg calcium/d and calcium-fortified foods contributed 50 mg Ca. Nutrient profiles of the dairy composites differed significantly from the calcium-fortified composites (p< 0.05).Conclusions and Implications-Dairy foods were the primary source of calcium selected by these adolescent girls; calcium-fortified foods augmented calcium intakes.

“…1). A strategy to increase intake of reduced-fat milk in older children might focus on both increasing milk intake at breakfast time (where intake is high but breakfast is not consumed by all children) and promoting intake of milk at other meal or snack occasions ( 20 ) (where fewer Australian children consume milk and therefore an opportunity exists to introduce new dietary habits).…”

Objective: Dairy food consumption is important for Australian children as it contributes key nutrients such as protein and Ca. The aim of the present paper is to describe dietary intake from dairy foods for Australian children aged 2-16 years in 2007. Design: Secondary analysis of a quota-sampled survey using population-weighted, 1 d (24 h) dietary recall data. Setting: Australian national survey conducted from February to August 2007. Subjects: Children (n 4487) aged 2-16 years. Results: Most Australian children consumed dairy foods (84-98 %), with the proportion consuming tending to decrease with age and males consuming significantly more than females from the age of 4 years. Milk was the most commonly consumed dairy food (58-88 %) and consumed in the greatest amount (243-384 g/d). Most children consumed regular-fat dairy products. The contribution of dairy foods to total energy intake decreased with age; from 22 % of total energy at age 2-3 years to 11 % at age 14-16 years. This trend was similar for all nutrients analysed. Dairy food intake peaked between 06.00 and 10.00 hours (typical breakfast hours) corresponding with the peak in dairy Ca intake. Australian children (older than 4 years) did not reach recommendations for dairy food intake, consuming #2 servings/d. Conclusions:The under-consumption of dairy foods by Australian children has important implications for intake of key nutrients and should be addressed by multiple strategies.

“…Having a dairy food at the first occasion of eating contributes about 50% (48%–52%) of the total energy from dairy food for the day to children in that age range. A recent leading article makes the point for US children that “those who avoid milk must plan a strategy for replacing the nutrients contributed by milk or they are likely to fall short of the recommendations for calcium and other nutrients” [47]. A similar point can be made for Australian children who do not consume a dairy food or its nutritional equivalent at their first occasion of eating—they are unlikely to meet the recommendations for dairy food intake.…”

Dairy Food at the First Occasion of Eating Is Important for Total Dairy Food Intake for Australian Children

The cross-sectional 2007 Australian National Children’s Nutrition and Physical Activity Survey collected detailed dietary information from a representative sample of more than 4400 children by 24-h dietary recall. Dairy food intake by Australian children is substantially lower than recommendations, and decreases as a percentage of energy intake as children grow older. Children aged 2 to 16 years are, on average, 2.3 times more likely to have a dairy food at the first daily occasion of eating, than at the second occasion. For children who consumed any dairy food at the first occasion of eating, the total daily intake of dairy foods was 129% (95% CI 120%–138%) greater than for children who did not consume a dairy food at the first occasion of eating. Their dairy food intake for the rest of the day following the first occasion of eating was also greater by 29% (95% CI 21%–37%). Younger age group, male sex, location of eating being at home or in a residence and starting the first occasion of eating from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m. are all jointly associated with having a dairy food at the first occasion of eating. A simple strategy to increase Australian children’s intake from the dairy and alternatives food group may be to make sure that the first occasion of eating each day includes a dairy food or a nutritional equivalent.
