Objective: To compare the intake of key indicator foods at age 12 months and 18 months between infants of Pakistani and White British origin. Design: Logistic regression was used to model associations between ethnicity and consumption of key indicator foods defined by high or low energy density using an FFQ at age 12 and 18 months. Setting: Born in Bradford 1000 study, Bradford, UK. Subjects: Infants (n 1259; 38 % White British, 49 % Pakistani), mean age 12·7 (SD 1·0) months and toddlers (n 1257; 37 % White British, 49 % Pakistani), mean age 18·7 (SD1·0) months. Results: At 12 months, Pakistani infants consumed more commercial sweet baby meals than White British infants, with greater odds for being above average consumers (adjusted OR (AOR) = 1·90; 95 % CI 1·40, 2·56), more chips/roast potatoes (AOR = 2·75; 95 % CI 2·09, 3·62), less processed meat products (AOR = 0·11; 95 % CI 0·08, 0·15), more fruit (AOR = 2·20; 95 % CI 1·70, 2·85) and more sugar-sweetened drinks (AOR = 1·68; 95 % CI 1·29, 2·18). At 18 months these differences persisted, with Pakistani infants consuming more commercial sweet baby meals (AOR = 4·57; 95 % CI 2·49, 8·39), more chips/roast potato shapes (AOR = 2·26; 95 % CI 1·50, 3·43), more fruit (AOR = 1·40; 95 % CI 1·08, 1·81), more sugar-sweetened drinks (AOR = 2·03; 95 % CI 1·53, 2·70), more pure fruit juice (AOR = 1·82; 95 % CI 1·40, 2·35), more water (AOR = 3·24; 95 % CI 2·46, 4·25) and less processed meat (AOR = 0·10; 95 % CI 0·06, 0·15) than White British infants. Conclusions: Dietary intake during infancy and the early toddlerhood period is associated with ethnicity, suggesting the importance of early and culturally adapted interventions aimed at establishing healthy eating behaviours. Keywords Diet Infant Ethnicity ObesityChildhood obesity is a growing problem internationally (1,2) . Within the UK, over a fifth of children starting school are overweight or obese and it is estimated that by 2020, 20 % of all boys and 33 % of all girls will be obese (3) . Although recent indications are that prevalence is levelling off in 4-to 5-year-olds in the UK, it still remains high and of concern across other ages and certain ethnic groups (4) . The prevalence of obesity is significantly higher in children of South Asian origin in the UK compared with White British children (4,5) and people of South Asian origin are also at greater risk of obesity-related conditions such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension (6) .Early childhood provides a unique opportunity to promote health and prevent obesity (7) . It has been suggested that dietary patterns emerge early (8) and track through infancy (9) into later childhood (10) and from childhood to adulthood (11) . The diet of infants and toddlers has shortand long-term implications for health and development (12) . It is therefore important to be able to characterize early-life dietary intake, including understanding the influence of ethnicity on early diet, in order to examine how early diet influences later health outcomes including weight in childhoo...

“…The estimated diary has been used in a number of studies in the UK, such as the MRC National Survey of Health and Development (1946 British Birth Cohort) (9) , the EPIC Norfolk study (10) and the UK Women's Cohort Study in Leeds (over 35 000 women) (11) . The method is also used in children, most notably in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children cohort at ages 4, 8 and 18 months, 3, 7, 10 and 14 years (12) . The repeat 24 h recall method is used in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey in the United States and in the Low Income Diet and Nutrition Survey, conducted in 2004-05 (13) .…”

Innovations in national nutrition surveys

et al. 2013

The aim of this paper is to describe innovations taking place in national nutrition surveys in the UK and the challenges of undertaking innovations in such settings. National nutrition surveys must be representative of the overall population in characteristics such as socio-economic circumstances, age, sex and region. High response rates are critical. Dietary assessment innovations must therefore be suitable for all types of individuals, from the very young to the very old, for variable literacy and/or technical skills, different ethnic backgrounds and life circumstances, such as multiple carers and frequent travel. At the same time, national surveys need details on foods consumed. Current advances in dietary assessment use either technological innovations or simplified methods; neither lend themselves to national surveys. The National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS) rolling programme, and the Diet and Nutrition Survey of Infants and Young Children (DNSIYC), currently use the 4-d estimated diary, a compromise for detail and respondent burden. Collection of food packaging enables identification of specific products. Providing space for location of eating, others eating, the television being on and eating at a table, adds to eating context information. Disaggregation of mixed dishes enables determination of true intakes of meat and fruit and vegetables. Measurement of nutritional status requires blood sampling and processing in DNSIYC clinics throughout the country and mobile units were used to optimise response. Hence, innovations in national surveys can and are being made but must take into account the paramount concerns of detail and response rate.

“…Food items in questionnaires were selected by a qualified research dietitian (PE) to reflect those commonly fed to infants and toddlers at the time. The 6-mo questionnaire covered the period from birth to 6 mo, whereas the 15-mo questionnaire covered the period from 6 to 15 mo, and the 24-mo questionnaire covered the period from 15 to 24 mo (20,21). Caregivers were asked to document the frequency of intake of foods nowadays.…”
