Objective: Sufficient dairy food consumption during adolescence is necessary for preventing disease. While socio-economically disadvantaged adolescents tend to consume few dairy foods, some eat quantities more in line with dietary recommendations despite socio-economic challenges. Socio-economic variations in factors supportive of adolescents' frequent dairy consumption remain unexplored. The present study aimed to identify cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between intrapersonal, social and environmental factors and adolescents' frequent dairy consumption at baseline and two years later across socio-economic strata, and to examine whether socio-economic position moderated observed effects. Design: Online surveys completed at baseline (2004)(2005) and follow-up (2006-2007) included a thirty-eight-item FFQ and questions based on social ecological models examining intrapersonal, social and environmental dietary influences. Setting: Thirty-seven secondary schools in Victoria, Australia. Subjects: Australian adolescents (n 1201) aged 12-15 years, drawn from a sub-sample of 3264 adolescents (response rate = 33 %). Results: While frequent breakfast consumption was cross-sectionally associated with frequent dairy consumption among all adolescents, additional associated factors differed by socio-economic position. Baseline dairy consumption longitudinally predicted consumption at follow-up. No further factors predicted frequent consumption among disadvantaged adolescents, while four additional factors were predictive among advantaged adolescents. Socio-economic position moderated two predictors; infrequently eating dinner alone and never purchasing from school vending machines predicted frequent consumption among advantaged adolescents. Conclusions: Nutrition promotion initiatives aimed at improving adolescents' dairy consumption should employ multifactorial approaches informed by social ecological models and address socio-economic differences in influences on eating behaviours; e.g. selected intrapersonal factors among all adolescents and social factors (e.g. mealtime rules) among advantaged adolescents.

At baseline, invitations to participate were open to all co-educational government and Catholic secondary schools that included Years 7-12 and had .200 enrolments located in metropolitan Melbourne and nonmetropolitan Gippsland, east of Melbourne, Australia.…”

“…Increased intakes of high-energy foods and beverages also tend to displace consumption of more nutritious foods including fruit, vegetables and milk (8,9) , further impacting on health. Adolescents tend to consume diets that are at odds with recommendations for health, with a high proportion consuming high-energy foods and beverages daily (10,11) .Further, adolescents' intake of high-energy foods tends to increase as they mature, resulting in even poorer dietary quality (12)(13)(14) . Socio-economically disadvantaged adolescents are at greater risk for consuming a poorer diet than more advantaged adolescents, consuming high-energy foods and beverages more frequently (12,15) .…”

Objective: While socio-economically disadvantaged adolescents tend to have poor dietary intakes, some manage to eat healthily. Understanding how some disadvantaged adolescents restrict high-energy foods and beverages may inform initiatives promoting healthier diets among this population. The present investigation aimed to: (i) identify disadvantaged adolescents' high-energy food and beverage intakes; and (ii) explore cross-sectional and longitudinal associations between intrapersonal, social and environmental factors and disadvantaged adolescents' high-energy food intakes. Design: Longitudinal online surveys were completed at baseline (2004)(2005) and follow-up (2006-2007), each comprising a thirty-eight-item FFQ and questions examining intrapersonal, social and environmental factors. Setting: Thirty-seven secondary schools in metropolitan and non-metropolitan Victoria, Australia. Subjects: Of 1938 adolescents aged 12-15 years participating at both time points, 529 disadvantaged adolescents (whose mothers had low education levels) were included in the present investigation. Results: At baseline and follow-up, respectively 32 % and 39 % of adolescents consumed high-energy foods less frequently (#2 high-energy food meals/week); 61 % and 65 % consumed high-energy beverages less frequently (#1 time/d). More girls than boys had less frequent high-energy food intakes, and baseline consumption frequency predicted consumption frequency at follow-up. Adolescents with less frequent consumption of high-energy foods and beverages seldom ate fast food for main meals, reported reduced availability of high-energy foods at home and were frequently served vegetables at dinner. Conclusions: Nutrition promotion initiatives could help improve disadvantaged adolescents' eating behaviours by promoting adolescents and their families to replace high-energy meals with nutritious home-prepared meals and decrease home availability of high-energy foods in place of more nutritious foods.Good nutrition is important for preventing several dietrelated diseases (1) . Since dietary habits and preferences developed in childhood and adolescence may be maintained into adulthood (2,3) , altering diet-related behaviours early in life, such as during adolescence (4,5) , is important for disease prevention. Many high-energy foods and beverages are nutrient-poor and often sources of high levels of saturated fat, sugar and salt (6) , which have been linked to overweight and obesity, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance (7) . Increased intakes of high-energy foods and beverages also tend to displace consumption of more nutritious foods including fruit, vegetables and milk (8,9) , further impacting on health. Adolescents tend to consume diets that are at odds with recommendations for health, with a high proportion consuming high-energy foods and beverages daily (10,11) .Further, adolescents' intake of high-energy foods tends to increase as they mature, resulting in even poorer dietary quality (12)(13)(14) .
