“…In a study by Krebs-Smith (Krebs-Smith et al, 1996) and associates, the fruit and vegetable intake of over 3,000 children aged 2 to 18 years was examined. The researchers found that one quarter of all vegetables consumed by children were frenchfries and that only one in five children consumed the recommended five or more servings of fruits and vegetables per day.…”

“…In many countries campaigns have been organised to encourage children and adolescents to consume fruit and vegetables. Several studies in industrialised countries have reported, however, inadequate consumption of fruit and vegetables among children and adolescents (Krebs-Smith et al, 1996;Neumark-Sztainer et al, 1996;Samuelson et al, 1996;Dixon et al, 1997;Carter and Whiting, 1998;Inchley et al, 2001;Lee et al, 2001;Roos et al, 2001;Haapalahti et al, 2003). In the Cardiovascular Risk in Young Finns Study the diet of the same subjects has been followed from childhood into adulthood, for more than 20 years (Mikkilä et al, 2004).…”

Objective: To assess prospectively the consumption of fruit and vegetables and its' correlation to the parental consumption in boys and girls taking part in an atherosclerosis prevention study (Special Turku Coronary Risk Factor Intervention Project for Children (STRIP) study). Hypothesis: Nutrition counselling focused on cardiovascular health effects vegetable and fruit consumption. Design: A prospective, randomised, clinical trial. Subjects: Children were recruited to the STRIP study between 1989 and 1992. At the age of 7 months, children were randomised to the intervention (n ¼ 540) or the control group (n ¼ 522) and were followed up until the age of 11 years. Intervention: Families in the intervention group have, since randomisation, received biannual individualised dietary counselling aimed at reduction of cardiovascular risk factors, especially saturated fat intake. Food records were used to assess fruit and vegetable consumption of children and parents. Results: The percentage of total energy intake provided by fruit and vegetables decreased when the children grew older (P for age o0.001). The 1-to 10-year-old intervention boys consumed more vegetables (mean difference 3.18 g/day; CI 1.48-4.86; Po0.001) and fruit (mean difference 10.1 g/day; CI 5.28-14.94; Po0.001) than did the control. Mother's consumption correlated with the consumption of their daughters and sons, whereas father's consumption correlated only with the consumption of their sons. Conclusions: Finnish children taking part in the atherosclerosis prevention study had a remarkably low fruit and vegetable consumption, which furthermore decreased with age. The children's consumption correlated with the parental consumption, except between boys and mothers. A slight intervention effect was present only among boys.

“…Nutrition is one of the factors not yet studied extensively with regard to the gradient. Previous research had put in perspective the fact that different social position indicators are positively related with different aspects of the quality of the diet (Bolton- Smith et al, 1991;Hulshof et al, 1991;Smith & Baghurst, 1992;Shea et al, 1993;Krebs-Smith et al, 1996;Bowman et al, 1998;Lino et al, 1998;Roos et al, 1998;Shi, 1998;Woo et al, 1999). These studies generally did not measure the existence of a social gradient in all the nutrient content of the diet for various social position measurements.…”

Obejctive: To study the existence of a graded relationship between the nutrient content of the diet and some measures of social position. Design and setting: The graded relationship hypothesis was veri®ed by secondary analysis performed on two different nutrition surveys: the Quebec Nutrition Survey (QNS) and the NHANES III, both based on a single 24 h recall. The data of these surveys were collected on a representative sample of two different populations, the ®rst (n 2103) in the province of Quebec (Canada) in 1990 (QNS) and the second in the US population (n 14 877) between 1988 and 1994 (NHANES III). Main outcomes measures:The social gradient hypothesis was tested with four different social position indicators. The analyses were performed separately for men and women aged from 18 to 74 y, for all the nutrients available in the databanks. For the USA, the graded relationship for the total population, for the non-Hispanic white population and for respondents sometimes or often experiencing a lack of food was also measured. Results: A graded relationship between almost all nutrients and the studied social position measurements is observed for the consumption of total calorie-adjusted nutrients, for the proportion of people eating in accordance with dietary guidelines and for the proportion of individual not meeting 75% of the respective Recommended Dietary Allowances for their country. The direction of these relationships (positive or negative) is mainly in accordance with the clinical known impacts of nutrients on chronic diseases. Conclusions: It is possible that nutrition plays a role in the graded distribution of social health inequalities in North America even in the magnitude of this contribution remains to be evaluated.
