“…However, it is widely known that individuals do not consume isolated foods/nutrients but meals that consist of a combination of foods and nutrients. Therefore, although several epidemiological studies have revealed increased consumption of energy, inadequate intake of certain nutrients (that is, fiber), excessive intake of other nutrients (that is, total fat, saturated fat, sugar) and low consumption of fruits and vegetables among children, it does not reflect the overall diet quality (Hampl et al, 1999;Ballew et al, 2000;Kranz et al, 2004Kranz et al, , 2005aManios et al, 2008). As a result, dietary pattern analysis has recently emerged as an alternative approach to evaluate diet quality.…”

“…Children's 'poor' diet observed in developed countries during last decades have resulted in an increasing prevalence of risk factors for chronic diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure and increased cholesterol levels in children (Hampl et al, 1999;Devaney et al, 2004;Kranz et al, 2004;Muntner et al, 2004;Angelopoulos et al, 2006;Magkos et al, 2006;Manios et al, 2008). Both the aforementioned clinical risk factors and several behavioral factors, such as unhealthy dietary habits or lifestyle patterns, originating in early life seem to track into adulthood increasing the risk for developing chronic diseases in adult life (Boulton et al, 1995;Hesketh et al, 2004).…”

Assessing children's diet quality in Crete based on Healthy Eating Index: The Children Study

et al. 2009

Background: This study aimed to assess children's diet quality in Crete and the potential role of several socio-demographic factors related to it. Methods: Between October 2005 and March 2006, 481 primary school children were recruited from Crete. Dietary intake data was obtained using a combination of techniques comprising a 24 h recall and 3 food diaries. The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) was calculated summing the individual scores (0-10) assigned to 10 index components. Results: The majority of participants (84.5%) had diet that 'needs improvement' (HEI score: 51-80). Twelve percent of participants had 'poor diet' and only 3.5% of schoolchildren had 'good diet' (HEI score 480). The overall mean of the HEI score was 60.5. The mean values of the HEI components score ranged between 2.8 (that is, the HEI component that measures vegetables intake) and 9.9 (that is, component that expresses the variety of consumed foods). Low mean values were found in the total fat and saturated fat components (3.7 and 3.4, respectively). Moreover, the HEI score was strongly associated with dietary macronutrients and micronutrients intake. Conclusion: On the basis of the HEI score, the vast majority of children were found to have a diet that 'needs improvement'. This indicates the increased necessity of drawing and implementing nutrition education programs targeting both children and their families and aiming to increase vegetables and fruits intake and reduce fat intake.

Gross for kids but good for parents: differing messages in advertisements for the same products

Objectives: There has been surprisingly little research into the effects of food advertising on parents' perception of commonly consumed children's food items, although the available research suggests that parents may find nutritional claims in these advertisements confusing. The purpose of the present study was to investigate parents' perceptions of branded snack foods targeted at children, and the extent to which these perceptions are influenced by advertising messages. Design: Using an intercept survey, participants were shown either adult-targeted or child-targeted advertisements for the same food products. Setting: Central business district of a major Australian city. Subjects: One hundred adults, mean age 40 years. Results: The study results suggest that: (1) adults' perceptions of advertised food products and, most importantly, purchase intentions for those products differ according to the version of the advertisement seen (for three of the products, 42-54% would buy the product after seeing the child version compared with 82-84% after seeing the adult version); and (2) adults clearly perceive distinctly different messages in advertisements for the same products which are targeting parents vs. those targeting children (e.g. for three of the products, 74-92% perceived that the adult version of the advertisement suggested the food was nutritionally beneficial compared with 2-14% perceiving this for the child version). Conclusions: It is clear that the messages conveyed to children about specific foods are quite different to the messages conveyed to adults -and importantly parents -about the same foods.

“…96 Hampl et al, 97 conducted a survey on diet of school children and concluded that children consuming higher fruits and vegetables had higher level of VC and were more healthy. In 2004 Hung et al 98 stated that higher consumption of fruits and vegetables was associated with a comparable decrease in major chronic disease risk and further supported the recommendation of consuming five or more servings of fruits and vegetables daily.…”
