“…The EAR is the nutrient intake value estimated to meet the requirement of 50% of individuals in life-stage and gender groups (Barr et al, 2002). The EAR is the most appropriate comparison standard for assessing nutrient intakes of groups.…”

Background/Objectives: The purpose of diet-quality indices is to assess and guide individual dietary intake for the promotion of health and prevention of disease, and food based dietary-quality indices need to be applied by using each country's own unique diet. We assessed the relationships between relatively simple dietary quality scores modified for a Korean diet, such as the Recommended Food Score (RFS) and alternate Mediterranean Diet Score (aMDS), and oxidative stress biomarkers in Korean adults. Subjects/Methods: A total of 976 adults were recruited for the Biomarker Monitoring for Environmental Health Study between April and December 2005 in Seoul and Incheon, Korea. RFS and aMDS were calculated by using a food-frequency questionnaire. We used regression analyses to assess the associations between diet quality scores and urinary malondialdehyde (MDA) and 8-hydroxy-2 0 -deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). Results: RFS and aMDS were negatively associated with urinary MDA concentrations (P ¼ 0.032 for RFS, P ¼ 0.043 for aMDS), but not with 8-OHdG after adjusted for potential covariates. After stratified analyses by sex, negative associations between the both scores and urinary MDA concentrations were not significant in both men and women. There were no significant associations of RFS and aMDS with urinary 8-OHdG concentrations. Conclusions: Higher RFS and aMDS scores were related to lower oxidative stress. Therefore, good quality of diet may be useful in reducing oxidative stress.

“…Within the broad context of interpretation of Dietary References Intakes (DRIs), the RDA -the daily intake that is considered sufficient to meet the needs of almost all (97.5%) of the healthy persons in a population -is not used to assess intakes of groups. For the latter, the use of the EAR -the daily intake that is considered sufficient to meet the needs of 50% of the healthy persons in a population -is recommended (Food andNutrition Board, 1994, 2000;Barr et al, 2002). However, such data are not available for Belgium.…”

Iron intake and dietary sources of iron in Flemish adolescents

et al. 2005

Objective: To investigate the dietary iron intake and food sources of iron in Flemish adolescents. Design: Cross-sectional survey; dietary assessment method: a 7-day estimated food record. Setting: Private and public secondary schools in Ghent, a city in the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium. Subjects: A total of 341 adolescents (129 boys and 212 girls), 13-18 y, randomly selected by a multistage clustered sampling technique. Results: The mean total iron intake (s.d.) for boys was 13.4 (72.91) mg/day and for girls 10.1 (72.79) mg/day. A proportion of 38.8% of the boys and 99.5% of the girls had a mean total iron intake below the Belgian Recommended Dietary Allowance and 3.1% of the boys and 71.2% of the girls below the British Estimated Average Requirement. When bioavailable iron intake is considered, 84.5% of the boys and only 16.5% of the girls met the age-specific requirement. The food groups with the highest mean proportional contribution to total iron intake in both males and females were bread, meat and meat products, cereals and potatoes. A comparison of adolescents from the highest tertile of iron intake (mg/day) with adolescents from the lowest tertile showed a significantly higher energy-adjusted intake of brown bread and a significantly lower intake of soft drinks in the former group in both boys and girls. A significantly higher energy-adjusted intake of breakfast cereals in adolescents of the highest tertile than those of the lowest tertile was seen in girls only. Analyses in consumers only did not change this overall picture. Conclusions: One can conclude that the mean iron intake of Flemish girls is considerably lower than the current recommendations. An increased iron intake in this subgroup of the population is therefore advisable.

“…Analysis of the FFQ was based on values from the Canadian Nutrient File version 2010 and the US Department of Agriculture National Nutrient Database for Standard Reference. 25,26 The categorization of nutritional intake was conducted according to the latest dietary reference intakes for calcium and vitamin D. 18 Because a nutrient intake <67% of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) should be improved, 27 intakes for calcium and vitamin D were compared with their respective RDA for age and considered inadequate if they failed to meet 67% of this value. Among participants taking calcium and vitamin D supplementation, compliance was evaluated by establishing the frequency of supplementation over a 1-week period.…”

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Recent data suggest that cow's milk allergy (CMA) has become more persistent, prolonging treatment via strict elimination of cow's milk products into a period of skeletal growth. The objectives of this study were to compare bone mineral density (BMD), vitamin D status, and dietary intakes of calcium and vitamin D between prepubertal children with persistent CMA and those with non-cow's milk food allergies (NCMA) as control subjects and to assess the use of and compliance to calcium and vitamin D supplementation among children with persistent CMA.
