“…Differences over time may also be a result of shifts in consumption. In 2007, Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide (Katamay et al 2007) was released to provide updated guidance on healthy eating and selections from the key food groups and "other foods". However, there was relatively little other largescale policy attention and implementation with the potential to substantively influence Canadians' eating patterns until after the 2015 CCHS, with the release of the Healthy Eating Strategy (Government of Canada 2016).…”

Dietary factors are major contributors to morbidity and mortality, and significant attention is being paid to interventions to support healthy eating, including through the creation of a healthier food supply. The objective of this study was to inform interventions to support healthy eating by examining the top dietary sources of calories, sodium, sugars, and saturated fats among Canadians in relation to sex, age, and income. We drew upon data from the 2015 Canadian Community Health Survey, which collected interviewer-administered 24-h dietary recalls from Canadians who were 1 year of age and older (n = 20 176), residing in the 10 provinces. Foods and beverages were grouped into 91 mutually exclusive categories (e.g., 100% fruit juice, fruit drinks). On the basis of the average proportion contributed, the top 20 sources of each dietary component were identified for all individuals and by sex–age and income groups. The mean amount of each dietary component contributed by each category (per capita and per consumer) and the proportions of persons consuming items in each category were also examined. Top sources included commonly consumed items (e.g., breads and flatbreads as sources of sodium), as well as those high in a given dietary component (e.g., soda as a source of sugars). Several food and beverage categories were top contributors to more than one dietary component examined, suggesting possible priorities for intervention and future analyses. The identification of major sources of calories and nutrients of concern can inform population health efforts, such as reformulation, to improve the health of Canadians.

“…The World Health Organization (WHO) set a 2–3% level as the maximum desirable prevalence of inadequate intake when planning food supplementation [49]. The governmental institution Health Canada determined the level of less than 10% as the threshold to develop Canada’s Food Guide [50]. In the present analysis, a more lenient threshold would be more appropriate because several methodological aspects affected the calculation of the number of individuals whose intake was below the EAR [14,21].…”

Background: The purpose of this study was to analyze the prevalence of nutrient intake inadequacy in Europe, applying the Nordic Nutritional Recommendations in the context of the EURRECA Network of Excellence. Methods: Nutrient data was obtained from the European Nutrition and Health Report II. Those nutritional surveys using a validated food frequency questionnaire or diet history and a food diary/ register with at least 7 days of registers or with an adjustment for intraindividual variability were included. The nutrients analyzed were: vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin B₁₂, folic acid, calcium, iron, zinc, selenium, copper, and iodine. The estimated average requirement cut point was applied to estimate inadequacy. The Nordic and Institute of Medicine nutrient recommendations were used as references. Results: The mean prevalence of inadequacy was below 11% for zinc, iron, and vitamin B₁₂ (only in the elderly), and it was 11–20% for copper in adults and the elderly and for vitamin B₁₂ in adults and vitamin C in the elderly. The prevalence was above 20% for vitamin D, folic acid, calcium, selenium, and iodine in adults and the elderly and for vitamin C in adults. Conclusions: Vitamin C, vitamin D, folic acid, calcium, selenium, and iodine were the nutrients showing a higher prevalence of inadequate intakes in Europe.

“…In Canada, a similar index of HEI-C 2009 (Woodruff and Hanning 2010) was adapted based on the latest dietary recommendation, Eating Well with Canada's Food Guide (Katamay et al 2007). This HEI-C 2009 directly listed the scoring scheme for 9-to 13-year-old youth, which includes 9 components with a continuous score assigned to each component, for a maximum score of 100.…”

Little is known about the influence of different forms of added sugar intake on diet quality or their association with obesity among youth. Dietary intake was assessed by three 24-h recalls in 613 Canadian children (aged 8-10 years). Added sugars (mean of 3-day intakes) were categorized according to source (solid or liquid). Dietary intake and the Canadian Healthy Eating Index (« HEI-C ») were compared across tertiles of solid and liquid added sugars separately as were adiposity indicators (body mass index (BMI), fat mass (dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry), and waist circumference). Cross-sectional associations were examined in linear regression models adjusting for age, sex, energy intake, and physical activity (7-day accelerometer). Added sugar contributed 12% of total energy intake (204 kcal) on average, of which 78% was from solid sources. Higher consumption of added sugars from either solid or liquid source was associated with higher total energy, lower intake of micronutrients, vegetables and fruit, and lower HEI-C score. Additionally liquid sources were associated with lower intake of dairy products. A 10-g higher consumption of added sugars from liquid sources was associated with 0.4 serving/day lower of vegetables and fruit, 0.4-kg/m(2) higher BMI, a 0.5-kg higher fat mass, and a 0.9-cm higher waist circumference whereas the associations of added sugars from solid sources and adiposity indicators tended to be negative. In conclusion, higher consumption of added sugar from either solid or liquid sources was associated with lower overall diet quality. Adiposity indicators were only positively associated with added sugars from liquid sources.
