Nutrient Intakes by Young Children in a Prospective Randomized Trial of a Low—Saturated Fat, Low-Cholesterol Diet

Intake of vitamin D by Finnish children aged 3 months to 3 years in relation to sociodemographic factors

“…Our results on vitamin D intake from food parallel previous studies Ylönen et al, 1996;Lagström et al, 1997;Virtanen et al, 2000). In the survey of Ylönen et al (1996), 1-to 3-year-old Finnish children received 2.1 mg/day vitamin D from food.…”

Food consumption and nutrient intake in day care and at home in 3-year-old Finnish children

“…Almost 20 % of the Finnish population have HLA-defined predisposition to type 1 diabetes, whereas only 3–4 % of those actually progress to clinical disease. The food consumption and nutrient intake of the participants was comparable with the Finnish children in previous studies ( 16 , 17 ) . The influence of the cohort setting on these results must also be taken into consideration, although that effect most likely reduces the observed differences.…”

Parental eating attitudes and indicators of healthy eating in a longitudinal randomized dietary intervention trial (the STRIP study)

“…Furthermore, there were no differences in socio-economic status between the intervention and control families ( 8 ) . Therefore, the results of our study indicate that the intervention effect on dietary behaviour found in the present and previous studies ( 7 – 11 ) may be achieved by enhancing the positive attitude towards healthy eating among the intervention parents. The control parents have also received general dietary information about their child's diet during the study years and they are aware of the fact that they are participating in a heart disease prevention trial.…”
