“…Therefore, in the DONALD Study the dietary fibre intakes were somewhat higher than those proposed by Agostoni et al (1995). The reported mean dietary fibre intake of infants and toddlers from the US Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study was 6 g/day in infants 7-11 months old and 8 g/day in toddlers 12-24 months old (Devaney et al, 2004), which was near the results of the DONALD Study.…”

Objective: To evaluate dietary fibre intake from infancy to adolescence against various reference standards expressed on a body weight, age or energy intake (EI) basis and to describe age and 15-year time trends. Design and subjects: The ongoing longitudinal (open cohort) Dortmund Nutritional and Anthropometric Longitudinally Designed Study with a total of 7810 3-day dietary records from 980 infants, children and adolescents aged 6 months to 18 years collected between 1990 and 2004. Results: Absolute dietary fibre intakes (g/day) increased with age from infancy to adolescence; dietary fibre density (g/1000 kcal) reached a maximum at 1 year and remained constant after the transition to the family diet. Expressed as g/kg body weight, dietary fibre intake increased during infancy with a maximum at 1 year, but decreased thereafter during childhood and adolescence. Dietary fibre intake was low irrespective of the reference used and showed no time trends, with the exception of a small negative trend in 4-8-year olds and 9-13-year-old girls. Conclusion: As intake of dietary fibre in our sample was significantly associated with EI and fibre density remained constant after infancy, our data support an energy-based approach for establishing a reference value for children and adolescents.

“…The adequate intake of micronutrients has been given importance in recent years in developing countries since a high consumption of energy does not guarantee an appropriate intake of micronutrients (40)(41)(42) . There are very few studies in Chile that have looked at micronutrient intake in children.…”

Objective: To assess the nutritional status, food intake and physical activity patterns in schoolchildren attending 5th and 6th grade in basic schools from different socio-economic levels in the metropolitan region of Santiago. Design: Cross-sectional study in children 5th and 6th grade of eighteen basic schools in the metropolitan region of Santiago. Setting: Boys and girls aged 9-12 years from basic schools were evaluated in terms of physical capacity. An anthropometric evaluation was also performed which included weight, height and triceps and subscapular skinfold thicknesses. Food intake was evaluated by a 24 h recall, socio-economic level by the ESOMAR method and physical activity by a questionnaire. Subjects: Boys and girls aged 9-12 years (n 1732). Results: The average prevalence of overweight and obesity was 40 %, with the highest prevalence in males and those from lower socio-economic level. A majority (64 %) of the children had a low level of physical activity. A higher intake of fat and protein and a higher intake of carbohydrate were found in the higher and lower socio-economic levels, respectively. Both males and females showed adequacy greater than 75 % in macronutrient intake except for fibre, with both groups showing a deficit in the consumption of fruits, vegetables, legumes, fish and milk products according to Chilean recommendations. Conclusions: A high prevalence of malnutrition by excess was observed in both sexes and a better eating and physical activity pattern was seen in children from higher socio-economic level.

“…Although some of these reports may reflect overreporting of food intake, these data might also explain the rise in the prevalence of overweight at very young ages. 129,130 For those participating in public nutrition assistance programs (US Department of Agriculture 2002), the foods supplied for infants and children are limited in variety, reflecting more closely the nutritional concerns of the 1970s, when the program was designed (inadequate calories, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, and iron), than nutritional concerns today (excess calories, fat, and sugar and inadequate fruits, vegetables, and whole grains). 131 Moreover, beverages provided to most children are not optimal.…”

Since the American Heart Association last presented nutrition guidelines for children, significant changes have occurred in the prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors and nutrition behaviors in children. Overweight has increased, whereas saturated fat and cholesterol intake have decreased, at least as percentage of total caloric intake. Better understanding of children's cardiovascular risk status and current diet is available from national survey data. New research on the efficacy of diet intervention in children has been published. Also, increasing attention has been paid to the importance of nutrition early in life, including the fetal milieu. This scientific statement summarizes current available information on cardiovascular nutrition in children and makes recommendations for both primordial and primary prevention of cardiovascular disease beginning at a young age.
