“…We observed two main stable patternsa healthconscious one, labelled as 'prudent', and a 'junk food' (7-11 and 11-15). Dashed lines connect other time periods (7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15) patternwhich was consistently present across all three time points. While the 'junk food' pattern was consistently associated with higher consumption of biscuits, pies and cakes, sausages, cola and other soft drinks, and salty snacks, the 'prudent' pattern was associated with the consumption of breakfast cereals, yoghurts, fish, cheese, vegetables and fresh fruit and milk.…”

“…Selfreported questionnaires filled out by participants included records of demographics, lifestyle, dietary habits, partnership, life attitudes, life events, social factors and environmental exposure. In addition to its primary aims, the Czech ELSPAC-CZ study also examined socio-economic changes related to the societal transformation after the fall of Communism in 1989 (10,14) .…”

“…While the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children study focused on the consumption of fruit, vegetables, soft drinks and sweets by Czech children and adolescents from 2002 to 2014 (9) , it did not focus specifically on dietary patterns. Recently, the dietary patterns of pregnant women enrolled in the European Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood (ELSPAC-CZ) study were analysed by Bienertová-Vašků et al (10) . However, longitudinal studies describing the dietary patterns of children are currently missing.…”

Objective: Dietary pattern analysis constitutes a suitable method for identifying complex food preferences as well as a useful tool for comparing dietary behaviour across individual populations. In addition to a lack of information on Central European dietary patterns, dietary data featuring a longitudinal aspect are likewise largely unavailable for the region. Our study thus strives to address this gap by analysing children’s dietary patterns, their stability and possible changes at 7, 11 and 15 years in the Czech part of the European Longitudinal Study of Pregnancy and Childhood (ELSPAC–CZ). Design: We analysed dietary data based on the self-reported semi-quantitative FFQ obtained in 1998, 2002 and 2006. Dietary patterns were derived using factor analysis for each period, followed by the determination of dietary pattern stability across the individual periods. Setting: The analysis of dietary patterns was based on longitudinal children’s dietary data from the geographical region that was undergoing massive socio-economic changes at the time of birth of the study subjects. Participants: All participants were children. At 7 years the analysis included 3220 children, at 11 years the analysis included 2509 children and at 15 years the analysis included 1589 children. Results: Two stable children’s dietary patterns labelled as ‘prudent’ and ‘junk food’ were identified across all three time points (7, 11 and 15 years). Conclusions: This study identifies stable longitudinal trends in the dietary behaviour of children enrolled in the ELSPAC-CZ study.
