Family resemblance in fat intake in the Netherlands

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine the similarity in the fat intake of Dutch nuclear families with children aged 1-30 years old. Food consumption and nutrient intake were measured by a two-day dietary record which was part of a survey during 1987 and 1992. Results show that there is a resemblance in the short term intake of fats and fatty acids within the Dutch families. These similarities may be due to several factors such as cohabitational effect, family members influencing each other on eating behaviors, shared food preferences, and genetic factors.

Food consumption of young stunted and non-stunted children in rural Zambia

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to evaluate the quality of diet in a sample of rural pre-school children in the Samfya District, Zambia, as well as to compare the dietary intake of stunted and non-stunted children, total daily intake of energy, calcium, iron and vitamin A was inadequate compared to recommended daily intakes. Overall, the quality of weaning foods was insufficient. Stunted children showed a tendency of lower energy intakes compared to non-stunted age-mates.

Short-term regulation of food intake in children, young adults and the elderly

Article Abstract:

The effects of consuming preloads with differing macronutrient and energy contents on subsequent intake of children, young adults and the elderly. The ability to compensate at lunch did not differ amongst the three age groups. Children, young adults and the elderly ate much less after a high-fat and high-carbohydrate yoghurt, compared to the no-preload condition.
