“…Analysing the relation between SST and dairy consumption, few studies have taken into consideration dairy food types. In European pre-school children, exceeding total screen time recommendations, established at 1 hour per day, was positively associated with increased consumption of sweetened milk (29). In another study, the use of internet during weekends was negatively associated with milk consumption in European adolescents of both genders.…”

Background: Physical activity (PA) and sedentary behaviours (SB) are related with obesity and cardio-metabolic risk, however the literature is controversial regarding the effect of dairy consumption on the development of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) risk factors.Aim: To assess longitudinally the relationship between specific lifestyle behaviours (PA and SB) and dairy consumption in a sample of European children and adolescents. Methods:Children from the IDEFICS study were included in the analyses. Two measurements, with 2 years' interval, were conducted. 1 688 (50.8% boys) children provided information regarding diet, measured by a 24-hour dietary recall, PA measured by accelerometers, and parental reported sedentary screen time (SST) at both time points. Different combinations of these behaviours, at each survey and over time, were derived applying specific recommendations. Multilevel ordinal logistic regression and analysis of covariance were used to assess their association with dairy consumption, adjusted for potential confounders.Results: Differences by gender were found regarding dairy products consumption and also adherence to SB and PA recommendations at T0 and T1. Children meeting both lifestyle recommendations, at both measurements' points, had higher probability to consume more milk and yogurt and less cheese, in comparison with the rest of combinations.Conclusions: These results suggest that European children with a healthy lifestyle, specifically regarding PA and SB over time, consumed more milk and yogurt. This study suggests that the protective effect of specific dairy products found in literature could be partially due to the association of their consumption with specific healthy lifestyles.

“…Similar associations were observed in European adolescents [42]: Those adolescents with the lowest PA levels consumed fewer fruits and dairy products compared to active adolescents. In a previous publication of the ToyBox study, those exceeding baseline ST recommendations had a higher consumption of energy-dense foods (sugar-based desserts, salty snacks, pastries, cakes, and biscuits) and beverages (fizzy drinks, sweet milk, and juices) than those complying with ST recommendations [12]. Another study reported that high TV viewing was related to less healthy food options (consumption of sweets and soft drinks) in children from different countries [43].…”

“…ST has been shown to be associated with increased energy-dense food and beverage consumption and decreased fruit and vegetable (F & V) consumption in preschool children [12]. In European children participating in the IDEFICS study, low time spent on moderate to vigorous physical activity (MVPA) was associated with a low consumption of vegetables and yogurt and high fast food consumption [13].…”

Lifestyle behavioral habits such as excess screen time (ST), a lack of physical activity (PA), and high energy-dense food consumption are associated with an increased risk of children being overweight or obese. This study aimed to (1) track longitudinal adherence to PA and ST recommendations at baseline (T0) and follow-up (T1) and (2) assess the association between changes in adherence to PA and ST recommendations and food and beverage consumption at follow-up. The present study included 2321 preschool children (3.5 to 6) participating in the multicenter ToyBox-study. A lineal mixed effects model was used to examine the association between different types of food and beverages and their relationship with changes in adherence to PA and ST recommendations. Approximately half of the children (50.4%) did not meet the PA and ST recommendations at both baseline and follow-up. However, only 0.6% of the sample met both PA and ST recommendations. Preschool children who met both recommendations consumed fewer fizzy drinks, juices, sweets, desserts, and salty snacks and consumed more water, fruits and vegetables, and dairy products than did those not meeting both recommendations. In conclusion, the proportion of European preschool children adhering to both PA and ST recommendations was very low and was associated with a low consumption of energy-dense foods.

Gamification for the Improvement of Diet, Nutritional Habits, and Body Composition in Children and Adolescents: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

et al. 2021

Currently, one of the main public health problems among children and adolescents is poor adherence to healthy habits, leading to increasingly high rates of obesity and the comorbidities that accompany obesity. Early interventions are necessary, and among them, the use of gamification can be an effective method. The objective was to analyse the effect of game-based interventions (gamification) for improving nutritional habits, knowledge, and changes in body composition. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed in CINAHL, EMBASE, LILACS, MEDLINE, SciELO, and Scopus databases, following the PRISMA recommendations. There was no restriction by year of publication or language. Only randomized controlled trials were included. Twenty-three articles were found. After the intervention, the consumption of fruit and vegetables increased, as well as the knowledge on healthy food groups. The means difference showed a higher nutritional knowledge score in the intervention group 95% CI 0.88 (0.05–1.75). No significant effect of gamification was found for body mass index z-score. Gamification could be an effective method to improve nutritional knowledge about healthier nutritional habits. Promoting the development of effective educational tools to support learning related to nutrition is necessary in order to avoid and prevent chronic diseases.

Associations between food and beverage consumption and different types of sedentary behaviours in European preschoolers: the ToyBox-study

Abstract: In European preschoolers, sedentary behaviours were associated with consumption of energy-dense foods and fizzy drinks. The present findings will contribute to improve the strategies to prevent overweight, obesity and nutrition-related chronic diseases from early childhood.
