“…Furthermore, in line with our results micronutrient adequacy tended to be higher in RTEC consumers compared to non-consumers in several of these studies, especially for calcium. [21–26] Of note, the lowest level of inadequate intake in the current study was for calcium, with about two thirds of all children failing to meet 80% of the RNI, and this was more prevalent in the older children. The nationwide SEANUTS study also recently highlighted calcium as a nutrient of concern in Malaysian children.…”

Background: The association between different types of breakfast meals and nutrient intakes has been studied to a lesser extent. Objective: This study compared nutrient intakes at breakfast and throughout the day between Malaysian children who consumed ready-to-eat cereals (RTEC) and those who did not. Methods: Anthropometric and dietary data for 1955 children aged 6–12 years from the MyBreakfast study were used in the analysis. Results: Overall, 18% of the children consumed RTEC at breakfast on at least one of the recall days. RTEC consumption was associated with younger age, urban areas, higher income and education level of parents. Among consumers, RTEC contributed 10% and 15% to daily intakes of calcium and iron respectively and ≥20% to daily intakes of vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin and niacin. RTEC consumers had significantly higher mean intakes of vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, calcium, iron and sugar but lower intakes of fat and sodium than non-RTEC consumers at breakfast and for the total day. Conclusion: Consumption of fortified RTEC at breakfast was associated with lower fat and sodium intakes and higher intakes of several micronutrients both at breakfast and for the total day. However, total sugar intakes appeared to be higher.

“…Furthermore, fortification practices might have contributed to the discrepancy. In Canada, the addition of 0.31 mg vitamin B 6 per 100 g flour and 0.6 mg per 100 g of breakfast cereal is an optional and yet widespread fortification practice (Barr, DiFrancesco, & Fulgoni, ; Canada Food Inspection Agency, ). In our study cohort, breakfast cereals were the highest ranked fortified food contributing to total vitamin B 6 intake in early pregnancy (Masih et al, ).…”

Vitamin B 6 is important in fetal development, but little is known of the vitamin B 6 status of pregnant women and newborns in North America and potential modifying factors. This prospective study determined maternal and cord plasma concentrations of pyridoxal 5′ phosphate (PLP; an indicator of vitamin B 6 status) in a convenience sample of 368 Canadian pregnant women and their newborns. The association of maternal intake of vitamin B 6 and fetal genetic variants with cord plasma PLP and homocysteine concentrations was also examined. Dietary and supplemental intakes of vitamin B 6 were assessed in early and mid to late pregnancy. PLP concentrations were measured in maternal plasma in early pregnancy and at delivery, and in cord plasma. Six fetal variants of the MTHFR and CβS genes were assessed for their association with cord plasma PLP and homocysteine concentrations. Geometric mean (95% CI) PLP concentrations were 107 (98, 116) nmol/L in early pregnancy and 58 (53, 62) nmol/L at delivery, respectively, and 296 (275, 319) nmol/L in cord blood (p < .0001). During early pregnancy and at delivery, 3.6% and 5.5% of women had plasma PLP concentrations <20 nmol/L, respectively. Ninety eight percent of the women with supplemental B 6 intake of at least the recommended dietary allowance had PLP concentrations >20 nmol/L. Fetal genetic variants were not associated with cord PLP and homocysteine concentrations. Vitamin B 6 deficiency is uncommon in a cohort of Canadian pregnant women due largely to prevalent vitamin B 6 supplement use.

“…Studies from other countries have also shown that omitting breakfast or having irregular breakfast habits is associated with a less favourable dietary intake, such as lower total daily intakes of various nutrients (26,27) and a low frequency of fruit and vegetable intake (28,29) . Fish and vegetable intakes were particularly low on days when dinner was not consumed.…”

Objective: To study how different meals contribute to intakes of fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains in a group of Norwegian adults and in subgroups of this population. Moreover, to investigate the consequences of skipping the meal contributing most to the intake of each food group (main contributing meal). Design: Cross-sectional dietary survey in Norwegian adults. Dietary data were collected using two non-consecutive telephone-administered 24 h recalls. The recorded meal types were breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper/evening meal and snacks. Setting: Nationwide, Norway (2010)(2011). Subjects: Adults aged 18-70 years (n 1787). Results: Dinner was the main contributing meal for fish and vegetables, while snacks were the main contributing meal for fruit intake. For whole grains, breakfast was the main contributing meal. The main contributing meal did not change for any of the food groups when studying subgroups of the participants according to intake of each food group, educational level or age. A substantially lower intake of the food groups in question was found on days when the main contributing meal was skipped. Conclusions: Intakes of fruits, vegetables, fish and whole grains largely depend on one meal type. Inclusion of these foods in other meals in addition to the main contributing meal, preferably replacing energy-dense nutrient-poor foods, should be promoted.
