“…15 Food items and recipes not identified in the database were added by CHOP dieticians at each study centre according to information from the manufacturers, other databases or ingredients. 12,13,16 Energy and macronutrient intakes were calculated by using the German national food composition database (BLS 3.01). Food records with energy intakes 43 s.d.s of the mean by month and those noted by the dataentering dietician to be incomplete or inaccurate or with reported concurrent illness were excluded.…”

“…Italy had the highest proportion of total milk covered by cow's Median meat intake ranged from 4 (0, 19) g at 6 months of age to 95 (65, 138) g/day at 24 months of age; at 24 months of age, 50% of the infants consumed more than 170 g/day of meat in Spain. The median intake from the fruit-vegetable group ranged from 175 (100, 266) to 277 (193, 380) g/day, and the median intake from the starchy group ranged from 33 (16,56) to 137 (98, 175) g/day at 6 and 24 months of age, respectively.…”

During weaning, over-limited substitution of dairy products with other sources (especially meat) resulted in relatively high protein intakes in formula-fed infants. Differences in preferences of specific protein sources from complementary foods existed among European countries. Great opportunities in improving early nutrition were revealed, although cultural and geographical differences should always be considered.

“…Iron and sodium are especially important micronutrients for infants and toddlers, the first because of the frequency of iron-deficiency anemia [12,13] and the second because of its potential role in later cardiovascular disease [13,14]. To our knowledge, no study so far has evaluated the macro- and micro-nutrient intake of children aged <12 months using the 7DWFR even if the macronutrient intake of children participating to a randomized controlled trial (RCT) has been recently evaluated using the 3-day weighed food-record (3DWFR) [15,16]. An increasing north to south gradient of obesity is known to exist within Europe [17] and a similar gradient has been reported among Italian children aged ≥2 years [18,19].…”

Nutrient Intake in Italian Infants and Toddlers from North and South Italy: The Nutrintake 636 Study

We performed a cross-sectional study to compare the intake of energy, macronutrients, fiber, sodium and iron and the anthropometric status of infants and toddlers living in North (Milano) and South Italy (Catania). Nutrient intake was evaluated using a 7-day weighed food record. Out of 400 planned children aged 6 to 36 months, 390 (98%) were recruited, 189 in Milano and 201 in Catania. The mean (standard deviation) age was 17 (9) months in Milano and 17 (10) months in Catania. Anthropometry, energy intake and macronutrient intake were similar in Milano and Catania. However, iron intake was 27% lower and fiber intake 16% higher in Milano than in Catania. Despite normal anthropometry and energy intake, in the pooled sample there was a high intake of proteins, simple carbohydrates, saturated fats and sodium, and a low intake of iron and fiber compared to Italian reference values. This is the first study to report the macro- and micro-nutrient intake of children aged <12 months using the 7-day weighed food record and one of the very few studies that have employed such reference method in children from the general population.

Objectives:The objective of this study was to quantify human milk supply and intake of breastfed infants up to age 12 months. Additionally, human milk composition was quantified per energetic macronutrient and fatty acid composition in a subsample of lactating mothers. Methods:174 Italian breastfed children were followed using test-weighing and 3-day food protocols from birth to age twelve months. From a sub-sample of thirty mothers breast milk samples were collected at child ages one (T1), two (T2), three (T3), and six (T6) months, and were analyzed for the amount of protein, digestible carbohydrates, total lipids and fatty acid composition. Results:142 (82%) filled in at least one three-day food protocol within the first 12 months of life and complied with test-weighing of all milk feeds. The number of valid food protocols declined from 126 infants at one month to 77 at twelve months of age. Only galactose, non-protein nitrogen and protein decreased significantly from age one to age six months of lactation. Maternal BMI and age affected fatty acid levels in human milk. Median human milk intake decreased from 625ml at T1, over 724ml at T3 to 477ml/day at T6.Average energy and %energy from protein intake per day increased from 419 kcal (SD 99) and 8.4% (1.0) at T1, respectively, to 860 kcal (145) and 16.1% (2.6) at T12. Conclusion:These data provide a reference range of nutrient intakes in breastfed infants and may provide guidance for defining optimal nutrient intakes for infants that cannot be fully breastfed.4
