“…Energy intake, expressed as kcal/kg body weight, declined with age and intakes of males were consistently higher than those of females. The difference between male and female patterns of energy intake can be explained partly by differences in the growth patterns, the female growth rate slowing before that of the male (10,38). Sex differences in physical activity possibly account for the remainder of the discrepancies (19).…”

The data were obtained, by means of a 24-h diet& recall, from children who were randomly selected from the North American populations studied by the ~i~i dResearch Clinics Program. Females ( N = 584) consumed about 2000 kcal daily, an intake that remained relatively constant throughout the age groups studied. Males ( N = 667) had an energy intake of 2000 kcal/day during childhood that increased to over 3000 kcal/day in adolescence. Energy sources for both sexes were approximately 15% protein, 38% total fat, 15% saturated fat, 6% polyunsaturated fat, 48% total carbohydrate, 19% starch, and 11% sucrose; cholesterol intake averaged about 145 mg/1000 kcal. For both sexes, fat intake increased with age. Compared to females, males ingested greater amounts of cholesterol and total and saturated fat.

Knowledge about nutrient intake in children is an important first step toward understanding the influence of diet on the atherosclerotic process that starts early in life. In this report, we examine the 24-h intake of selected nutrients by children ages 6-19 years, who constituted one-fourth of the individuals sampled in the North American Lipid Research Clinics (LRC) Prevalence Study.The LRC Prevalence Study, conducted from 1972 to 1975, was designed to investigate the prevalence of the hyperlipoproteinemias in selected, free-living populations and to include assessment of certain variables, among them diet, that may influence plasma lipid and lipoprotein levels. The lipid and lipoprotein cholesterol levels of these children have been previously reported (36).The purposes of this report: (1) to describe the intake by these children and adolescents of those nutrients that have been asso- MATERIALS AND METHODS Study populations.Of the seven LRCs that had a pediatric component, six clinics provided sufficient data on 6-19-year-old participants to be included here. Two of the clinic populations were school-based (Baylor and Cincinnati); two were householdbased (La Jolla and Minnesota); one was based on industrial employees (Toronto); and the other was based on enrollees of a prepaid medical plan in Columbia, Maryland (Johns Hopkins). In the latter two clinics, children of the propositus were included for stud...

ADOLESCENCE is a time of rapid physical growth, second only to the prenatal and infancy period in rate. Since calorie and most nutrient needs tend to parallel the growth rate, it is obvious that the adolescent's needs are higher in proportion to body size than those of younger or older people. Needs also decrease as the rate of growth slows.Is our concern about the food intake of adolescent girls justified? We nutrition educators have spent years telling mothers not to be concerned about the decreased appetites of their children during the second year of life. Do we need to remind ourselves that many girls by the age of 13 have already experienced their most rapid growth and are therefore entitled to a decrease in appetite during the early or middle teen years? In 1932, Wait and Roberts (1) in a careful study of the total energy needs of girls aged

“…Vitamin A consumption, a good index of intake of egg yolk and butter fat, doubled between 7 and 15 years, falling rapidly between 15 and 20 and slowly thereafter to a level 25% above that in childhood. The rise in calories in adolescent boys was 40% and in protein 65%, with much less marked decline after maturity than that for vitamin A.…”
