“…Four studies examined intake among older adults, namely MEDIS (MEDiterranean Islands Study) (78) , the Seven Countries Study (4,91,92) , SENECA (Survey in Europe on Nutrition and the Elderly; a Concerted Action) (43,90,148,149) and the 'Food in later life' study (68) . Nine studies assessed intake among children (27,30,37,50,85,86,101,116,120) in age ranges 2-9 years (37,118,119) , 3-6 years (95)(96)(97)(98)(99)(100)(101)(102)(103)(104)(105)(106) , 2-11 years (50) , 7-11 years (116) , 11 years (85) and 10-12 years (27) , and seven assessed intake among adolescents (32,50,109,110,(113)(114)(115) .…”

Evidence suggests that health benefits are associated with consuming recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables (F&V), yet standardised assessment methods to measure F&V intake are lacking. The current review aims to identify methods to assess F&V intake among children and adults in pan-European studies and inform the development of the DEDIPAC (DEterminants of DIet and Physical Activity) toolbox of methods suitable for use in future European studies.\ud A literature search was conducted using three electronic databases and by hand-searching reference lists. English-language studies of any design which assessed F&V intake were included in the review.\ud Studies involving two or more European countries were included in the review.\ud Healthy, free-living children or adults.\ud The review identified fifty-one pan-European studies which assessed F&V intake. The FFQ was the most commonly used (n 42), followed by 24 h recall (n 11) and diet records/diet history (n 7). Differences existed between the identified methods; for example, the number of F&V items on the FFQ and whether potatoes/legumes were classified as vegetables. In total, eight validated instruments were identified which assessed F&V intake among adults, adolescents or children.\ud The current review indicates that an agreed classification of F&V is needed in order to standardise intake data more effectively between European countries. Validated methods used in pan-European populations encompassing a range of European regions were identified. These methods should be considered for use by future studies focused on evaluating intake of F&V

“…However, this was partially covered by ensuring anonymity. In addition, González-Gil et al have studied the reliability of primary caregivers' reports and concluded that 'a primary caregivers questionnaire is a reliable tool to assess socio-demographic characteristics, perinatal factors and lifestyle behaviours of pre-school children and their families participating in the ToyBoxintervention' (p. 61) (49) . The FFQ of Huybrechts et al, on which the FFQ used in the present study was based, was specifically designed for use by parents of pre-school children.…”

Objective: To study the quantity and quality of water intake from beverages among pre-schoolers and investigate associations with gender and socio-economic status (SES). Design: Kindergarten-based cross-sectional survey within the large-scale European ToyBox-study. A standardized protocol was used and parents/ caregivers filled in sociodemographic data and a semi-quantitative FFQ. Setting: Kindergartens in six European countries (Belgium, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Poland and Spain). Subjects: European pre-schoolers (aged 3·5-5·5 years) and their parents/caregivers (n 7051). Results: Mean water intake was 1051 ml/d; plain water, 547 ml/d; plain milk, 241 ml/d; other fruit juice, 104 ml/d; pure fruit juice, 59 ml/d; soft drinks, 55 ml/d; tea, 45 ml/d; sugared and chocolate milk, 37 ml/d; smoothies, 15 ml/d; and light soft drinks, 6 ml/d. Boys had a higher water intake than girls due to a higher consumption of plain water, but more importantly to the consumption of beverages of less quality. Lower-SES pre-schoolers scored better on quantity than high-SES pre-schoolers, but as a consequence of consumption of sugared beverages. Nevertheless, the associations differed by country. Conclusions: The water intake from beverages did not meet the European Food Safety Authority standard of 1280 ml/d; especially in Western European countries water intake from beverages was low. The most important water sources were plain water, milk and fruit juices. Interventions aiming at a proper and sufficient water intake should focus on both quantity and quality. Messages about water and water sources should be clear for everyone and interventions should be sufficiently tailored.

“…First, the large study sample of preschool children from six European countries and three socioeconomic strata, as well as the fact that immigrant participants were included in the study sample, comprise strengths of the study. Moreover, overweight/obesity was based on objective measures conducted by rigorously trained researchers who achieved excellent intra-and interobserver reliability and defined according to one common criterion applied for all countries [32], and the questionnaires (to record sociodemographic, perinatal, and behavioral data) had "moderate-to-excellent reliability" [33]. On the other hand, the cross-sectional design of the study prohibits from the identification of cause-effect associations.…”
