“…Our results are in line with the findings of Slade et al [28], who reported that 32% of infants younger than six months drank SSBs regularly. Leermakers et al [29] recently showed that the heavy consumption of SSBs begins in infancy. Children with the highest intakes of SSBs are more likely to be overweight or obese than children with lower intakes of such drinks [12,30,31].…”

“…Because we previously identified differences in associations of diet with body composition between boys and girls [29, 30], we evaluated the statistical interaction with sex by adding the product term of child sex and each of the dietary patterns to the multivariable models on FMI and FFMI. Statistical analyses were performed using SPSS version 21.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) and SAS version 9.1 (SAS Institute, Cary, NC, USA).…”

A priori and a posteriori dietary patterns at the age of 1 year and body composition at the age of 6 years: the Generation R Study

Dietary patterns have been linked to obesity in adults, however, not much is known about this association in early childhood. We examined associations of different types of dietary patterns in 1-year-old children with body composition at school age in 2026 children participating in a population-based cohort study. Dietary intake at the age of 1 year was assessed with a food-frequency questionnaire. At the children’s age of 6 years we measured their body composition with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and we calculated body mass index, fat mass index (FMI), and fat-free mass index (FFMI). Three dietary pattern approaches were used: (1) An a priori-defined diet quality score; (2) dietary patterns based on variation in food intake, derived from principal-component-analysis (PCA); and (3) dietary patterns based on variations in FMI and FFMI, derived with reduced-rank-regression (RRR). Both the a priori-defined diet score and a ‘Health-conscious’ PCA-pattern were characterized by a high intake of fruit, vegetables, grains, and vegetable oils, and, after adjustment for confounders, children with higher adherence to these patterns had a higher FFMI at 6 years [0.19 SD (95 % CI 0.08;0.30) per SD increase in diet score], but had no different FMI. One of the two RRR-patterns was also positively associated with FFMI and was characterized by intake of whole grains, pasta and rice, and vegetable oils. Our results suggest that different a priori- and a posteriori-derived health-conscious dietary patterns in early childhood are associated with a higher fat-free mass, but not with fat mass, in later childhood.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s10654-016-0179-x) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Because the FFQ was developed and validated for Dutch children, we performed sensitivity analyses in Dutch children only. Previous studies suggest that the influence of several nutrients in early life might differ between boys and girls (38,39). Furthermore, it is suggested that nutrients involved in the 1-carbon metabolism, such as folate, might interact with MTHFR polymorphisms (40).…”

Sugar-containing beverage intake in toddlers and body composition up to age 6 years: The Generation R Study

Abstract: Higher SCB intake at 13 months was associated with higher BMI up to age 6 years in girls but not in boys. Our results imply that the unfavorable effects of SCB intake start early in life and that dietary advice regarding limiting SCB intake should already be given early in life.
