“…In our study, salty snacks and sweetened carbonated drinks were consumed more frequently by boys. Similar results, indicating higher intake of these products among boys, were also demonstrated by Vanderlee et al and Wuenstel et al [26,27].…”

Introduction: Nutrition is one of the most important environmental factors affecting human health. The frequency, as well as the quality and quantity of consumed foods are significant. Regular and rational dietary habits and correct meal composition ensure good health and fitness, whereas poor dietary habits in childhood account for an early risk of overweightness and obesity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the dietary patterns of girls and boys attending primary schools in Poland, and to identify any associations between the pupils’ dietary patterns and their sex. Materials and methods: The study was carried out in spring 2017. It covered a total of 1138 primary school pupils. A proprietary questionnaire specially designed for the study was used to investigate the pupils’ dietary patterns. The findings were then analysed with the use of MS Excel 2010 and Statistica 12.0 software.Results: According to the survey, 67.36% of the female respondents and 55.4% of the male respondents ate the recommended number of meals each day. Among the respondents 72% of the girls and 73.27% of the boys reported eating breakfast daily. Fruits and vegetables were eaten several times per day by 60.38% and 43.11% of girls, respectively, v. 50.44% and 32.39% of boys, respectively. The frequency of milk and natural yoghurt consumption was adequate in 20.07% and 10.12% of girls, respectively, v. 20% and 11.5% of boys. Sweets and salty snacks were excluded from the diet of 2.97% and 2.27% of girls, respectively, v. 3.19% and 2.12% of boys, respectively. Sweetened carbonated drinks were consumed by 11.17% of girls and 6.55% of boys. Fast food and instant foods were eliminated from the daily diet of 7.16% and 45.03% of girls, respectively, v. 6.02% and 43.19% of boys, respectively.Conclusions: Some incorrect dietary habits were identified both in girls and boys, however girls generally reported more beneficial habits. Statistically significant associations were found between the majority of dietary patterns in the studied population and the respondents’ sex. The results of the study indicate a need for more intense nutritional education among primary school pupils, diversified for boys and girls.

“…As in another study, we observed no association between weight‐loss or weight maintenance goal and fast‐food consumption, but girls and boys trying to gain weight were more likely to eat fast‐food 3 times per week or more. Other studies have also shown an association between trying to lose weight and lower sugar‐sweetened beverages consumption . Thus, our study also showed that trying to gain weight was associated with higher sugar‐sweetened beverage consumption.…”

BACKGROUND: This study aims to quantify associations between one's weight management goal and eating behaviors and physical activity among teenagers. METHODS:Weighted logistic regressions were performed predicting healthy behaviors from weight goal separately for boys and girls while controlling for age, body mass index, socioeconomic indicators, school type, and region using data from the 2010 to 2011 Enquête québécoise sur la santé des jeunes du secondaire, a survey of a representative sample of Quebec adolescents (N = 32,040). RESULTS:About 18%, 31%, 19%, and 34% of boys and 32%, 34%, 5%, and 25% of girls were respectively trying to lose weight, maintain their weight, gain weight, and not trying to do anything about their weight. Trying to lose weight was associated with lower likelihood of eating breakfast daily (boys: odds ratio [OR] = 0.72; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.61, 0.84 girls: OR = 0.61; 95% CI = 0.54, 0.70). Among girls, trying to lose weight was also associated with higher likelihood of consuming at least 5 portions of fruits and vegetables (OR = 1.20; 95% CI = 1.04, 1.37), lower likelihood of drinking sugar-sweetened beverages daily (OR = 0.77; 95% CI = 0.66, 0.90). Each weight-related goal was associated with unhealthy behaviors but most of them were also associated with adoption of healthier ones. CONCLUSION:Having a weight related goal cannot inherently be thought of as health promoting goal.Citation: Durocher E, Gauvin L.
