Nutrition in ten-year-old children of the Liberec area (Czech Republic).
Food intake and nutrition were studied in a representative population of 10-year-olds living in the Czech Republic (n = 339), along with biological parameters (anthropometry, cholesterol) and social factors. The weight/height body mass index was normal (average = 17 kg/m2), in spite of energy intake (about 8,000 kJ) 10% below Czech recommendations. The protein-fat-carbohydrate distribution of the diet was 11, 35 and 54%. Many children had a high level of serum cholesterol (mean 4.38 mmol/l). Finally, ingesting a healthier lunch at school than at home improved the daily ration in energy and many nutrients.[1]References
