目的描述美国4~24个月婴幼儿的食物消费模式。通过电话访谈和24小时饮食回顾，对2002年喂养婴幼儿研究中收集的数据进行设计描述性分析。对象为全国随机抽样的3,022名4~24个月婴幼儿。统计分析采用单一的24小时回忆法，估计6个年龄组的婴幼儿食用特定食物组的百分比。结果7个月大的婴幼儿呈现出年龄较大的儿童和成年人所观察到的食物模式。在7到24个月大的婴幼儿中，有18%到33%的人没有单独食用蔬菜，23%到33%的人没有吃水果。炸薯条是9至11个月大的婴儿最常食用的三种蔬菜之一。到了15到18个月，炸薯条就成了最常见的蔬菜。近一半(46%)的7至8个月大的婴儿饮用某种甜点、甜食或含糖饮料，这一比例随着年龄的增长而增加。到19到24个月时，62%的幼儿食用烘焙甜点，20%食用糖果，44%食用含糖饮料。父母和照顾者应该被鼓励每天提供各种各样的蔬菜和水果，重点是深绿色、多叶和深黄色的蔬菜和五颜六色的水果。他们应该只偶尔提供甜点、甜食、加糖饮料和咸味零食，提供营养丰富、适合年龄的食物作为替代品(例如，水果、奶酪、酸奶和谷类食品)。水、牛奶和100%果汁应该作为替代饮料提供。由于家庭食物选择会影响提供给儿童的食物，因此以家庭为基础的养成健康饮食习惯的方法可能会有所帮助。
Objective To describe the food consumption patterns of US infants and toddlers, 4 to 24 months of age.Design Descriptive analysis of data collected in the 2002 Feeding Infants and Toddlers study based on telephone interviews and 24-hour dietary recalls.Subjects A national random sample of 3,022 infants and toddlers age 4 to 24 months.Statistical Analyses Performed The percentage of infants and toddlers consuming foods from specific food groups was estimated for six age groups, using a single 24-hour recall.Results Infants as young as 7 months of age showed food patterns that have been observed in older children and adults. From 18% to 33% of infants and toddlers between ages 7 and 24 months consumed no discrete servings of vegetables, and 23% to 33% consumed no fruits. French fries were one of the three most common vegetables consumed by infants 9 to 11 months of age. By 15 to 18 months, french fries were the most common vegetable. Almost half (46%) of 7- to 8-month-olds consumed some type of dessert, sweet, or sweetened beverage, and this percentage increased as age increased. By 19 to 24 months, 62% of toddlers consumed a baked dessert, 20% consumed candy, and 44% consumed a sweetened beverage.Applications Parents and caregivers should be encouraged to offer a wide variety of vegetables and fruits daily, with emphasis on dark green, leafy, and deep yellow vegetables and colorful fruits. They should offer desserts, sweets, sweetened beverages, and salty snacks only occasionally, offering nutrient-dense, age-appropriate foods as alternatives (eg, fruit, cheese, yogurt, and cereals). Water, milk, and 100% fruit juices should be offered as alternative beverages. Because family food choices influence what foods are offered to children, family-based approaches to developing healthy eating habits may be helpful.
