最近的报告强调了今天苏格兰儿童和成人饮食的某些方面，这是一个令人担忧的问题。如果家庭成员之间在食物选择和营养摄入方面存在显著关联，这可能对与饮食风险因素有关的疾病的病因学和预防具有重要意义。目的比较苏格兰51/2-81/2岁儿童与其母亲的食物摄入量。方法作为一项大型研究的一部分，从36名苏格兰儿童（12名男孩和24名女孩）及其母亲的4天称重食物记录中获得食物摄入量数据，这些儿童参加了1992/1993年全国饮食和营养调查（NDNS），年龄为51/2-81/2。结果与母亲相比，儿童的水果、面包和糖果等零食的中位数密度[每4.2 MJ （1000 kcal）的食物重量(g)]较高，而肉类和肉制品、鱼类、土豆和蔬菜的中位数密度较低。面包（r = 0.360, P < 0.05）、水果（r = 0.735, P < 0.001）和土豆（r = 0.572, P < 0.001）以及薯片（r = 0.651, P < 0.001）和巧克力糖果（r = 0.368, P < 0.05）的中位数密度在儿童和母亲之间发现了正的、显著的相关性，后两种食物是苏格兰人平均饮食中应该减少的食物。结论：儿童对零食的摄入量与其母亲的摄入量相关，强调如果要实施现行的饮食指南，需要在家庭层面进行改变。
Background Recent reports have highlighted certain aspects of the diets of children and adults in Scotland today that are a cause for concern. If there are significant associations between family members in food choice and thus in nutrient intakes, this may be important in the aetiology and prevention of diseases relating to dietary risk factors.Aim To compare the food intake of Scottish children aged 51/2-81/2 years with that of their mothers.Methods As part of a larger study, data on food intakes were obtained from 4-day weighed food records for 36 Scottish children (12 boys and 24 girls), aged 51/2-81/2 years, who had participated in the 1992/1993 National Diet and Nutrition Survey (NDNS), and their mothers.Results Compared with their mothers, children had higher median densities [weight (g) of foods per 4.2 MJ (1000 kcal)] of snack foods including fruit, bread and confectionery and lower median densities of meat and meat products, fish, potatoes and vegetables. Positive, significant correlations between children and mothers were found for median densities of bread (r = 0.360, P < 0.05), fruit (r = 0.735, P < 0.001) and potatoes (r = 0.572, P < 0.001) and also for chips (r = 0.651, P < 0.001) and chocolate confectionery (r = 0.368, P < 0.05), the latter two being foods that should be reduced in the average Scottish diet.Conclusions Children's intakes of snack foods were correlated with that of their mothers emphasizing the need for change at a family level if current guidelines on diet are to be implemented.
