Age and time trends of dairy intake among children and adolescents of the DONALD study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To describe age and time trends in dietary intake of Total Dairy (TD) (g/1000 kcal Total Energy Intake) and types of dairy (weight percent of total dairy intake, w%TD) represented as Low Fat Dairy (LFD), High Sugar Dairy (HSD), Fermented Dairy (FD) and Liquid Dairy (LD) among children and adolescents in Germany.

Methods

Overall, 10,333 3-day dietary records kept between 1985 and 2019 by 1275 DONALD participants (3.5-18.5 years; boys: 50.8%) were analyzed using polynomial mixed-effects regression models.

Results

TD intake decreased with age (♂: linear trend p < 0.0001; ♀: linear and quadratic trend p < 0.0001), whereas FD (♀: linear, quadratic, cubic trend p ≤ 0.02) increased slightly in girls. HSD (♂: linear, quadratic, cubic trend p ≤ 0.004; ♀: linear, quadra
