The purpose of the paper is to describe food and drinks available in food stands or cantina at Danish schools and food and drinks provided at after school care institutions in Denmark.
The survey was performed in 1999 and self-administered postal questionnaires were sent to all private and public schools and all after school care institutions in Denmark. The participation rate was 70 at schools and 66 at after school care institutions.
In total, 3% of schools and 4% of after school care institutions have a written policy on nutrition. All Danish children have access to milk at school and they can choose between milk with low and high content of fat. Vending machines are rare at schools and are not present at all at after school care institutions. Only 10% of schools offer children sugared carbonated drinks at food stands. Fruit is available daily in 35% of schools, at food stands, and in 18% of the schools, fruit is available on prescription. In after school care institutions, sweets and sugared carbonated drinks are rare. However, juice is served daily in 47% of after school care institutions. Most schools run the food stand at school for profit.
The paper highlights the important aspects of the institutional level as one of six important levels as regards the prevention of obesity and an important level at which to act to increase nutrition habits in school children.
本文旨在描述丹麦学校食品摊或食堂提供的食品和饮料，以及丹麦课后托管机构提供的食品和饮料。
该调查于1999年进行，通过邮寄方式向丹麦所有私立和公立学校以及所有课后托管机构发放了自填式问卷。学校的参与率为70%，课后托管机构的参与率为66%。
总体而言，3%的学校和4%的课后托管机构有关于营养的书面政策。所有丹麦儿童在学校都能喝到牛奶，他们可以在低脂和高脂牛奶之间进行选择。学校里自动售货机很少见，课后托管机构根本没有。只有10%的学校在食品摊为儿童提供含糖碳酸饮料。35%的学校每天在食品摊提供水果，18%的学校按处方提供水果。在课后托管机构，糖果和含糖碳酸饮料很少见。然而，47%的课后托管机构每天提供果汁。大多数学校经营校内食品摊以盈利。
本文强调了机构层面作为预防肥胖六个重要层面之一的重要方面，也是采取行动改善学童营养习惯的重要层面。
