Due to growing popularity of food supplements the producers of such products introduce food supplements developed especially for children. This, as a consequence, may lead to a risk of exceeded intake of some nutrients.
The aim of this study was to identify determinants of vitamin/mineral supplements intake in 6-12-year-old children.
The study was conducted by questionnaire method among parents of 743 children attending primary schools. Dietary supplements during the year preceding the survey received 40% of children, while 16.7% on the tested day.
It was found that women with secondary and higher education level more frequently reported use of such preparations by their children (43% and 40% respectively). Supplements received more children with moderate or slight deficient body weight (54.2%) compared to children with severe deficiency (29.7%) or obese (25.8%); children with chronic diseases (56%) compared to healthy (37%), participating in extracurricular sport activities (49%) compared to non-participating (35%) and children with more correct dietary habits. Simultaneously supplements and fortified products were used by 34% of children.
. The decision of supplements use parents often undertook alone (67% of preparation), while only 31% of them after medical consultation. There is a need to educate children and their parents about the use of supplements and the risks associated with it.
由于食品补充剂越来越受欢迎，此类产品的生产商推出了专门为儿童开发的食品补充剂。结果，这可能导致某些营养素摄入过量的风险。
本研究的目的是确定6至12岁儿童维生素/矿物质补充剂摄入的决定因素。
通过问卷调查法对743名小学生的家长进行了研究。在调查前一年，40%的儿童服用膳食补充剂，而在测试当天这一比例为16.7%。
发现受过中等及以上教育水平的女性更频繁地报告其子女使用此类制剂（分别为43%和40%）。与严重体重不足（29.7%）或肥胖（25.8%）的儿童相比，中等或轻微体重不足的儿童服用补充剂的更多（54.2%）；与健康儿童（37%）相比，患有慢性病的儿童（56%）、参加课外体育活动的儿童（49%）相比不参加的儿童（35%）以及饮食习惯更正确的儿童服用补充剂的更多。同时，34%的儿童同时使用补充剂和强化产品。
家长使用补充剂的决定通常是独自做出的（67%的制剂），而只有31%的家长是在咨询医生后做出的。有必要对儿童及其家长进行关于补充剂使用及其相关风险的教育。
