To describe the nutrient intakes of an Italian cohort of infants at 6, 9 and 12 months of age.
Dietary data were collected using a food diary at three follow-ups (6, 9 and 12 months of age of infants). The infants' dietary data were used to estimate nutrient intakes using the Italian food composition database integrated with data from nutritional labels and the literature. The mean and standard deviation, median and interquartile range, minimum and maximum, and 5th, 25th, 75th and 95th percentiles were calculated for the daily intake of twenty-eight nutrients, with sex differences evaluated using parametric/non-parametric statistical methods.
A prospective population-based birth cohort.SubjectInfants (n 400) living in the urban area of Trieste (Italy).
The sex distribution was fairly balanced at each follow-up. The mean daily intakes of energy and the other twenty-seven nutrients considered were greater in males at all follow-ups. In particular, a significant statistical difference was observed in higher male consumption of cholesterol at 9 months and in energy and carbohydrate intakes at 12 months (P < 0·05). The mean daily intake of proteins was greater than that recommended by the Italian Dietary Reference Values at all follow-ups.
These preliminary results provide a useful basis for understanding the nutrient intake patterns of infants in this area of Italy during the first year of life.
描述意大利队列婴儿在 6、9 和 12 个月时的营养素摄入量。
通过在三个随访期(婴儿 6、9 和 12 个月时)使用食物日记收集饮食数据。使用意大利食物成分数据库和营养标签及文献中的数据来估计婴儿的饮食数据,以评估营养素摄入量。计算了二十八种营养素的每日摄入量的平均值和标准差、中位数和四分位间距、最小值和最大值以及 5、25、75 和 95 百分位数,使用参数/非参数统计方法评估性别差异。
前瞻性基于人群的出生队列。
生活在意大利的里雅斯特(意大利)城区的婴儿(n 400)。
在每个随访期,性别分布都相当均衡。在所有随访中,男性的能量和其他二十七个营养素的每日摄入量都更高。特别是在 9 个月时,男性胆固醇摄入量和 12 个月时能量和碳水化合物摄入量存在显著的统计学差异(P < 0.05)。在所有随访中,蛋白质的每日摄入量都高于意大利膳食参考值。
这些初步结果为了解意大利这一地区婴儿在生命第一年的营养素摄入模式提供了有用的基础。
