An understanding of the source of children's foods and drinks is needed to identify the best intervention points for programs and policies aimed at improving children's diets. The mean number and type of eating occasions and the relative proportions of foods and drinks consumed from different sources were calculated among children aged 1-4 years ( = 2640) using data from the 2009-2014 National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys. Children consumed 2.9 meals and 2.4 snacks each day. Among children who received anything from childcare, childcare provided 36.2% of their foods and drinks. The majority of foods and drinks came from stores for all children (53.2% among those receiving anything from childcare and 84.9% among those not). Among children receiving food from childcare, childcare is an important source of foods and drinks. Because most foods and drinks consumed by children come from stores, parents and caregivers may benefit from nutrition education to promote healthful choices when buying foods.
为了确定旨在改善儿童饮食的计划和政策的最佳干预点，需要了解儿童食物和饮料的来源。利用 2009-2014 年全国健康和营养调查的数据，计算了 1-4 岁儿童（n=2640）每天的进食次数和类型以及从不同来源摄入的食物和饮料的相对比例。儿童每天吃 2.9 餐，2.4 次零食。在接受儿童保育服务的儿童中，儿童保育提供了他们 36.2%的食物和饮料。对于所有儿童来说，商店是他们的主要食物和饮料来源（接受儿童保育服务的儿童中占 53.2%，不接受儿童保育服务的儿童中占 84.9%）。在接受儿童保育服务的儿童中，儿童保育是食物和饮料的重要来源。由于儿童食用的大多数食物和饮料都来自商店，因此家长和照顾者可能会受益于营养教育，以便在购买食物时促进选择健康食品。
