Average daily consumption of sugars by children 5 to 12 yr was investigated by analyses of 7-day food diaries of a cross-sectional sample of American children. The average daily total sugar consumption for the total sample was 134.3 g with the food group of milk contributing, on the average, the greatest number of grams of sugars. Other food groups making significant contributions to the children's total sugar consumption were cakes, cookies, pies, and other desserts; sweetened beverages; fruits; and fruit juices. Spline distributions of total sugar intake revealed a few children were consuming over 280 g of sugars per average day while some consumed less than 44 g of sugars. Spline distributions, also indicated that the food groups most likely to be consumed at levels resulting in excessive amounts of sugars intake by particular children were sweetened beverages; cakes, cookies, pies, and other desserts; and fruit juices.
通过对美国儿童横断面样本的7天食物日记进行分析，研究了5至12岁儿童的每日平均糖摄入量。总样本的每日平均总糖摄入量为134.3克，其中牛奶食品组平均贡献的糖克数最多。对儿童总糖摄入量有显著贡献的其他食物组包括蛋糕、饼干、派和其他甜点；加糖饮料；水果；以及果汁。总糖摄入量的样条分布显示，一些儿童平均每天摄入超过280克糖，而一些儿童摄入少于44克糖。样条分布还表明，特定儿童最有可能以导致糖摄入量过多的水平食用的食物组是加糖饮料；蛋糕、饼干、派和其他甜点；以及果汁。
