Dietary Energy–Density and Adiposity Markers Among a Cohort of Multi-ethnic Children

Dietary Energy–Density and Adiposity Markers Among a Cohort of Multi-ethnic Children Background Evidence suggests that the association between dietary energy density (DED) and body composition in chil- dren is different than in adults. The purpose of this study was to measure if DED differed by race/ethnicity and if DED was associated with adiposity markers in children. Methodology Dietary intake and body composition were measured in a multi-ethnic sample of 307 children aged seven to 12 (39% European American, EA; 35% African American, AA; and 26% Hispanic American, HA). Dietary intake was measured by two 24-h recalls, and DED was calculated including and excluding energy-from beverages. Body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and other measurements included height, waist circumference, and body mass index (BMI). Participants were evaluated by total sample and plausibility of reported energy intake. Analysis of variance, independence tests, and multiple regression models were performed. Results A total of 33.5% of the children in the sample had a BMI ≥ 85 percentile. Among plausible reporters, the mean DED (solid food + energy-containing beverages) was ~ 128  kcal/100  g and mean DED (solid food only) was SF+EB SF 211 kcal/100 g. Pairwise comparisons among children showed that the mean of DED was higher in AA children compared to EA and http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Maternal and Child Health Journal Springer Journals

Abstract

Background Evidence suggests that the association between dietary energy density (DED) and body composition in chil- dren is different than in adults. The purpose of this study was to measure if DED differed by race/ethnicity and if DED was associated with adiposity markers in children. Methodology Dietary intake and body composition were measured in a multi-ethnic sample of 307 children aged seven to 12 (39% European American, EA; 35% African American, AA; and 26% Hispanic American, HA). Dietary intake was measured by two 24-h recalls, and DED was calculated including and excluding energy-from beverages. Body composition was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, and other measurements included height, waist circumference, and body mass index (BMI). Participants were evaluated by total sample and plausibility of reported energy intake. Analysis of variance, independence tests, and multiple regression models were performed.
