For the first time, 2020–2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans include recommendations infants and toddlers under 2 years old. We aimed to create a diet quality index based on scoring system ages 12 23.9 months, Toddler Diet Quality Index (DQI), evaluate its construct validity using 24 h dietary recall data collected from national sample of children Feeding Infants Toddlers Study (FITS) 2016. The mean (standard error) DQI was 49 (0.6) out 100 possible points, indicating room improvement....

We present methodology to identify statistically distinct patterns of daily alcohol use and classify them into categories that could be further used in monitoring transitions between such as from regular problem use. The study analyzed individual adult consumption two datasets containing short (< 6 month) long (up 2 years) records drinking. These data were collected over the period 1999 2003. By using a non-parametric (Kolmogorov–Smirnov) test we have identified drinking classified 8 types...

Brazil is the most populous country in South America. Using 24 h dietary data, we compared nutrient intakes of 4-13-year-olds to reference values and tested for regional socioeconomic (SES) differences. A considerable proportion reported below Estimated Average Requirements (EAR) vitamins E (78.1%, 96.5%), D (100% both), calcium (80.5%, 97.7%) 4-8 9-13-year-olds, respectively. Few exceeded Adequate Intakes (AI) potassium or fiber. Older children greater inadequacies and, while there was...

Dual-frame, random-digit-dialing (DFRDD) surveys, using a frame of landline telephone numbers and cell phone numbers, have become the norm for surveys. Two alternative constructions sample exclusively from frame, referred to as ‘single-frame cell,’ listed ‘listed/cell.’ The listed/cell construction differs DFRDD in that it does not select unlisted-landline members. We observe our simulated data results estimates more closely approximate compared with single-frame cell, an improvement...
To evaluate the prevalence of underweight, overweight and obesity among children aged 4 to 13.9 years in Brazil.
