Abstract
Valid estimates of population intakes are essential for monitoring trends as well as for nutritional interventions, but such data are rare in young children. In particular, the problem of misreporting in dietary data is usually not accounted for. Therefore, this study aims to provide accurate estimates of intake distributions in European children.
Cross-sectional setting-based multi-centre study.
A total of 9560 children aged 2-9 years from eight European countries with at least one 24-h dietary recall (24-HDR).
