    \             <jats:p>The German total diet study (TDS)—BfR MEAL Study—established
    its food list in 2016 based on food consumption data of children (0.5–&lt;5 years)
    and adults (14–80 years). The list consists of 356 foods selected for analysis
    in order to ensure ≥90% coverage of the diet. Recently, new food consumption data
    for children (0.5–&lt;6 and 6–&lt;12 years) in Germany became available, which
    raised the opportunity to evaluate the applicability of the MEAL food list 2016
    on new data.</jats:p>\r\n            </jats:sec><jats:sec>\r\n              <jats:title>Objective</jats:title>\r\n
    \             <jats:p>We tested the hypotheses that the MEAL food list 2016 also
    covers ≥90% of the diet of the new collected food consumption data, and that the
    selection of foods from younger children and adults was sufficient to also cover
    the middle age group (6–&lt;12 years). Strategies for updating the existing food
    list were assessed.</jats:p>\r\n            </jats:sec><jats:sec>\r\n              <jats:title>Methods</jats:title>\r\n
    \             <jats:p>Three approaches evaluated the reusability and potential
    adjustment strategies of the existing food list. Approach 1 applied the existing
    food list to new food consumption data. Approach 2 allowed the extension of the
    existing food list to improve coverage of food consumption. Approach 3 set up
    a new food list based on the new data.</jats:p>\r\n            </jats:sec><jats:sec>\r\n
    \             <jats:title>Results</jats:title>\r\n              <jats:p>The MEAL
    food list 2016 covered 94% of the overall diet of the new collected food consumption
    data. The diet of the middle age group was sufficiently covered with 91%. However,
    coverage on main food group or population subgroup level was &lt;90% in some cases.
    Approach 3 most accurately identified relevant modifications to the existing food
    list. 94% of the MEAL food list 2016 could be re-used and 51 new foods were identified
    as potentially relevant.</jats:p>\r\n            </jats:sec><jats:sec>\r\n              <jats:title>Significance</jats:title>\r\n
    \             <jats:p>The results suggest that a high investment in the coverage
    of a TDS food list will lower the effort and the resources to keep data updated
    in the long-term.</jats:p>\r\n            </jats:sec><jats:sec>\r\n              <jats:title>Impact</jats:title>\r\n
    \             <jats:p>There is no established approach to update a TDS food list.
    This study provides comparative approaches to handle newly collected food consumption
    data for follow-on TDS activities. The results provide useful information for
    institutions planning or updating a TDS. Furthermore, new food consumption data
    for children in Germany recently became available and are here presented for the
    first time.</jats:p>\r\n            </jats:sec>"

  text: "Background\r\nUnderstanding changes in dietary intake during puberty could
    aid the mapping of dietary interventions for primary prevention. The present study
    describes dietary changes from childhood to adolescence, and their associations
    with parental education, family income, child education, body mass index (BMI),
    pubertal onset and screen-time sedentary behaviour.\r\nMethods\r\nDietary data
    (n = 1232) were obtained from food frequency questionnaires at the 10- and 15-year
    follow-ups of the GINIplus birth cohort study. Intakes of 17 food groups, macronutrients
    and antioxidant vitamins, were described by a) paired Wilcoxon rank sum tests,
    comparing average intakes at each time-point, and b) Cohen’s kappa “tracking”
    coefficients, measuring stability of intakes (maintenance of relative tertile
    positions across time). Further, associations of changes (tertile position increase
    or decrease vs. tracking) with parental education, family income, child education,
    pubertal onset, BMI, and screen-time, were assessed by logistic regression and
    multinomial logistic regression models stratified by baseline intake tertile.\r\nResults\r\nBoth
    sexes increased average intakes of water and decreased starchy vegetables, margarine
    and dairy. Females decreased meat and retinol intakes and increased vegetables,
    grains, oils and tea. Males decreased fruit and carbohydrates and increased average
    intakes of meat, caloric drinks, water, protein, fat, polyunsaturated fatty acids
    (PUFAs), vitamin C and alpha-tocopherol. Both sexes presented mainly “fair” tracking
    levels [κw = 0.21–0.40]. Females with high (vs. low) parental education were more
    likely to increase their nut intake [OR = 3.8; 95 % CI = (1.7;8.8)], and less
    likely to decrease vitamin C intakes [0.2 (0.1;0.5)], while males were less likely
    to increase egg consumption [0.2 (0.1;0.5)] and n3 PUFAs [0.2 (0.1;0.5)]. Females
    with a higher (vs. low) family income were more likely to maintain medium wholegrain
    intakes [0.2 (0.1;0.7) for decrease vs. tracking, and 0.1 (0.0;0.5) for increase
    vs. tracking], and were less likely to decrease vitamin C intakes [0.2 (0.1;0.6)].
    Males with high education were less likely to increase sugar-sweetened foods [0.1
    (0.1;0.4)]. Finally, BMI in females was negatively associated with decreasing
    protein intakes [0.7 (0.6;0.9)]. In males BMI was positively associated with increasing
    margarine [1.4 (1.1;1.6)] and vitamin C intakes [1.4 (1.1;1.6)], and negatively
    associated with increasing n3 PUFA.\r\nConclusions\r\nAverage dietary intakes
    changed significantly, despite fair tracking levels, suggesting the presence of
    trends in dietary behaviour during puberty. Family income and parental education
    predominantly influenced intake changes. Our results support the rationale for
    dietary interventions targeting children, and suggest that sex-specific subpopulations,
    e.g. low socio-economic status, should be considered for added impact."
