Abstract:
Bean consumption during childhood may play a role in promoting early-life health given their high nutritional quality. To examine the associations of children\'s bean consumption with the socio-demographic characteristics of the child and mother and the child\'s nutrient intake, we analyzed data from the WIC-ITFPS-2, which followed children and their mothers at 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 18, and 24 months (m) following birth. Caregivers (mostly mothers) responded to an interview-administered 24 h recall on their child\'s dietary intake at each time point. The intake of dried beans, chili, yellow beans, and lima beans was quantified. Correlate measures included socio-demographic characteristics. Outcome measures of interest focused on the intake of macronutrients (grams and % kcals) and micronutrients at 11 (infancy) and 24 m (toddler) only. To ensure statistical power, we only examined the associations of dried beans and chili with socio-demographics (Chi-square tests) and nutritional outcomes (ANOVA) at 11 and 24 m. The proportion of children who consumed dried beans or chili was very low in the first 6 m of age, started to increase at 7 m (1.2% and 0.4%) and 11 m (4.9% and 2.3%), and reached a high level at 18 m (10.5%) and 24 m (5.9%), respectively. Consumption of yellow or lima beans was rare (<0.1%). At 11 and 24 m, dried bean consumption was higher in children who were White (vs. Black). Dried bean and chili consumption was higher in children who were of Hispanic or Latino ethnicity (vs. non-Hispanic or non-Latino ethnicity). Children who consumed dried beans and chili at 11 or 24 m had a higher intake of total energy, protein, total fiber, potassium, folate, and magnesium compared with non-consumers. The bean consumption was low amongst children, differed by race and ethnicity, and was associated with improved macro- and micronutrient intake in children at 11 and 24 m.
摘要:
儿童时期的豆类消费可能在促进早期健康方面发挥作用,因为它们的营养质量很高。检查儿童的豆类消费与儿童和母亲的社会人口统计学特征以及儿童的营养摄入量的关联,我们分析了WIC-ITFPS-2的数据,该数据在出生后1,3,5,7,9,11,13,15,18和24个月(m)随访儿童及其母亲.照顾者(主要是母亲)在每个时间点对孩子的饮食摄入量进行了24小时回忆。干豆的摄入量,辣椒,黄豆,利马豆被量化了。相关措施包括社会人口特征。感兴趣的结果指标仅集中在11(婴儿期)和24m(幼儿)时的大量营养素(克和%kcals)和微量营养素的摄入量。为了确保统计能力,我们只检查了11米和24米的干豆和辣椒与社会人口统计学(卡方检验)和营养结果(ANOVA)的关系。食用干豆或辣椒的儿童比例在最初6米的年龄非常低,开始增加7米(1.2%和0.4%)和11米(4.9%和2.3%),并达到18米(10.5%)和24米(5.9%)的高水平,分别。食用黄色或利马豆很少(<0.1%)。在11和24米,白人儿童的干豆消费量较高(与黑色)。西班牙裔或拉丁裔儿童的干豆子和辣椒消费量较高(与非西班牙裔或非拉丁裔)。在11或24米时食用干豆和辣椒的儿童总能量摄入量较高,蛋白质,总纤维,钾,叶酸,和镁与非消费者相比。儿童的豆类消费量很低,因种族和民族不同,并与11和24m儿童的大量和微量营养素摄入量改善有关。
