    Abstract: We describe a novel dietary assessment strategy to estimate usual food intake in the ongoing large-scale multi-center German National Cohort (GNC). The dietary assessment is based on three 24 h food lists (24h-FL) and a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) enriched by information from the representative German National Nutrition Survey II (NVS II). The novelty of this dietary assessment strategy is based on separating the probability of food intake from daily consumption amounts. The probability of consumption is estimated from 24h-FLs used in the GNC. To estimate daily consumption amounts, the already collected data of the NVS II are used. The 24h-FL simplifies the question on food consumption for all foods asked to consumption or not and so the questionnaire can be completed in about 10 minutes, reducing the burden on study participants. As proof of concept, we applied the assessment strategy to pretest data collected in 2012 to 2013 to assess the feasibility of the instruments. In brief, the novel dietary assessment strategy comprises three steps. First, the individuals’ consumption probability is estimated by three 24h-FLs and one FFQ applying a logistic linear mixed model adjusted for characteristics of the participants. Second, person-specific daily consumption amounts are estimated from the NVS II applying a linear mixed model taking the characteristics of the participants into account. Third, usual food intake is estimated by the consumption probability multiplied by person-specific daily amounts. Usual intake of 41 food groups in 318 men and 377 women were estimated. Of those participants who completed the first 24h-FL, 84.4, and 68.5% completed the second and third 24h-FL, respectively. No associations were observed between probability to participate and lifestyle factors. The estimated usual food intake distributions were in a plausible range as shown by comparing the estimated energy intake to the energy needs approximated by estimated total energy expenditure. Total energy was estimated to be 2,707 kcal/day for men and 2,103 kcal/day for women. With a few exceptions, the estimated food-based consumption probabilities did not differ considerably between men and women. The differences in energy intake between men and women were mainly due to their differences in the estimated person-specific daily amounts. As a conclusion, plausible but not validated values for usual food intake were derived in the pretest study, so that the combination of three repeated 24h-FLs, an FFQ and person-specific daily amounts from an external source is a feasible strategy for dietary assessment.

    Abstract: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a combination of risk factors that may be present already in childhood. MetS has been associated with inflammatory biomarkers such as high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) in aduls. In 2014, Ahrens et al, published reference standards for a paediatric MetS score based on reference values from European children. The aim of this study is to assess longitudinally the relationship between a MetS score and hsCRP in a sample of European children. Materials and Methods Out of the baseline sample of the IDEFICS Study, 2913 children aged 2–9 years were included in this study. Inclusion criteria was having available data of waist circumference (WC), diastolic and systolic blood pressure (DBP, SBP), high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, triglycerides (TG), glucose and insulin, to calculate the homeostasis model assessment index (HOMA); and hs-CRP as a marker of inflammation, at baseline (T0) and two years later (T1). hs-CRP was categorized into two categories as some children had lower concentration than the detection limit of 0.02mg/dL. Student t-test and logistic regression were used to assess these associations. Logistic regression was adjusted by age, sex, body mass index (BMI), socioeconomic level and country. Results Differences of mean values of the components of the MetS and the two categories of hs-CRP were observed between both time points. Mean values of SBP, DBP, WC, TG and HOMA were significantly higher in children with a higher category of hsCRP (p 〈 0.005). In addition, MetS score was significantly higher in those with a higher category of hs-CRP (p 〈 0.001) at both measurement points, T0 and T1. Finally, logistic regression between components of MetS and categories of hs-CRP, at both time points, showed significant associations (p 〈 0.001) for WC (OR = 1.06 at T0 and OR = 1.04 at T1) and HDL (OR = 0.98 at T0 and OR = 0.98 at T1) and the MetS score (OR = 1.07) score at T1. Discussion The association between MetS and inflammation is already present in children. Out of the components of the MetS, WC and HDL were the ones more associated with an inflammatory state at two times points. Also the MetS score, but only at the follow-up, was associated with the hs-CRP. Therefore, in order to prevent the inflammatory state in childhood, efforts to improve the metabolic profile, specially WC and HDL, need to be made.

    Abstract: The relationship between social vulnerabilities and the effectiveness of behavioral interventions to prevent obesity in children is poorly understood. Therefore, the objective of this study is to evaluate the association between parental employment and the effectiveness of IDEFICS, a multilevel behavioral intervention aiming to prevent obesity among children (2 to 9.9 years old) in eight European countries. Data from 9,901 children and their parents was included in the analysis. We determined the Body Mass Index (BMI) z-score mean difference as the measurement of the intervention effectiveness and we calculated it as the follow-up (T 1 ) BMI z-score mean minus baseline (T 0 ) BMI z-score mean. Parents self-reported their employment status at T 0 and T 1 . Children were classified, at both study times (T 0 and T 1 ), as children with employed parents (both parents employed) or as children with unemployed parents (one or both parents unemployed or receiving social assistance). We calculated unadjusted and adjusted multilevel mixed model analyses to evaluate if the employment status at T 0 and the evolution of the employment status within a two-year period (from T 0 to T 1 ) predicted the BMI z-score mean difference among boys and girls. In boys, parental unemployment at T 0 and throughout a two-year period (T 0 to T 1 ) predicted an increase of BMI z-score mean difference when compared to boys with employed parents (unemployment at T 0 : adjusted β = 0.12; p = 0.028; and unemployment from T 0 to T 1 : adjusted β = 0.20; p = 0.031). We found no difference in the effectiveness of the IDEFICS intervention among girls with unemployed parents at T 0 and from T 0 to T 1 when compared to girls with employed parents (unemployment at T 0 : adjusted β = 0.04; p = 0.337; and unemployment from T 0 to T 1 : adjusted β = 0.10; p = 0.216, respectively). Our results suggest that the influence of parental unemployment in the IDEFICS outcome is different for boys and girls. Employment of both parents, which is related to a higher income, could contribute the families to engage healthier eating and physical activity behaviors among boys. Future multilevel interventions should include a combination of community-based and school-based components, as well as family-centered components, specifically on those families with parents out of the labor force, to address specific barriers or vulnerabilities that prevent them from improving behavior and weight status.

    Abstract: Chrono-nutrition is an emerging field of research that focuses on the interplay between nutrition, circadian rhythms and metabolism. Most nutritional guidelines recommend regular and frequent meals for children and adolescents throughout the day. However, preliminary research, mostly in animals suggests that eating at the “wrong” time of the day and longer eating windows (and concomitant shorter fasting periods) may relate to metabolic health. This study aimed to identify meal-timing patterns of European children and adolescents in eight European countries. We examined 1225 children and adolescents (mean age: 11.8 years, 50% boys, and 26% overweight/obese) from Belgium, Cyprus, Estonia, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain and Sweden enrolled in the European I.Family study (2013/2014). Information on energy intake and meal-timing patterns was derived from multiple web-based 24-hour dietary recalls (proxy-assisted for children 〈 12 years). We used the National Cancer Institute (NCI) method to estimate individual usual intakes. Subsequently, we applied the k-means algorithm to identify clusters for meal-timing patterns. Five variables were selected for the cluster analysis: 1) Duration between first and last meal of the day (eating window in hours), 2) Proportion of daily energy intake before 11am, 3) Proportion of daily energy intake after 5pm, 4) Number of meals per day, and 5) Pre-sleep fasting time. Three clusters, labelled “late and time-restricted”, “late and long” and “early and frequent” meal-timing patterns were identified. Similar clusters were derived when excluding energy misreporters according to Goldberg cut-offs. Children in the “early and frequent” pattern were younger, had a lower body mass index (BMI) z-score, and a longer sleep duration than children in the other two meal-timing patterns. A higher proportion of plausible energy reporters were classified into the “early and frequent” pattern than into the other two patterns. The proportion of children from Italy, Cyprus and Spain was highest in the “late and long” pattern, while the proportion of children from Belgium, Sweden, Germany and Hungary was highest in the “early and frequent” patterns, and the proportion of children from Estonia was highest in the “late and time-restricted” pattern. In conclusion, this study identified three different meal-timing patterns in children that varied by age, BMI z-score, country, misreporting status, and sleep duration. Investigations on the associations between meal timing patterns and metabolic health in this study sample are currently ongoing.
