The association of food consumption and macronutrient intake with dietary climate impact in Finland: Considerations on the role of energy intake
Objective: To study (1) the differences in dietary climate impact between sociodemographic groups, (2) the differences in food consumption and macronutrient intake as absolute amounts and in relation to energy intake by dietary climate impact level and (3) food groups as contributors of dietary climate impact. Design: Food consumption and energy and macronutrient intakes were calculated based on two non-consecutive 24-hour dietary recalls. Dietar…
Reducing the carbon footprint of diets across socio-demographic groups in Finland: A mathematical optimisation study
Objectives: To characterise nutritionally adequate, climate-friendly diets that are culturally acceptable across socio-demographic groups. To identify potential equity issues linked to more climate-friendly and nutritionally adequate dietary changes. Design: An optimisation model minimises distance from observed diets subject to nutritional, greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) and food-habit constraints. It is calibrated to socio-demographic groups d…
Partial replacement of red and processed meat with legumes: A modelling study of the impact on nutrient intakes and nutrient adequacy on the population level
Objective: The shift towards plant-based diets with less meat and more legumes is a global target and requires an understanding of the consequences of dietary adequacy on the population level. Our aim was to model the impact of partial replacement of red and processed meat with legumes on nutrient intakes and population shares below dietary reference intakes. Design: Modelling study with three scenarios anchored in meat cut-offs: ≤ 70 g/d (Finnis…
Explaining the 25-year decline of serum cholesterol by dietary changes and use of lipid-lowering medication in Finland
Objective To assess to what extent the observed dietary changes and increased use of lipid-lowering medication can explain the almost 20 % decline in serum cholesterol (referring to serum total cholesterol) level observed from 1982 to 2007 in Finland. Design Predicted changes of serum cholesterol were calculated by the Keys’ equation assuming the effect of trans fatty acids to be similar to SFA and using the dietary intake data of the national di…
Educational differences in the diet of Finnish adults and the associations between education and the determinants and facilitators of dietary fat quality
Objective The aim of the study is to elucidate differences in adults’ diet by education, and to analyse the associations between dietary facilitators, education and dietary fat quality. Design In all, one-third of subjects from the national FINRISK health survey were invited to participate in the FINDIET 2007 Survey. A 48 h dietary interview was used for dietary data and personal background data were collected by the health survey questionnaire. …
Dietary habits and nutrient intake of Finnish adolescents
Objective To evaluate food and nutrient intake and especially eating during the school day among Finnish secondary-school pupils. Design Cross-sectional study. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire mailed to home and by 48 h dietary recall interviews performed at schools in 2007. Setting Twelve schools in three cities in Finland. Subjects The seventh grade pupils (a total of 1469 at the mean age of 13·8 years). Questionnaire data w…
Findiet 2007 Survey: Energy and nutrient intakes
Objective The National FINDIET surveys are carried out every 5 years to monitor dietary habits and nutrient intake of the adult Finnish population. The latest survey was carried out in 2007. Design Cross-sectional population-based study. Dietary assessment was carried out using 48 h recall interviews. A picture book of food portions was used to estimate portion sizes and the national Food Composition Database Fineli ® to calculate nutrient intake…
Food consumption and nutrient intake in day care and at home in 3-year-old Finnish children
Objective To assess and compare the food consumption and nutrient intake between 3-year-old children cared for at home full-time and those attending day care outside the home. Nutrient intake on weekdays and weekends was also studied. Design Cross-sectional sample of children invited to the nutrition study within the Type 1 Diabetes Prediction and Prevention (DIPP) birth cohort born in 2001. Families returned 3-d food record completed close to th…
Food consumption and nutrient intake in Finnish 1–6-year-old children
Objective To study food consumption and nutrient intake in Finnish children aged 1–6 years and to assess the effect of age and sex on food consumption and nutrient intake. Design Cross-sectional samples of children participating in the Type 1 Diabetes Prediction and Prevention (DIPP) birth cohort study in Finland. Subjects The study population comprised healthy children recruited in the nutrition study within the DIPP study in 1998–2003. Three-da…
Diet composition of pregnant Finnish women: Changes over time and across seasons
Objective To describe the diet of a population of pregnant Finnish women over a period of 7 years, with special attention paid to seasonal fluctuations in food consumption and nutrient intake. Design A validated 181-item FFQ was applied retrospectively, after delivery, to assess the maternal diet during the 8th month of pregnancy. Setting Type 1 Diabetes Prediction and Prevention Nutrition Study Cohort. Subjects The cohort comprised a total of 48…
The diet of adolescents can be improved by school intervention
Objective To decrease the intake of sucrose, increase the intake of fibre and the consumption of fruit and vegetables among secondary-school pupils. Design Intervention study among eighth grade pupils during one school year. Data were collected by questionnaires and from a subgroup of pupils by 48 h dietary recall at baseline in spring 2007 and after the intervention in 2008. Setting Twelve secondary schools were randomly allocated to interventio…
Changes in the contribution of snacks to the daily energy intake of Finnish adults
Efficacy and safety of food fortification with calcium among adults in Finland
Objective To examine the efficacy and safety of foods fortified with calcium in the adult population in Finland. Design A simulation study based on the FINDIET 2002 Survey, which estimated habitual food consumption, dietary supplement use and nutrient intakes using 48-hour recall and two 3-day food records, and an Internet survey of the consumption of fortified foods and dietary supplements. Setting/participants Participants of FINDIET 2002 were …
