Abstract

Background There is a lack of data in Greece on trends in food intake according to weight status and physical activity (PA), despite the high prevalence of obesity. The present study aimed to examine differences in these parameters among first-grade children from Crete, Greece, over a 15-year period. Methods Children (aged 5.97.6years) from two representative cross-sectional studies participated during 1992/93 (n=245) and 2006/07 (n=257). Estimated 3-day food records were used to assess food consumption and energy-density (ED) [kJ g1 (kcal g1)]. Moderate-to-vigorous-PA (MVPA) and cardiorespiratory-fitness were assessed by questionnaires and the 20-m shuttle-run test (20mSRT), respectively. Results In 2006/07, compared to 1992/93, both sexes had a significantly higher intake of dairy products and snacks (P
