TI  - [Caloric intake and distribution of the main nutrients in a population of obese 
      children].
PG  - 257-61
AB  - Calorie intake and the main nutrient contents were assessed in a population of 
      152 obese (OB) children (86 M; 66 F; age 7-11) and 153 normal weight (NW) peers 
      (87 M; 66 F). The following method was used: a) an interview using a food 
      dictionary to assess food intake during the 2 days prior to the study and on one 
      holiday: and b) a weekly questionnaire. The mean food intake of OB did not exceed 
      that of NW, but on the contrary was lower (OB: 1812.9 +/- 39.6 kcal/die; NW: 
      1928.5 +/- 39.4 kcal/die; p less than 0.05). The population studied consumed 
      approximately 50% of calories as carbohydrates (CHO), 35% as fats (F) and 15% as 
      protein (P), and no difference was noted between OB and NW. The percentage of CHO 
      was lower than that recommended by LARN, whereas the percentages of F and P were 
      higher. A significant increase with age was noted in F and P intake as was a 
      significant reduction of CO. 70% of OB and 80% of NW matched or exceeded the 
      calorie intake recommended by LARN. 30% of OB and 24% of NW consumed 30% less 
      than the daily calorie intake recommended by LARN.
