3.15 Main dietary factors by socio-demographic factors
The consumption of fruit and vegetables, and the intake of saturated fatty acids, vitamin D, fibre, and
fish by socio-demographic factors are shown in Table 3-34. A higher education level of at least one of
the carers was related to higher vegetable consumption, and to higher intake of vitamin D and fibre.
Children from the three largest cities consumed more vegetables and had a higher intake of fibre than
children in other regions. There was a difference in the consumption of vegetables, intake of saturated
fatty acids and fibre by weight; without indicating a causal relationship the intake of vegetables and
fibre was higher in those of higher weight. Working status of the carers was not clearly related to the
main dietary factors. Only those with both carers working had an higher intake of vitamin D. Size of
household was only related to vitamin D intake. Children in a 2 to 3 person household had a higher
vitamin D intake than those from a 4 or more person household. No differences were observed in fish
consumption by socio-demographic factors.
