A poor diet quality is associated with more gas-related symptoms and a decreased quality of life in French adults.

This study evaluated the association between dietary patterns, Gas-Related Symptoms (GRS) and their impact on quality of life (QoL) in a representative sample (n=936) of the French adult population. During the 2018-2019 "Comportements et Consommations Alimentaires en France" (CCAF) survey (Behaviors and Food Consumption in France), online evaluation of GRS in adult participants was performed using the validated Intestinal Gas Questionnaire (IGQ), which captures the perception of GRS and their impact on QoL via 6 symptom dimensions scores (range 0-100; 100=worse) and a global score (mean of the sum of the 6 symptom dimensions scores). Socio-demographics, lifestyle parameters and dietary habits (7-day e-food diary) were also collected online.

Clinical Prediction of Iron Deficiency at Age 2 Years: A National Cross-sectional Study in France.

Objective: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of existing clinical criteria and to develop prediction tools for iron deficiency in 2-year-old children.

Study Design: In a national cross-sectional study conducted in primary care pediatricians' practices throughout France, 2-year-old children were consecutively included (2016-2017). Multivariable logistic regression modeling and bootstrapping were used to develop several clinical models to predict iron deficiency (serum ferritin <12 μg/L).

Young children formula consumption and iron deficiency at 24 months in the general population: A national-level study.

Background & Aims: Iron deficiency (ID) is considered the most frequent micronutrient deficiency in industrialized countries where strategies for its primary prevention vary widely and are insufficiently evaluated. We aimed to study the effectiveness for iron status of a national iron deficiency prevention strategy based on recommendations for young-child formula (YCF) use after age 12 months, taking into consideration other sources of iron and the family's socio-economic status.

Methods: In a cross-sectional observational study conducted in primary care pediatrician offices throughout France from 2016 to 2017, infants aged 24 months were consecutively included for a food survey and blood sampling.

Food portion at ages 8-11 and obesogeny: The amount of food given to children varies with the mother's education and the child's appetite arousal.

During childhood, the amount of food consumed, associated with adiposity and overweight risk, depends mainly on the amount of food that is served, especially by parents. This study focuses on the food amount served by parents ("Portion"), with two objectives: 1/to confirm (or not) its link with the food amount eaten ("Intake") by their child; 2/to identify some of its correlates, i.e.

Breakfast Consumption in French Children, Adolescents, and Adults: A Nationally Representative Cross-Sectional Survey Examined in the Context of the International Breakfast Research Initiative.

This study examines the consumption of breakfast on the basis of a 7-day dietary record (Comportements et Consommations Alimentaires en France 2012⁻2013) in a representative sample of French children ( = 426), adolescents ( = 250), and adults ( = 1045). A large majority of the participants were regular consumers of breakfast (5⁻7 times per week). Breakfast accounted for 17.
