Abstract: | Trans fatty acid (TFA) intake has been identified as a health
hazard in adults, but data on preschool children are scarce. We
analyzed the data from the Spanish INMA Project to determine the
intake of total, industrial and natural TFA, their main sources
and the associated socio-demographic and lifestyle factors in
children aged 4-5 (n = 1793). TFA intake was estimated using a
validated Food Frequency Questionnaire, and multiple linear
regression was used to explore associated factors. The mean
daily intakes of total, industrial and natural TFA were 1.36,
0.60, and 0.71 g/day, respectively. Ten percent of the children
obtained >1% of their energy intake from TFA. The main
sources of industrial TFA were fast food, white bread and
processed baked goods. Milk, red and processed meat and
processed baked goods were the main sources of natural TFA.
Having parents from countries other than Spain was significantly
associated with higher natural TFA (in mg/day) intake (beta
45.5) and television viewing was significantly associated with
higher industrial TFA intake (beta 18.3). Higher fruits and
vegetables intake was significantly associated with lower
intakes of all TFAs, whereas higher sweetened beverages intake
was significantly associated with lower total and natural TFA
intake. Thus, total and industrial TFA intake was associated
with less healthy food patterns and lifestyles in Spanish
preschool children. Trans fatty acid (TFA) intake has been identified as a health hazard in adults, but data on preschool children are scarce.
