Abstract
Introduction: Recent research findings support the assumption that the development of chronic diseases in adults is greatly influenced by the supply of nutrients in the uterus and the nutrition, nourishment of the early, toddler ages. Aim: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the nutritional habits of infants and toddlers aged 0-3 in Hungary, and to identify the most typical problems of their nutrition, to get to know and provide the necessary data for the modification and modernization of feeding/nutrition recommendations for infants and young children in Hungary. Method: The study was carried out with the professional coordination of the Hungarian Dietetic Association (MDOSZ) in the framework of industry research between June and August 2015, in the 0-3-year-old population, in the cities Budapest, Debrecen, Győr, Szeged and Pécs. The survey was conducted with anthropometric measurements and validated by three-day dietary log templates. Results: 18.6% of infants aged 4 to 12 months (n = 220) had values below 10th percentile, 10% were between 85-97th percentiles and 3% were above 97th percentile. 15% of children aged 12-24 months (n = 227) had a body mass index (BMI) below 10th percentile (underweight), 14% were between 85-97th percentile (overweight) and 2.6% had BMI over the 97th percentile (obese). 70% of 25-36-month-old children (n = 184) had normal BMI, 4% were overweight, 2% obese, 24% underweight. Based on the Hungarian reference value, 10.9% of the 4-12-month-old children, 20% of the 1-2-year-olds, 47% of the 2-3-year-olds were in high protein intake group. However, compared to the 2013's reference values of the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority) recommendation, 100% of the children belong to the high protein intake group in all age groups. Conclusion: Although the EFSA recommendation - based on the WHO/FAO/UNU macro- and micronutrient intake values in 2007 - defines the recommended intake quantities, the results in the sample did not support its overall reliability.

18.6% of infants aged 4 to 12 months (n = 220) had values below 10th percentile, 10% were between 85– 97th percentiles and 3% were above 97th percentile. 15% of children aged 12–24 months (n = 227) had a body mass index (BMI) below 10th percentile, 14% were between 85–97th percentile and 2.6% had BMI over the 97th percentile. 70% of 25–36-month-old children (n = 184) had normal BMI, 4% were overweight, 2% obese, 24% underweight
Summary
0–3 éves korú csecsemők és kisdedek táplálkozási szokásainak felmérése, különös tekintettel a makro- és mikronutriens-bevitelre. Célkitűzés: A vizsgálat célja a hazai 0–3 éves csecsemők, kisdedek táplálkozási szokásainak felmérése, illetve a csecsemő- és kisdedkorú gyermekek táplálkozását a leginkább jellemző problémák feltárása, a táplálási/táplálkozási ajánlások módosításához, korszerűsítéséhez szükséges adatok megismerése, szolgáltatása volt. Eredmények: A 4–12 hónapos (n = 220) csecsemők 18,6%-a 10 percentilis alatti értékkel rendelkezett, 10% 85–97 percentilis közé esett, míg 3% meghaladta a 97 percentilist. A 12–24 hónapos (n = 227) gyermekek 15%-a 10 percentilis alatti testtömegindexszel (BMI) rendelkezett (sovány), 14% BMI-je 85–97 percentilis közé esett (túlsúlyos), és 2,6% a 97 percentilist meghaladó BMI-vel rendelkezett (elhízott). Míg a hazai referenciaérték alapján a felmérésben részt vevő 4–12 hónapos gyerekek 10,9%-a, az 1–2 évesek 20%-a, a 2–3 évesek 47%-a a magas fehérjebe viteli tartományba esett, addig a 2013-ban kiadott EFSA- (Európai Élelmiszerbiztonsági Hatóság) ajánlás referenciaértékeihez viszonyítva viszont a vizsgált gyerekek 100%-a a magas fehérjebeviteli csoportba tartozik minden korcsoportban.
