title: [Nutrition in preschool and school age (author's transl)].
abstract: The results of energy and nutrient consumption surveys of 2--14 year old children in their families are described. It is shown that the average energy and nutrient consumption of an age-group is not obligatory for a single child. Based on menus the amount of the different foodstuffs for the average energy and nutrient supply of preschool and schoolchildren is demonstrated. Children receive on average, independent of their socio-economic background, a mixed diet which, in our present knowledge, guarantees a good supply with energy and nutrients. The risk factors in the modern trend in nutrition, as increasing consumption of skimmed milk and skimmed dairy products, carbohydrate rich foodstuffs of low biological value and sweetened drinks are discussed.
