[Food habits and consumption of French adolescents. Synthesis of recent surveys].
Studies concerning French adolescents' eating habits have been published during the past four years. The review of such studies shows that nutrient intakes and food consumption are close to those of the adult population. Only the amount of nutrients especially with respect to lipids seems to be more satisfactory than in adults. This observation emphasizes the importance of familial environmental as the main factor of eating habits. French adolescents eat as the preceding generation even if some behaviors (snacks, fastfood) may appear very different from those in adults. However, this similitude does not imply that such habits are satisfactory.
