TL;DR
Higher longitudinal intakes of calcium, monounsaturated fat, and servings of dairy products were associated with lower body fat.
Abstract

1,439 Citations1995Richard P. Troiano
Increasing overweight among youths implies a need to focus on primary prevention, and attempts to increase physical activity may provide a means to address this important public health problem.
The FASEB JournalRegulation of adiposity by dietary calcium
976 Citations2000Michael B. Zemel, Hang Shi +3 more
Increasing dietary calcium suppresses adipocyte in‐tracellular Ca2+ and thereby modulates energy metabolism and attenuates obesity risk, and this concept of calcium modulation of adiposity was further evaluated epi‐demiologically in the NHANES III data set.

169 Citations1978GC Frank, Berenson Gs +1 more
A dietary study of 10-year-old children was incorporated into a larger epidemiological survey investigating the distributions, interrelationships, and course-over-time of arteriosclerosis risk factors in children, finding significant differences in the intakes of various forms of fat and carbohydrate.
PEDIATRICSFruit Juice Intake Is Not Related to Children's Growth
137 Citations1999Jean D. Skinner, Betty Ruth Carruth +3 more
The consistent lack of relationship between children's fruit juice intake and growth parameters in this study does not support previous recommendations to limit the intake of 100% fruit juice to <12 ounces/day and results consistently indicated no statistically significant differences in children's height, body mass index, or ponderal index related to fruit Juice intake.
Journal of the American Dietetic AssociationLongitudinal Study of Nutrient and Food Intakes of Infants Aged 2 to 24 Months
119 Citations1997Jean D. Skinner, Betty Ruth Carruth +5 more
The nutrient and food intakes of healthy, white infants from families of middle and upper socioeconomic status and to compare intakes to current recommendations were determined and several nutritional issues about infant feeding before 2 years of age arose.

91 Citations1998Carolyn Summerbell, Carolyn Watts +2 more
Dietary treatment can achieve as much weight loss in obese outpatients over 16 weeks as has been reported for the most successful drug treatment, but compliance with the prescribed diet is poor unless the diet is novel and simple.
PEDIATRICSIs There a Relationship Between Dietary Fat and Stature or Growth in Children Three to Five Years of Age?
91 Citations1993Steven A. Shea, Charles E. Basch +4 more
These data support the safety of a moderately reduced fat diet in healthy preschool children and maintenance of calcium and phosphorus intake should be part of any program of dietary fat reduction.

75 Citations1997Harri Niinikoski, Jorma Viikari +9 more
Moderate supervised restriction of fat intake to values 25 to 30 E% is compatible with normal growth, and parental height and body mass index and the child's absolute and relative energy intakes predicted the best children's growth patterns.

75 Citations1993Michael I. Goran, W. H. Carpenter +1 more
In young 4- to 6-yr-old children, TEE is approximately 25% lower than current recommendations for energy intake and combined measurement of FFM, heart rate, and REE explain 86% of interindividual variation in TEE, thus providing a possible alternative method to estimate TEE in young children.

72 Citations1999Jean D. Skinner, Betty Ruth Carruth +6 more
To determine nutrient and food intakes of 72 white preschool children primarily from families of middle and upper socioeconomic status and to compare children's nutrient intakes with current recommendations, in-home interviews were conducted with mothers when children were 24 to 60 months old.

68 Citations1997Eileen Kennedy, Rdn Tamberly Powell
From 1986 to 1994, no distinct trends of the energy intakes of children 5 years of age and under were observed, but in 1994, a greater percentage of children were meeting the dietary guidelines for fat and saturated fat than in 1989-91.

61 Citations1999Hanna Lagström, Ritva Seppänen +5 more
Nutrient intakes and growth were not significantly different in children whose fat intake patterns differed between 13 mo and 5 y of age, compared with healthy children with different fat intakes during the first 5 years of life.
Acta PaediatricaEffects of differences in dietary fat on growth, energy and nutrient intake from infancy to eight years of age
59 Citations1995TJC Boulton, Anthea Magarey
It is concluded that the contemporary shift to a lower fat diet in early childhood is unlikely to have deleterious effects on growth and nutrient intake if eaten in the context of a family eating pattern, which meets current guidelines.

54 Citations1995Peter S.W. Davies, J. Grégory +1 more
Data added to the growing literature that indicate that energy expenditure in young children is significantly below previous estimates indicate that secular changes in habitual levels of physical activity might be responsible for reduced levels ofPhysical activity.

46 Citations1996M Deheeger, Mouna Akrout +3 more
Correlations computed between early intakes and intakes at 8 years were better for energy and protein intake than for fat and carbohydrates (CHO), showing that intake of energy or protein early in life has a better predictive value of intake at later ages.

While patient copayments do reduce medicine use, they reduce the use of both desirable and less desirable medicines, and in the United Kingdom increases in prescription charges lead to only a slight decrease in prescriptions dispensed.
