Brief summary
This study investigates the aspects related to the intake of food and nutrients, physical activity and sedentary behavior of Spanish children from 1 to 9 years. Furthermore, the investigators will know if the consumption of dairy products is associated with a better dietary pattern. Hypothesis: The habitual consumption of dairy products as part of a regular diet is associated with a better dietary pattern and a higher global diet quality.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Dietary quality index for children KidMed | 10 months | Evaluate the quality of the diet through this quality index for the specific age group |
| Active and sedentary habits | 10 months | Active and sedentary habits were measured with the 1-week activity recall validated in children |
| Milk and dairy products consumption | 10 months | Evaluate the different types of milk that children drink in 24 h, twice through 24 h dietary |
| Dietary habits | 10 months | Dietary diversity and variety determinated by using a FFQ from last year of consumption, the FFQ consisted of 150 food items commonly used in the local Spanish cuisine. The FFQ asked about consumption of foods and beverages in portions per day, week or month |
| Food | 10 months | Food groups will be obtained from the FFQ of last year's consumption, the FFQ consisted of 150 food items commonly used in the local Spanish cuisine. The FFQ asked about consumption of foods and beverages in portions per day, week or month. The food based dietary guidelines from Spain will be used to determine the number of portions consumed per food group. |
| Beverages | 10 months | Beverage groups will be obtained from the FFQ of last year's consumption, the FFQ consisted of 150 food items commonly used in the local Spanish cuisine. The FFQ asked about consumption of foods and beverages in portions per day, week or month. The food based dietary guidelines from Spain will be used to determine the number of portions consumed per beverage group. |
| Energy, macro and micronutrient composition of the diet | 10 months | Energy, macro and micronutrient composition of the diet determined by 2 24-h recalls |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Goldberg & Black cut-off for Energy Intake: Plausibility of the reported energy intake | 1 year | Measured by the relation between the reported energy intake and the estimated energy expenditure. The cut-off points are determined by the information reported by the population itself. |
| Growth and BMI | 1 year | Determined by reported age, weight (kg), and height (cm) |
