Characteristics of beverage consumption habits among a large sample of french adults: Associations with total water and energy intakes

Background: Adequate hydration is a key factor for correct functioning of both cognitive and physical processes. In France, public health recommendations about adequate total water intake (TWI) only state that fluid intake should be sufficient, with particular attention paid to hydration for seniors, especially during heatwave periods. The objective of this study was to calculate the total amount of water coming from food and beverages and to analyse characteristics of consumption in participants from a large French national cohort. Methods: TWI, as well as contribution of food and beverages to TWI was assessed among 94,939 adult participants in the Nutrinet-Sante cohort (78% women, mean age 42.9 (SE 0.04)) using three 24-h dietary records at baseline. Statistical differences in water intakes across age groups, seasons and day of the week were assessed. Results: The mean TWI was 2.3 L (Standard Error SE 4.7) for men and 2.1 L (SE 2.4) for women. A majority of the sample did comply with the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) adequate intake recommendation, especially women. Mean total energy intake (EI) was 1884 kcal/day (SE 1.5) (2250 kcal/day (SE 3.6) for men and 1783 kcal/day (SE 1.5) for women). The contribution to the total EI from beverages was 8.3%. Water was the most consumed beverage, followed by hot beverages. The variety score, defined as the number of different categories of beverages consumed during the three 24-h records out of a maximum of 8, was positively correlated with TWI (r = 0.4); and with EI (r = 0.2), suggesting that beverage variety is an indicator of higher consumption of food and drinks. We found differences in beverage consumptions and water intakes according to age and seasonality. Conclusions: The present study gives an overview of the water intake characteristics in a large population of French adults. TWI was found to be globally in line with public health recommendations

Évaluation des fréquences de consommation alimentaire d’une population d’immigrés en situation d’insertion en région parisienne

National audienceIntroduction – Changing countries mean that migrants need to learn some basic benchmarks. This adaptation can lead to unhealthy dietary habits. The purpose of this study was to describe the dietary consumptions of major food groups in a migrant population surveyed during their mandatory visit at the Office of Immigration and Integration (OFII), and to assess the relationships between these consumptions and the duration of their residence in France. Méthods – Migrants attenting the OFII as part of their mandatory immigration process with a proficiency in written and spoken French, were included in this study on a voluntary basis. Participants responded to a self-administered food frequency questionnaire based on 11 food groups. We carried out adjusted analyzes on socio-demographic caracteristics to evaluate relationships between these consumptions and duration of stay. Results – A total of 723 participants were included in this study. Among them, 33.4% consumed at least 5 fruits and vegetables a day. Only 13.3% consumed 3 dairy products a day. In addition, 66.3% consumed seafood at least twice a week. More than a quarter of the sample (28.0%) consumed sweetened beverages daily, and half of them sugary (48.7%) or fatty and salty (47.0%) products every day. There was no association between food group consumption and duration of stay in France. Conclusion – Dietary habits of migrants appear to have specific characteristics compared to those observed in the general population. Nutritional prevention messages should be adapted to these cultural specificities.Introduction – En changeant de pays, les migrants doivent se réapproprier certains repères fondamentaux. Cette adaptation peut conduire à l’instauration d’habitudes alimentaires moins favorables à la santé. L’objectif de l’étude était de décrire les comportements alimentaires d’une population d’immigrés enquêtés lors de leur passage à l’Office français de l’immigration et de l’Intégration (OFII), et d’étudier les relations entre ces consommations et la durée de résidence en France. Méthodes – Les immigrés se rendaient à l’OFII afin de signer un contrat d’accueil et d’intégration (CAI). L’étude était proposée par l’enquêteur à ceux maitrisant le français oral et écrit. Les participants recevaient un court questionnaire, renseignant les fréquences de consommations pour 11 groupes d’aliments. Afin d’étudier les relations entre ces consommations et la durée de résidence, des analyses ajustées sur les caractéristiques sociodémographiques ont été réalisées. Résultats – L’échantillon d’étude se composait de 723 participants. Parmi eux, 33,4% consommaient au moins cinq fruits et légumes par jour. Seuls 13,3% consommaient trois produits laitiers quotidiennement. Par ailleurs, 66,3% consommaient au moins deux fois par semaine des produits issus de la pêche. Plus d’un quart (28,0%) consommait des boissons sucrées quotidiennement, et la moitié des produits sucrés (48,7%) ou gras et salés (47,0%) tous les jours. Il n’y avait aucune association statistiquement significative entre consommations par groupe d’aliments et durée de résidence en France. Conclusion – Les consommations alimentaires de la population immigrée présentent quelques spécificités en comparaison de celles de la population générale, nécessitant des messages de prévention adaptés
