Implication

Cross-sectional survey reveals low whole grain consumption in children and adults, indicating widespread gaps between starchy food intake and whole grain recommendations.

Key Points

To assess whole grain intake across a nationally representative sample of children, adolescents, and adults and determine its relationship with nutrient intake and weight status.
Analyzed 7-day dietary records from a representative French sample using data from the Comportements et Consommations Alimentaires en France (CCAF) 2010 survey.
Identified whole grain content across all reported foods without a minimum inclusion threshold, utilizing brand-specific declarations and packaging nutrient data.
More than 50% of participants reported consuming no whole grains; among consumers, mean intake was 9.1 g/d in children and 14.4 g/d in adults, primarily sourced from breakfast cereals and bread, respectively.
Consumers of whole grains had significantly higher daily intakes of fibre, vitamins, and minerals compared to non-consumers.
The odds ratio for overweight or obesity decreased significantly with increasing whole grain intake in adults, whereas no significant association was observed in children.
