Diet and Nutrition Survey of Infants and Young Children in Scotland, 2011

Comparisons of dietary data to the UK report

There were no statistically significant differences in intakes of energy and non-milk extrinsic sugars (NMES), and key vitamins and minerals between DNSIYCS and the UK sample, with the exception of vitamin C intake, which was significantly lower for children aged 12 to 18 months in Scotland when compared to the UK. Comparisons for intakes of protein, fat, carbohydrate, other sugars, non-starch polysaccharides and other micronutrients, were not tested for significance, but appeared similar between Scotland and the UK.
