Title of project:
Dietary zinc intake in the ALSPAC cohort:
an investigation of dietary sources and growth outcomes
Proposal summary:
Aims and hypothesis
Preliminary investigations have shown that average dietary zinc intakes in the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC) cohort are below those recommended for children and this could be associated with deficits in long-term growth.
Exposure variables
The project will use the dietary data collected longitudinally from ALSPAC children from which nutrient intakes have been calculated. This will be combined with weight and height data collected at several time points throughout childhood. The project will investigate which foods and food groups contribute to zinc intakes in children age 1.5-13 years and whether this has an effect of height and body mass index at several time points throughout childhood.
