This paper aims to describe children\u2019s dietary pattern at baseline through a 24-h food recall, the SmartKidsDiet24.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Overall, 89 participants recorded at least one meal of the 3-day food recall. Mean age was 36.22 \u00b1 6.05 years and 53.09 \u00b1 15.42 months old for parents and children, respectively. Of these, 22 participants were considered to have 2 days of near complete 24-h food recalls. Children\u2019s dietary intake are reported for these 22 participants based on parents reports and, thus, represent estimations only, as it remains unknown whether children consumed other non-reported foods.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fruit was the group with the highest daily intake among children (mean 1.77 \u00b1 1.10 portions\/day), followed by added sugar foods (mean 1.48 \u00b1 0.89 portions\/day), vegetables [median 1.27 (1.64) portions\/day] and legumes [median 0.12 (0.39) portions\/day]. Fruit intake was positively correlated with vegetable intake (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.008). Regarding Dietary Reference Values accomplishment, 13.6% of children exceeded the daily safe and adequate intake of sodium, 77.3% did not meet potassium and fiber recommendations, and 31.8% did not meet vitamin C recommendations.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>All children did not meet calcium, vitamin B12 and vitamin D intake recommendations. Our findings further justify the need for dietary interventions in this field, to improve young children\u2019s diets.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Clinical trial registration<\/jats:title><jats:p><jats:ext-link>ClinicalTrials.gov<\/jats:ext-link>, identifier NCT04591496.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fnut.2023.1150627","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,29]],"date-time":"2023-03-29T05:07:01Z","timestamp":1680066421000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Intake of added sugar, fruits, vegetables, and legumes of Portuguese preschool children: Baseline data from SmartFeeding4Kids randomized controlled trial participants"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Sofia","family":"Charneca","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Ana Isabel","family":"Gomes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Diogo","family":"Branco","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Tiago","family":"Guerreiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Lu\u00edsa","family":"Barros","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Joana","family":"Sousa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"473","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(02)09678-2","article-title":"Childhood obesity: public-health crisis, common sense cure.","volume":"360","author":"Ebbiling","year":"2002","journal-title":"Lancet."},{"key":"B2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2333794X19891305","article-title":"Childhood and adolescent obesity in the united states: a public health concern.","volume":"6","author":"Sanyaolu","year":"2019","journal-title":"Glob Pediatr Health."},{"key":"B3","year":"2019","journal-title":"The State of the World\u2019s Children 2019.
