Low dairy intake

noted in Irish teens

Although 98% of Irish adolescents consume dairy,

a recent report from the Irish Universities Nutrition

Alliance (IUNA) has revealed that only 4% meet the

recommendations set out by the Department of

Health’s dietary guidelines.

On average, teenagers were found to consume

just under two servings of dairy per day. However, the

guidelines suggest five daily servings from the “milk,

yogurt and cheese” food group for those aged 9-18

years, due to higher calcium requirements during the

teenage years, with three servings recommended for

other age groups.

Lead researcher on the study, Dr Breige McNulty

from University College Dublin, said: “Consuming

enough calcium and vitamin D during the teenage years

is critical in helping our bodies to build strong bones

for life. We were particularly concerned to see such

high levels of inadequate intakes of these key bone

nutrients. These nutrients are particularly important as

we lay down our bone mass, with vitamin D needed to

absorb calcium. It is important that teenagers consume

a healthy, balanced diet to support this rapid phase of

growth and development.”

The IUNA National Teens’ Nutrition Survey assessed

food and nutrient intakes in 428 teenagers aged 13-

18 years across the Republic of Ireland. A sub-study

was commissioned by the National Dairy Council to

further explore the contribution of the “milk, yogurt and

cheese” food group to the nutritional quality of Irish

teenagers’ diets.
