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.
