Whole grain intake and its association with intakes of other foods, nutrients and markers of health in the National Diet and Nutrition Survey rolling programme 2008-11.
TL;DR: Nutrient intakes in consumers compared with non-consumers were closer to dietary reference values, such as higher intakes of fibre, Mg and Fe, and lower intakes of Na, suggesting that higher intake of whole grain is associated with improved diet quality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Laura Basterfield,Lauren A. Gardner,Jessica K. Reilly,Mark S. Pearce,Kathryn N. Parkinson,Ashley J. Adamson,John J. Reilly,Stewart A. Vella +7 more
TL;DR: Perceived barriers to sports participation change rapidly in childhood and adolescence and future interventions aiming to increase sports participation in children and adolescents should target specific age groups, consider the rapid changes which occur in adolescence, and aim to address prominent barriers from across the socioecological model.
