Total Usual Nutrient Intakes of US Children (Under 48 Months): Findings from the Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study (FITS) 2016
Given the very specific nutritional needs from birth to 24 months of age to support rapid growth and development, understanding current trends in dietary intakes is critical to best tailor dietary advice for infants and children and to support dietary guidelines update. The Feeding Infants and Toddlers Study (FITS) is a large-scale cross-sectional survey designed to explore eating patterns, nutrient intakes, and food sources of nutrients in infants and children. In this article you will be able to get more details about the estimation of total usual dietary intakes for energy and most nutrients among infants and children < 4 years old, incorporating nutrient exposures from all sources in the FITS 2016.

Prevalence and Severity of Food Allergies Among US Adults
Food allergy is a costly, potentially life-threatening health condition that can adversely affect patients’ well-being. The few population-based studies to date that examined adult food allergy have focused on a limited number of specific allergens (eg. peanut) or allergen groups (eg. tree nut, seafood) or have been secondary analyses of federal health surveys, which were not designed to comprehensively characterize food allergy prevalence and severity among US adults. This study aimed to provide comprehensive, nationally representative estimates of the distribution, severity, and factors associated with adult food allergy in the United States.
