Abstract

Objective: To describe changes in calcium and dairy intake during the transition from middle adolescence to young adulthood and to identify baseline correlates of calcium intake in young adulthood. Design: Population-based, 5-year follow-up study (Project EAT: Eating Among Teens). Setting: Baseline surveys were completed in Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN schools and by mail at follow-up. Participants: Males and females (N = 1521) attending high school at baseline (mean age = 15.9 years) and with a mean age of 20.5 years at follow-up. Main Outcome Measures: Calcium intake. Analysis: Mixed and linear regression methods were used to respectively examine trends and correlates of intake. Results: During the transition to young adulthood, mean daily calcium intakes of females and males decreased by an average of 153 mg and 194 mg respectively. Mealtime milk availability, health/nutrition attitudes, taste preference for milk, healthful weight control behaviors, and peer support for healthful eating at baseline were associated with better follow-up calcium intake. Time spent watching television and lactose intolerance were associated with lower intake at follow-up. Conclusions and Implications: Nutrition interventions are needed to counter longitudinal decreases in calcium intake. Interventions targeted to adolescents should address the availability of milk at meals and other identified supports for healthful eating.
