Abstract

Background: With improved long-term health outcomes and survivorship, the long-term nutritional management of childhood cancer survivors, from diagnosis to long-term follow-up, has become a priority. The aim of this study was to examine the diet quality of children receiving treatment for cancer. Methods: Participants were parents of children with cancer who were receiving active treatment and not receiving supplementary nutrition. A 24-h dietary recall assessed food and nutrient intake. Serves of food group intakes and classification of core and discretionary items were made according to the Australian Dietary Guidelines and compared with age and sex recommendations. Results: Sixty-four parents participated (75% female). Most children were not consuming adequate intake of vegetables (94% of patients), fruit (77%), and milk/alternatives (75%). Of the vegetables that were consumed, half were classified as discretionary foods (e.g., chips/fries). Nearly half (49%) of children exceeded recommendations for total sugar intake and 65% of patients had an excessive sodium intake. Discussion: Children receiving cancer treatment are consuming diets of reasonable quantity, but poor quality. Information provided during treatment should focus on educating parents on a healthy diet for their child, the importance of establishing healthy eating habits for life, and strategies to overcome barriers to intake during treatment.

癌症患儿治疗期间饮食质量差。
背景:随着长期健康结果和生存率的提高,儿童癌症幸存者从诊断到长期随访的长期营养管理已成为一个优先事项。这项研究的目的是检查接受癌症治疗的儿童的饮食质量。方法:参与者是接受积极治疗且未接受补充营养的癌症儿童的父母。24小时饮食回顾评估了食物和营养摄入。根据澳大利亚膳食指南制定了食物组摄入量以及核心和可随意选择项目的分类,并与年龄和性别建议进行了比较。结果:64名家长参与,其中75%为女性。大多数儿童没有摄入足够的蔬菜(94%的患者)、水果(77%)和牛奶/替代品(75%)。在食用的蔬菜中,有一半被归类为可随意选择的食物(如薯片/薯条)。近一半(49%)的儿童超过了建议的总糖摄入量,65%的患者钠摄入量过量。讨论:接受癌症治疗的儿童饮食数量合理,但质量较差。治疗期间提供的信息应侧重于教育父母为其子女提供健康饮食,建立健康饮食习惯的重要性,以及克服治疗期间摄入障碍的策略。
