Poster Session: Wellness and Public Health Binge Eating and Binge Drinking Behaviors and Risks among Triathletes Author(s): D.F. Vanata, B.S. Cerrmak; Health Sciences, Ashland Univ., Ashland, OH Learning Outcome: Participants will recognize risk factors for binge eating and binge drinking among triathletes. Demanding work schedules combined with intensive training regimens may place triathletes at risk for bingeing behaviors related to eating and drinking. The objective of this study was to assess the risks of binge eating and binge drinking among a sample of triathletes (n¼326, M age¼ 42.2, 59.8% males) and determine whether these habits were different during or off-season. Participants were members of the Triathlon Research Organization and completed a web-based questionnaire that included the 16-item Binge Eating Scale (BES). Results indicated that for both in and off season, BES scores were positively associated with a triathlete’s body mass index (BMI), as well as their hours of work weekly (r¼.279, p<.0001 and r¼.1404, p¼0.012, respectively). Females indicated that they did not feel in control before binge eating (p0.002) and were significantly more likely to have mild, moderate and serious Binge Eating Risks off season; while males were significantly more likely to have no Binge Eating Risks in and off season (p¼0.016). Additionally, younger triathletes were at significantly increased risk for binge eating and binge drinking than older triathletes (p¼.038). These findings suggest that triathletes are at greater risk for in season binge eating and off season binge drinking. Treatment and educational efforts, targeting bingeing behaviors, by healthcare professionals may wish to focus on younger, female, athletes with high work hours and greater BMIs.

Did Prior Participation in the Food Dudes Program Help Children Eat More Fruits and Vegetables Under the New NSLP Standards? Author(s): J. Fox, H. Wengreen, G. Madden, S. Aguilar; Utah State Univ., Logan, UT Learning Outcome: Participants will be able to describe fruit and vegetable intake of children prior to and after the implementation of the new NSLP guidelines in 2012. Objective: To assess FV intake of children before and after the new standards for school meals were implemented (fall 2012) in schools that were participating in a randomized intervention designed to increase FV intake. Study design: Participants were 928 children in grades 1-5 at two elementary schools that participated in a FV intervention study (Food Dudes) in 2011-2012; one school served as a control. FV intake was assessed on three consecutive days in fall of 2011 and again in fall of 2012 and spring of 2013. Outcome measures: FV intake was assessed using digital observation of FV selected and discarded at lunch. Results: The average amount of FV consumed per day during fall of 2011 was 0.35 cups (SD 0.31). GLM repeated measures analysis was used to assess differences in total FV consumption by condition over time (fall 2011 to fall 2012 and fall 2012 to spring 2013). Average FV consumption decreased from fall 2011 to fall 2012 in the control school, yet increased in the intervention school (p<0.001). From fall 2012 to spring 2013, consumption continued to increase in the intervention school and remained stable in the control school (p<0.001). Impact: Children’s response to the new nutrition standards was more favorable among children who had previously received an intervention that increased the variety and amount of FV that children were consuming at school. Additional measures may be needed to encourage children to consume the amount and variety of FV now being served in schools following NSLP standards.

Learning Outcome: Several grain food pattern intakes in adults can be associated with improved nutrient intakes and diet quality.
Learning Outcome: Participants will be able to describe differences in the dietary intakes of 2-5 year old US children who skip or consume breakfast.
The purpose of this study was to identify commonly consumed grain patterns in US adults (19 years-old) and compare nutrient intakes and diet quality of subjects in various grain consumption patterns to those not consuming grains. Data were obtained from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES; 2005-2010) and cluster analyses were used to isolate eight grain patterns. The patterns identified were bread/rolls, quick breads, cereals, pasta/cooked cereals/rice, crackers/salty snacks, cakes/cookies/pies, mixed grains and no grains. In males (N¼7,272) consuming pasta/cooked cereals/rice, added sugar intake was lower in comparison to the no grains group (19.60.8 vs. 22.71.3 tsp eq; p¼0.0028). Females (N¼7,112) consuming pasta/cooked cereals/rice, crackers/salty snacks, yeast breads/rolls, quick breads and a mixture of grain foods also had significantly lower added sugar intake relative to the no grains pattern (13.10.5, 15.00.6, 14.90.5, 13.80.4 vs. 17.50.7 tsp eq; p<0.02). Males and females consuming cakes/cookies/pies had greater added sugar relative to no grains (30.41.7 vs. 22.71.3 and 19.60.6 vs.17.50.7, respectively; p<0.006). Several grain patterns resulted in significantly less saturated fat (-1.9 to -6.3 g/d), and greater dietary fiber (1.2 to 5.1 g/d) in both genders. Adults consuming pasta/cooked cereals/rice had a significantly higher diet quality than those in the no grain food pattern (males: 53.80.8 vs. 46.80.9; females: 54.90.8 vs. 47.01.0; p<0.0001). Males consuming mixed grains, but not females, had a lower body weight versus no grains (88.20.7 vs. 92.11.8 kg; p<0.028). A variety of grain food pattern intake in adults was associated with improved nutrient intakes and diet quality.
Background: The importance of breakfast for children’s growth and development is documented, yet the proportion of children skipping breakfast and the nutritional impact on daily intake remains an issue. The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in children’s total nutrient intake and consumption from non-breakfast meals and snacks in children who consumed breakfast versus those who did not.

Methods: Nutrient and MyPlate intakes were computed for 2-5 year old children (n¼4,199) from one 24-hr dietary recall using the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2001-2010. Children were classified as breakfast skippers if they did not report any foods at a breakfast eating occasion. Diet quality was measured using the 2010 Healthy Eating Index (HEI). Results: Children who skipped breakfast had significantly lower total energy intakes (1412 vs 1606 kcals) despite consuming more energy during nonbreakfast meals and snacks. Children who skipped breakfast obtained 557 kcals of the 1412 kcals for the day from snacks, with 140 kcals from snacks as added sugars. Fiber, folate, iron and calcium intake was lower in children who skipped breakfast and the remaining meals did not compensate for those nutrients. Children who ate breakfast had significantly higher total HEI scores (48.1 vs 41.9), as well as better fruit, whole fruit, whole grains, dairy and empty calorie scores. Conclusion: Children who skipped breakfast had lower intakes of essential nutrients, less healthy snacking patterns, and overall lower diet quality. Dietetic professionals should encourage children’s consumption of a nutritious breakfast to support overall diet quality. Funding Disclosure: Research Funding supported by Abbott Nutrition
