Growing Up In Scotland: Sweep 3 Food and Activity Report
This report uses data from the Growing Up In Scotland (GUS) study to explore the prevalence of, and many issues related to, food and physical activity in Scotland specifically in relation to young children.
Main points from the report in respect to food and health are:
- Children from the lowest income group and living in deprived areas were less likely to eat four or more types of fruit and vegetables per day, and more likely to eat sugary snacks and drinks, than the children from affluent backgrounds.
- Mothers in the highest income bracket knew more about healthy eating, compared to the mothers in the lowest income bracket.
- The cost of food had an effect on what food parents provided for their child when compared against the top income group and the least deprived areas.
