Sex-related differences in dietary phytochemical intake in the population of primary school children in urban setting
Although there are no official recommendations for the intake of phytochemicals, the study suggests that children have a low intake of all four main classes of phytochemicals compared to existing data for both children and adults. To improve the intake of phytochemicals, it is necessary to promote the consumption of foods rich in phytochemicals and increase dietary diversity both at home and at school.
