Clusters of lifestyle behaviours and their associations with socio-demographic characteristics in Dutch toddlers.
Article in European journal of nutrition, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThis study aimed to identify clusters of lifestyle behaviours in toddlers and assess associations with socio-demographic characteristics.
methodsWe used data from the Dutch National Food Consumption Survey 2012-2016 and included 646 children aged 1-3 years. Based on 24-h dietary recalls and a questionnaire, a two-step cluster analysis was conducted to identify clusters in the intake of fruit, vegetables, sugar-sweetened beverages and unhealthy snacks, physical activity and screen time. Logistic regression models assessed associations between socio-demographic characteristics and cluster allocation.
resultsThree clusters emerged from the data. The 'relatively healthy cluster' demonstrated a high intake of fruit and vegetables, low sugar-sweetened beverage and unhealthy snack intake and low screen time. The 'active snacking cluster' was characterised by high unhealthy snack intake and high physical activity, and the 'sedentary sweet beverage cluster' by high intake of sugar-sweetened beverages and high screen time. Children aged 1 year were most likely to be allocated to the 'relatively healthy cluster'. Compared to children of parents with a high education level, children of parents with a low or middle education level were less likely to be in the 'relatively healthy cluster', but more likely to be in the 'sedentary sweet beverage cluster'.
conclusionClusters of lifestyle behaviours can be distinguished already in children aged 1-3 years. To promote healthy lifestyle behaviour, efforts may focus on maintaining healthy behaviour in 1-year-olds and more on switching towards healthy behaviour in 2- and 3-year-olds.
