Flemish preschoolers can be an important target for
modifying the risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in
later life [3]. When comparing the food group intakes
among preschoolers in Flanders with the Flemish FBDG
(Table 1), we found that for almost all food groups
more than half of the children did not reach the minimum
recommendations. However, the consumption of
meat products and sugar and fat-rich products like soft
drinks and biscuits exceeded the upper levels of the
recommendations [4].
