Some between-country differences and patterns are noteworthy.
The Belgium and Dutch children showed unfavourable patterns
with respect to soft drink and fruit juice intake and TV viewingrelated
variables. Previous publications on these study populations already showed that the Dutch children had high levels of soft
drink intake [2], which might thus be explained by those
unfavourable patterns, but this does not hold for Belgium children.
On the contrary, previous results indicated unfavourable patterns
in EBRB among Greek children, while this pattern was not found
for the personal and social environmental beliefs reported in in the
present study, except regarding breakfast intake. Few Greek
children have breakfast with their parents and few Greek parents
eat breakfast. Our previously reported finding in the ENERGY
cross sectional study [27] that breakfast skipping is a problem
among Greek primary schoolchildren and the current observation
of an unfavourable home environment is in line with a recent
publication [56]. Therefore, in the Netherlands and Belgium
special attention should be devoted to beliefs and home influences
related to soft drink and fruit juice intake, while in Greece parental
role modelling and rule setting regarding breakfast consumption
should be emphasised.
