Reynolds AN, Diep HT, Montez J, et al. - This study was undertaken to determine if higher fibre intakes during childhood or adolescence influence a broad range of intermediate markers of cardiometabolic risk or other health-related issues. Online searches up to January 2020 and manual searches were used to identify prospective observational studies reporting on childhood or adolescent intakes of dietary fibre, vegetables, fruit and refined or whole grains. Forty-five publications reporting on 44,354 candidates from 30 cohort studies were identified. In view of the uncertainty in the results of cohort studies other than the lack of adverse effects, it seems reasonable to extrapolate the guidelines for childhood fibre intake from relevant adult data.
