Zusammenfassung:Objectives: To describe energy density (ED; kcal g −1 ) of dietary intake of European children. Methods: From 16 228 children who participated in the IDEFICS (Identification and prevention of Dietary- and lifestyle-induced health EFfects In Children and infantS) baseline examination, 8551 children with 24-h dietary recalls (24-HDR), with plausible reported energy intakes and complete covariate information were included in the present analysis. ED was calculated using two methods: (1) ED including solid foods (ED F ) and (2) ED including solid foods and energy-containing beverages (ED F&B ). Beverage energy was calculated in kcal per day. Dietary characteristics and body mass index (BMI) z -score of children aged 2 to
