| Gaia: | Socioeconomic factors (SEF) can exert a great impact on food choices. However, limited
data are available from the Spanish population. Our aim was to describe the influence of place
of residence and habitat size on food group intakes. Data were obtained from the ANIBES study.
A 3-day dietary record provided information on food and beverage consumption. Data analysis
compared gender, age, Nielsen geographic areas, and habitat population size (urban, semi-urban,
and rural). Place of residence did not appear to be a determinant for specific food group consumption
during childhood and adolescence, as only higher intakes of non-alcoholic beverages were observed
among children aged 9 to 12 years living in the East, when compared to those from the Northwest
of Spain (p < 0.05).
