Dietary Recommendations for Children and Adolescents: A Guide for Practitioners: Consensus Statement From the American Heart Association
Circulation Endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics et al. 112: 2061

CORRECTION

In the article “Dietary Recommendations for Children and Adolescents: A Guide for Practitioners: Consensus Statement From the American Heart Association” by Gidding et al (Circulation. 2005;112:2061-2075), the following changes were not included in the version that printed in the September 27, 2005, issue:

  1. On page 2061, the footnote “This Statement will also appear in Pediatrics” has been deleted.
  2. On page 2063, in the footnotes to Table 3, footnote ‡ should read: “Milk listed is fat-free (except for children under the age of 2 years). If 1%, 2%, or whole-fat milk is substituted, this will utilize, for each cup, 19, 39, or 63 kcal of discretionary calories and add 2.6, 5.1, or 9.0 g of total fat, of which 1.3, 2.6, or 4.6 g are saturated fat.”
  3. On page 2063, in the footnotes to Table 3, footnote ¶ should read: “For 1-year-old children, calculations are based on 2% fat milk. If 2 cups of whole milk are substituted, 48 kcal of discretionary calories will be utilized. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that low-fat/reduced-fat milk not be started before 2 years of age.”
  4. On page 2064, in Figure 1, panel A represents females and panel B represents males. This information has been appended to the y-axis of each panel.
  5. On page 2067, in the second full paragraph, the first sentence should read: “The period from weaning to consumption of a mature diet, from 4 to 6 months to ≈2 years of age, represents a radical shift in pattern of food consumption (Figure 2),17,126,126a,129,130 but there has been very little research on the best methods to achieve optimal nutritional benefit during this transition.” The third sentence should read, “Transition to other sources of nutrients should begin at 4 to 6 months of age to ensure sufficient micronutrients in the diet, but the best methods for accomplishing this task are essentially unknown.15,126

These changes have been incorporated into the online version of the article.
