  abstract = {{U}nder-reporting ({UR}) of food intake is an issue of concern, as it may distort the relationships studied between diet and health. {T}his topic has been scarcely addressed in children. {T}he objective of the study was to assess the extent of {UR} in {F}rench children and investigate associated covariates. {A} total of 1455 children aged 3-17 years were taken from the nationally representative cross-sectional {F}rench etude {I}ndividuelle {N}ationale des {C}onsommations {A}limentaires ({INCA}2) dietary survey (2006-7). {F}ood intake was reported in a 7d diet record. {S}ocio-economic status, sedentary behaviour, weight perception variables and food habits were collected by questionnaires. {W}eight and height were measured. {U}nder-reporters were identified according to the {G}oldberg criterion adapted to children. {M}ultivariate logistic regressions investigated the associations between {UR} and covariates. {R}ates of under-reporters were 4.9 and 26.0% in children aged 3-10 and 11-17 years, respectively ({P} < 0.0001), without significant differences between boys and girls. {O}verall, {UR} was positively associated with a lower socio-economic status, overweight, skipping breakfast and dinner, a higher contribution of proteins to energy intake ({EI}), and a lower contribution of simple carbohydrates to {EI}. {U}nder-reporters aged 3-10 years also had a higher sedentary behaviour and a lower snack-eating frequency. {I}n adolescents, {UR} was also associated with a less-frequent school canteen attendance, a perception of being overweight, a wish to weigh less, and current and past restrictive diets. {I}n conclusion, under-reporters differ from plausible reporters in several characteristics related to diet, lifestyle, weight status and socio-economic status. {T}herefore, it is important to consider this differential {UR} bias when investigating diet-disease associations in children.},
