TL;DR: Dietary and supplemental intakes were assessed from 3-day food records collected from 270 free-living, middle income and healthy men and women over 60 yr of age residing in the Albuquerque, NM vicinity and the 1980 Recommended Dietary Allowances were used to assess adequacy of intake.

TL;DR: A study of the nutritional intake and hematological parameters in 52 middle-distance and distance runners at Simon Fraser University showed that the mean energy intake was 3,020 kcal a day for men and 2,026 kcal aday for women.
Abstract: In brief This study of the nutritional intake and hematological parameters in 52 middle-distance and distance runners at Simon Fraser University showed that the mean energy intake was 3,020 kcal a day for men and 2,026 kcal a day for women. The women's mean iron intake was 12.5 mg a day, which is below the recommended daily intake of 14 mg a day. The men's intake was adequate at 18.5 mg a day. Although mean hemoglobin levels were 14.8 gm/100 ml for men and 13.3 gm/100 ml for women, 29% of the men and 82% of the women had plasma ferritin concentrations at risk for iron deficiency.

TL;DR: The nutritional difficulties discovered could be corrected by careful planning of vegetarian children's diets while preserving the beneficial qualities of the diet in other respects.

TL;DR: The energy content of the diets, except for the first month, was less than the recommended daily intake (RDI), however, the infants were growing at normal rates, suggesting that the RDI is high.

TL;DR: The dietary recommendations of FAO/WHO and of the various European nations differ in several ways and the ranges of recommended values are sometimes very wide, but all seem acceptable from the nutritional point of view.

TL;DR: Anthropometric measurement showed that the Buddhist nuns had significantly higher values than the students in body weight, skinfold thickness, body surface area, and obesity index.
Abstract: A nutritional survey was made in 45 healthy Buddhist nuns (age : 20-34 yr) who have been vegetarians for more than 5 years and 20 female college students (aga : 20-22 yr) as a control group in Kyungpook province. Daily calorie intake of the Buddhist nuns and students were 1947 and 1815 kcal, respectively. The ratio of percent calorie of carbohydrate : fat : protein from total calories in the Buddhist nuns was 84 : 11 : 5 and that of the students was 70 : 15 : 15, respecting. The Buddhist nuns had significatly higher carbohydrate intake but markedly lower lipid intake than the students. Daily intakes of thiamin, niacin and ascorbic acid in the Buddhist nuns were higher, but those of iron, calcium and vitamin A were lower than the recommended daily allowances. Compared with the students, the Buddhist nuns had greater intakes of ascorbic acid, vitamin A, thiamin, niacin, and calcium. Anthropometric measurement showed that the Buddhist nuns had significantly higher values than the students in body weight, skinfold thickness, body surface area, and obesity index. There were highly significant correlations between anthropometric measurements and obesity index(0.55

TL;DR: Food preparation methods were found to differ between the populations, and day-to-day differences in food and nutrient intake were observed in both districts.
Abstract: By 4‐day weighing, food consumption was recorded for a total of 59 men, aged 50–59 years, in 2 Finnish districts: Parikkala, a rural Finnish community, and the city of Helsinki. Food intake patterns differed between these populations. More cereals and thus more carbohydrates, more milk, and more meat, eggs, and sugar were consumed by the rural population, which therefore had a higher energy intake. Alcohol consumption was higher in Helsinki. Food preparation methods were found to differ between the populations, and day‐to‐day differences in food and nutrient intake were observed in both districts.

TL;DR: The hypothesis that nutrients may not be equally distributed across meals as assumed by the definition of the seven‐day household record was tested and confirmed from individual 24‐hour recall data and was highly dependent on the meal consumed and the age of the individual.
Abstract: The Nationwide Food Consumption Survey data can be used to examine the appropriateness of the nutritional contribution of various domestic food programs. Data from the seven‐day household food records and individual 24‐hour recall showed widely disparate results and the reasons for this discrepancy were sought. The hypothesis that nutrients may not be equally distributed across meals as assumed by the definition of the seven‐day household record was tested and confirmed from individual 24‐hour recall data. The daily nutrient distribution was highly dependent on the meal consumed and the age of the individual. Approximately half of an individual's daily energy intake was being taken at the dinner meal. Intake of many of the other 14 nutrients (protein, calcium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin C, magnesium, phosphorus, niacin, thiamin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, fats and carbohydrates) was similar. Snacks accounted for approximately 7–16 percent of one's daily nutrient intake with the higher percentages ...

TL;DR: Supplements of the mineral chromium in relatively high amounts may have beneficial effects on glucose and insulin metabolism and on serum lipid levels, according to a study reported at the recent New Orleans meeting of the American Institute of Nutrition.
Abstract: Supplements of the mineral chromium in relatively high amounts may have beneficial effects on glucose and insulin metabolism and on serum lipid levels. That's the suggestion from a study reported at the recent New Orleans meeting of the American Institute of Nutrition by nutritional biochemists Marilyn Polansky, MS, and Richard Anderson, PhD.At the US Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center in Beltsville, Md, Polansky and Anderson selected 41 healthy adult volunteers for the sequential double-blind crossover study. All subjects received daily supplements of inorganic chromium salt for three months, tablets of brewer's yeast (one of the richest known sources of bioactive chromium) for three months, and placebo for three months. With the inorganic salt and the yeast, total chromium intake was 200 μg/day. The provisional recommended daily allowance is 50 to 200 μg.The investigators measured serum lipid levels and response to an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)
TL;DR: The nutritional adequacy of commercial baby foods is assessed from data derived from a longitudinal nutrition survey of 400 infants in Canada, finding that on the average, the nutrient intakes from infant food meet or exceed the recommended daily allowances for most nutrients.
Abstract: The nutritional adequacy of commercial baby foods is assessed from data derived from a longitudinal nutrition survey of 400 infants in Canada. On the average, the nutrient intakes from infant food meet or exceed the recommended daily allowances for most nutrients. Most infants would not be able to meet the minimum daily requirements for iron, B vitamins, or calcium if infant cereals were not fortified.
