TL;DR: The estimated mean per capita daily intake of each element among Nigerians was calculated and compared with the FAO values of recommended daily allowance and suggests reasons for observed deficiencies of some of the elements in spite of their high levels of intake.

TL;DR: It is suggested that dietary iron intakes of preschoolers continue to be affected by economic factors and that food transfer and/or educational interventions may be useful in improving these intakes.

TL;DR: Overall nutrient intakes were at a slightly lower level than those described previously, and changes in recreational activity level and influences of climate may also be important factors affecting food energy and nutrient intake at this age.
Abstract: A study of the usual nutrient intake of a sample of 183 healthy 4 year olds is reported. These children have been the subject of a longitudinal study from birth. Data include daily intakes of food energy, protein, fat, carbohydrate, fibre, minerals, and vitamins. Minor differences in nutrient intake were present between the sexes. Overall nutrient intakes were at a slightly lower level than those described previously. The methodological considerations of such a community nutrition study are discussed, including the intrinsic sources of error which may have contributed to the observed differences. Changes in recreational activity level and influences of climate may also be important factors affecting food energy and nutrient intake at this age.

TL;DR: The food energy, macro‐, and micronutrient intake of 78 boys and 63 girls aged 8 years who have been studied since birth is reported.
Abstract: The food energy, macro-, and micronutrient intake of 78 boys and 63 girls aged 8 years who have been studied since birth is reported. Nutrient intake was calculated from 4 day weighed records using the CSIRONET data bank based on British tables of food composition.
The mean values for daily intake for girls and boys, respectively, for energy (MJ), protein, fat, carbohydrate and fibre (g) were 7.4 and 6.5; 64 and 57; 71 and 62; 232 and 206; and 15 and 12 g.
Half trie food energy came from carbohydrate, divided equally between starch and simple sugars, 15% from protein, and 35% from fat. This comprised 41 % saturated (S), 33% mono- and 16% polyunsaturated (P). The mean P: S ratio for girls was 0.46, and 0.41 for boys. Overall sweets and soft drinks contributed 4–5% to energy intake, with large individual differences. Mineral and vitamin intakes were satisfactory in relation to theoretical optimal population needs. Vitamin and/or mineral supplements were taken by 8.5% of the sample. These results are discussed in relation to the Nutritional Guidelines.

TL;DR: The present study results suggested that rural female elderly people would be under optimal nutriture status due to the lower food intake measured by 24-hour recall, and the optimal food frequency method would be considered to be developed for the precise nutrient assessment.
Abstract: Precise and correct assessment of nutrient intake using appropriate dietary intake method is necessary to improve the nutritional status of the target people group. It is more likely so in elderly people since their dietary habits and inadequate nutrient intakes are of special concern even worse in rural areas. Two popular methods of gathering dietary intake are 24-hour recall and food frequency method (or food frequency questionnaire). In the present study, we conducted both 24-hour recall and food frequency method on 120 rural elderly people (aged 65~74 years), 62 male and 58 female. The dietary intakes were analyzed and the correlation of the dietary intake between 24-hour recall and food frequency method to determine the reliability between two methods. Also each nutrient intake was compared to recommended dietary allowance (RDA) or nutrient reference value (NRV) as appropriate. Even correlation did not show significance between the two methods except for dietary fiber intake (0.65 at p＜0.01) and energy-yielding nutrients which mostly showed similar results with nutrient intake level. These support the possible reliability between 24-hours record and food frequency method that is also shown on the cases of most mineral and vitamin intakes. Thus, the food frequency method used in this study for the assessment of nutrient intakes of the elderly people would be reliable for the assessment of the nutrient intake along with the 24-hour recall. Also, the present study results suggested that rural female elderly people would be under optimal nutriture status due to the lower food intake measured by 24-hour recall. The optimal food frequency method would be considered to be developed for the precise nutrient assessment.
