“…Additionally, the VHLSS 2016 did not collect information on the cooking method of each food item. However, existing evidence suggests that there is no significant difference in the nutritional value between raw and cooked food items when considering dietary energy, protein, fats, carbohydrates, total fiber and calcium (Moltedo et al, 2021 ). Hence, while we are unable to account for the cooking method in our analysis due to missing information in our data source, we do not expect it to significantly bias our results.…”

The government of Viet Nam promotes an integrated and diversified production system that focuses on the symbiotic relationship of livestock, aquaculture, and fruits and vegetables (F&V), locally known as Vuon Ao Chuong (VAC). The expectation is that this system can prevent soil degradation, while improving dietary quality and income. This study examines the correlation between VAC production systems and diets using cross-sectional data from the 2016 round of the Viet Nam Household Living Standards Survey (VHLSS). Using ordinary least squares, we model four continuous outcome variables related to quantity consumed of fruits and vegetables, fiber, animal protein, and dietary energy; while using logistical regression, we model three indicator variables related to whether diets are balanced in terms of intake of dietary energy derived from carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. While individual components of VAC, such as aquaculture or F&V production, show a positive correlation with one or more dietary indicators, adoption of the full VAC system is found to be positively correlated only with dietary fiber consumption, making it challenging to establish a causal link between system adoption and improved dietary quality. However, we find that several socioeconomic variables, such as access to markets, household wealth, education of the household members, and household size are positively associated with one or more dietary indicators. Further research is needed to establish strong and causal relationships, or lack thereof, between VAC system and diets by exploiting the panel structure of VHLSS to examine the role of VAC in improving nutritional outcomes in Viet Nam.

Raw versus cooked food matching: Nutrient intake using the 2015/16 Kenya Integrated Household Budget Survey

Abstract: Highlights Dietary energy assessment does not require matching foods in cooked form. Macronutrient dietary assessment does not require matching foods in cooked form. Vitamin and mineral dietary assessment requires matching foods in cooked form.
