“…compared with a typical Western diet, the intake of energy and the absolute intakes of fat and carbohydrates are much higher in rural as well as urban Cameroon (Ocke Â et al, 1997;Bohlscheid-Thomas et al, 1997;Bingham et al, 1997;Riboli et al, 1997;Norris et al, 1997). Also the energy percentage of fat is higher than that in a Western diet, while that of protein is lower (Bohlscheid-Thomas et al, 1997;Bingham et al, 1997;Riboli et al, 1997;Norris et al, 1997). However, several decades ago, when nutrition campaigns had not yet focused on lowering the total fat intake, the energy percentage of fat was similar to that seen in Cameroon nowadays (Stephen & Wald, 1990).…”

Objective: To evaluate the habitual diet of a rural and urban population in Cameroon, Central Africa. Setting: An urban areaÐCite Â Verte Housing District, Yaounde Â (1058 subjects); and a rural areaÐthree villages in Evodoula, Cameroon (746 subjects). Subjects: Cameroonian men and women of African origin (1058 urban, and 746 rural), aged 24±74 y. Methods: The habitual diet was estimated with an interviewer-administered food frequency questionnaire. Main outcome measures: Macro-and micronutrient intake. Results: The intake of energy, fat and alcohol was higher in rural men and women than in urban subjects. In rural women, the intake of carbohydrates and protein was also higher. The intakes of ®bre, iron, carotene, zinc, potassium, and of the vitamins C, D and E were all higher in rural men and women than in their urban counterparts. The intake of retinol was lower in rural subjects than in urban subjects. Eight of the 10 foods eaten in the highest amount and contributing most to energy intake differed between the rural and urban population. Conclusion: The habitual diet in rural Cameroon contains more fat and alcohol than the diet in urban Cameroon. The high physical activity in the rural area may explain the lower levels of the cardiovascular risk factors in this area compared to those of the urban dwellers.

“…A recent study (43) of more than 20,000 adults provides data which show that, despite attempts to promote increased consumption of dairy foods, the calcium intake of the U.S. population decreased by 5.1% between 1987 and 1992. Thus, we are unlikely to achieve intakes that approach the 1997 DRIs without food fortification.…”

A reduction in sources of environmental lead exposure has resulted in substantial declines in mean blood lead concentrations of all age groups -in the United State. However, some segments Of the population continue to have unacceptable levels of lead exposure and elevaWd blood lead concenations. In addition, virtually all residents of industrialized countries have bone lead stores that are sveral orders of magnitude ater than those of our preindu ancestors.Re cen nstudiessuge that these skeetal led stores adv ely ect health and can contribute to reduced birth weights, agive behavior in children, and anemia, hypertension, and kidney disease in adults. Evidence is decribed tht demonstrates that an increase in dietary calcium consumption can reduce lead absorption and toxicity from cxogenous and endogenous lead exposure. A tly p and effectiw way to reduce the substial morbidity that will result firm widespread lead exposure is by ftificton of a vriety of fiods with low levels of calcium. This approac can complement other efforts to prewent lead exposure and reduce lead toxicity.

“…Mean energy consumption of our good and under-reporters were 2,104 ± 215 and 2,086 ± 151 kcal, respectively, while the NHANES reference population of African-American men with a mean age of 64.5 yrs was 1,882 ± 94 kcal (23). Shimakawa et al (24) reported a mean intake of 1,731 ± 663 kcal in 1,567 AfricanAmerican men with a mean age of 54 yrs and Norris et al (25) reported a mean of 2,026 ± 140 kcal in 159 men with a mean age of 56 yrs. Even our under-reporters were able to report more of their food intake compared to comparable populations of African-American men.…”

This study sought to determine changes in self-selected diets in response to a high energy tomato pasta entrée. Thirty men, mostly African-American, who were diagnosed with prostate cancer and also scheduled for prostatectomy were enrolled in the study. Dietary intakes were obtained by 24 hr diet recall for 3 days before the intervention and 3 days in week 2 during the intervention. Tomato pasta entrees were formulated to contain 30 mg of lycopene with roughly the same macronutrient composition and averaged 771 kcal/entrée. Mean adherence to lycopene dose was 82% and, days when the entrée was consumed, the mean adherence to lycopen was 90%. Lycopene intake in their self-selected diet decreased from 5 to 1 mg/day which lowered the exposure to lycopene, planned during the intervention. The men were able to decompensate for most of the added energy to their diet, but there was still a mean increase in total intake of 242 kcal/day (p=0.04), which did not result in weight gain over the short period of the study. There were no significant changes in the percent of energy from protein, fat or carbohydrates, but dietary cholesterol increased from 341 to 472 mg/day (p=0.0002). Mean intakes of vitamins A and C, and folate were not significantly different and were above the EAR. Vitamin E intake decreased, but, because of the variance in intake, the decrease was not statistically significant. Possible deterioration of diet quality should be a consideration when recommending whole food interventions for the prevention of chronic disease or the amelioration of physiological dysfunction.
