“…Comparing of the present study with that by Morimoto et al 25 who analyzed the food intake of young women from the state of São Paulo, women aged 19-30 years from both studies presented very similar inadequate zinc, niacin, and riboflavin intakes. On the other hand, the present study women presented higher thiamin and vitamin C intake inadequacies.…”

“…The study children aged 1-3 years presented a high percent risk of inadequate thiamin and niacin intakes, which can be explained by the poor quality of the complementary foods, the dietary monotony, and the high grain intake, especially white rice, from which vitamins are partially removed during polishing, in detriment of meat and vegetables intakes, especially non-starchy vegetables, important sources of these vitamins 25 . These data corroborate Garcia et al 26 who identified that thiamin and niacin were among the most limiting nutrients in the nutritional density of complementary foods given to children aged less than two years, exposing them to unbalanced energy metabolism.…”

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the food intake of sugarcane workers' family members. METHODS: The food intake of 159 family members of sugarcane workers from Gameleira, Pernambuco, Brazilian Northeast, was investigated by directly weighing the foods on three non-consecutive days. The percent risk of inadequate macro- and micronutrient intakes was analyzed according to the Reference Dietary Intakes. The macronutrients were analyzed in relation to acceptable distribution intervals. The energy consumed from the various food groups was expressed as a ratio of the total energy intake. RESULTS: The median intake of carbohydrates and proteins remained above the Estimated Average Requirement, and all age groups presented a low risk of inadequate carbohydrate and protein intakes. The median intakes of riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, and iron remained above the Estimated Average Requirement for all age groups, but children aged 1-3 years presented a high percent risk of inadequate iron intake. All age groups presented high percent risk of inadequate zinc, calcium, vitamin A, and vitamin C intakes. Grains and derivatives had a greater participation in the total energy intake, especially in men aged 19-30 years. The group "milk and dairy products" had a greater participation in the diet of children aged 1-3 years. CONCLUSION: The low percent risk of inadequate carbohydrate and protein intakes in all age groups was opposed to the high risk of inadequate mineral and vitamin intakes, making the population vulnerable to nutritional disorders caused by excess macronutrient intake and inadequate micronutrient intake.

“…Other studies conducted on students around the world pointed out micronutrient and macronutrient deficiencies in students' diets (14,15) as well as inappropriate food group patterns in the meals they received (16,17). Due consideration of the BMI variables, the foodstuffs received, as well as physical activity in the research conducted on students' nutrition reveals inadequacies in their nutrition (18)(19)(20)(21).…”

Background and purpose: Sufficient nutrition is the appropriate proportions of food required for physical development and maintenance as well as supplying energy to the body. This study aimed at assessing the nutritional status and its related factors among Iranian University Students. Materials and Methods: As a cross-sectional research, the present study was conducted with the participation of 1031 students in Shahroud, Iran. The relevant information was obtained through a 24-hour diet recall questionnaire. Also, the anthropometric measurements were taken for these students. Results: The students' mean BMI and energy intakes were 22.01±3.57 and 1974±750.35Kcal, respectively. Majority of the students (73.91%) were of normal Body Mass Index (BMI), but some cases of malnutrition including both underweight and overweight were also observed among the students. The findings showed that the mean daily intakes of fiber, phosphorous, calcium, iron, vitamins A, B6, and B12 were less than the RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowances) values. Hence, a significant relationship was observed between BMI and food consumption at each meal, type of snack, eating breakfast, number of snacks taken per day, speed of food consumption, adding butter or oil to the prepared food, the duration of daily activities, working with computer, and watching television (p<0.001). Conclusion:The results obtained through the methods of nutritional status revealed that due to BMI categories, some cases of malnutrition including both underweight and overweight were observed among the studied students. Examining the consumed food indicated qualitative and quantitative deficiencies as compared with standard recommendations, so that students were affected by hidden hunger resulting from micronutrients deficiency.

“…Thus, Knowledge of how many individuals have intakes more or less than a given criteria has relevance for planning health care for establishing theories on diet and health interrelationship [9] . Nutrition -related chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer and obesity have become epidemic worldwide and in Jordan [10] .…”

Problem Statement: Vitamin A Deficiency (VAD) remains widespread in many countries including Jordan, mainly due to inadequate dietary intake of vitamin A and carotenoids. Approach: Few researches on carotenoid content in vegetables and fruits are carried out. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the dietary intake of selected common foods among a sample of adult Jordanians, by using Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) and to analyze the carotenoid contents in selected vegetable foods by using UV spectrophotometry . Results: Among the total sample of 200 adults men and women, the consumption per person per week of rice was 21.1 serving, olive oil 20.9 serving, fresh carrot 13.6 serving, tomato 8.28 serving, mint 6.63 serving, chickpea 5.07 serving and parsley 5.03 serving. The total carotenoid contents were found in high concentrations in mint 25.2 mg 100 g −1 , parsley 21.8 mg 100g −1 , mallow 12.6 mg 100 g −1 and carrot 8.79 mg 100g −1 . Zucchini, okra, tomato and green beans also contained appreciable amounts of carotenoids 3.38, 2.54, 2.19 and 1.97 mg 100 g −1 , respectively. Eggplant had the lowest content of carotenoids 0.48 mg 100g −1 . Conclusions: These finding could help the meal planning at a community level by including such high content of carotenoid vegetables in meals, which will lead to decrease the incidence of vitamin A deficiency disease. Further studies in this concern is highly recommended to solve such problem worldwide .
