摘要: Background: Inadequate energy and nutrient intakes are a major nutritional problem in developing countries. A recent study Beninese school-aged children different seasons revealed high prevalence of stunting poor iron status that might be related to the food pattern. Objective: To analyse pattern resulting rural relation season school attendance. Subjects methods: The was performed northern Benin eighty randomly selected aged 6?8 years. Dietary intake assessed using observed weighed records. Food, were measured post- pre-harvest seasons. Complete consumption data sets available for seventy-five children. Results: Food showed seasonal variations. Cereals, roots tubers main staple foods. Contributions animal products diet very small. not either boys v. girls or attending school. Median daily 5?0 5?3 MJ season, respectively. Only fat vitamin C differences (P,0?05). Energy but, unexpectedly, Conclusions: Seasonal variations did result seasonality intakes. Because children?s low products, protein, fibre, absorption fat, fatsoluble vitamins, carotenoids, Fe Zn low. bioavailability from such needs further investigation.
