摘要

The publication is the second in a series reporting results from the 1986 Continuing Survey of Food Intakes by Individuals conducted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. One-day food and nutrient intake data for low-income women 19 to 50 years of age and their children 1 to 5 years of age collected in the spring of 1986 are compared with data collected in a similar manner for individuals of the same ages in the spring of 1985. The data were collected using a 1-day recall in a personal interview. The data are provided for Food Stamp Program participants and nonpartipants, and major results are summarized. Food intakes are aggregated in 60 food groups and subgroups and are tabulated for children in age groups 1 to 3, 4 to 5, and 1 to 5 years and for women in age groups 19 to 34, 35 to 50, and 19 to 50 years. Mean quantities of foods eaten per individual per day and percentages of individuals who reported eating any food from the specified food groups and subgroups are presented. Tables of the mean intakes of food energy and nutrients and comparisons of intakes with the 1980 Recommended Dietary Allowances are provided for individuals in households classified by income, race, and location (urbanization and region). Also presented are tables of the nutrient densities of diets (intakes of nutrients per 1,000 kilocalories); the percentages of total food energy from protein, fat, and carbohydrate, the frequency of eating; and the nutrient contributions of snacks and of food eaten away from home. Other factors related to nutrient intakes are included, such the percentages of individuals following special diets or using vitamin and mineral supplements. Characteristics of the sample are included.
