ABSTRACT
PIP: The authors investigated the probability of inadequacy of schoolchild nutrient intakes in order to compare the predicted adequacy of schoolchild diets to previously published data for toddler diets, and to examine the relative adequacy of the diets of sibling pairs. Food consumption data were measured two days per month for approximately one year for 285 children aged 7-9 years and 255 infants aged 18-30 months, including 94 sibling pairs, in villages in Egypt, Kenya, and Mexico. Mean nutrient intakes were calculated and compared to international standards using a probability approach. Within a country, there was close similarity between the nutrients predicted to be inadequate in schoolchild and toddler diets across all nutrients except vitamin B(12), D, E, and A. For 94 toddler-schoolchild pairs, siblings at high risk of nutrient inadequacy could be identified from an indicator child with a sensitivity of 43-100% and a specificity of 59-100%. Nutritional interventions which target the household have a high probability of benefiting multiple age groups of children.
