背景资料：儿童和青少年时期的充足营养对促进生长和发育至关重要。目的：本研究评估了菲律宾学龄儿童和青少年通常的能量和营养摄入量。设计：食物和饮料的摄入量是从6-9岁和10-12岁的学龄儿童的全国代表性样本中收集的（分别为n = 3，594和n = 2，971）和13-18岁的青少年（n = 5，447）使用24小时饮食回忆。通常的能量和营养素摄入量的分布和摄入不足的患病率，这是定义为摄入量低于估计的平均需求或可接受的常量营养素分布范围的儿童的百分比，使用个人计算机软件摄入分布估计（PC-SIDE）程序进行估计。结果表明，平均能量摄入量比估计的能量需要量低19-35%。大多数常量和微量营养素摄入不足的发生率很高。不足的患病率如下：蛋白质12- 47%，总脂肪（以能量百分比计）38- 52%、钙92- 94%、铁75- 90%、维生素C 68- 96%、叶酸61- 93%、维生素A 58- 81%、核黄素58- 91%、硫胺素27- 75%和磷18- 91%。总体而言，青少年和学童，特别是来自贫困家庭和农村地区的青少年和学童，关键营养素不足的患病率相对较高。这项研究表明，菲律宾学龄儿童和青少年的营养摄入量严重不足，特别是在穷人和农村地区。
Background: Adequate nutrition during childhood and adolescence is essential to promote growth and development.Objective: This study evaluated usual energy and nutrient intakes of Filipino schoolchildren and adolescents.Design: Food and beverage intakes were collected from a nationally representative sample of schoolchildren aged 6-9 and 10-12 years (n = 3,594 and n = 2,971, respectively) and adolescents aged 13-18 years (n = 5,447) using 24-h dietary recalls. The distributions of usual energy and nutrient intakes and the prevalence of inadequate intakes, which is defined as the percent of children with intakes less than estimated average requirements or acceptable macronutrient distribution ranges, were estimated using the Personal Computer Software for Intake Distribution Estimation (PC-SIDE) program.Results: The results showed that the mean energy intakes were 19-35% lower than estimated energy requirement. High prevalence of inadequate intakes was found for most macro- and micronutrients. Prevalence of inadequacies was as follows: protein 12-47%, total fat (as percentage of energy) 38-52%, calcium 92-94%, iron 75-90%, vitamin C 68-96%, folate 61-93%, vitamin A 58-81%, riboflavin 58-91%, thiamin 27-75%, and phosphorus 18-91%.Conclusions: Generally, prevalence of inadequacy of key nutrients were relatively high among adolescents and schoolchildren, especially those from poor families and rural areas. This study demonstrated that nutrient intakes of Filipino schoolchildren and adolescents were highly inadequate, particularly among the poor and those living in rural areas.
