怀孕、哺乳和婴儿期微量营养素摄入不足是许多发展中国家的一个主要问题。基于脂质的营养补充剂（LNS）可以改善婴儿的微量营养素状况，促进婴儿的生长和发育，并具有改善孕妇和哺乳期妇女营养状况的潜力。本研究的目的是测试专为婴儿（LNS-20 gM）和孕妇或哺乳期妇女（LNS-P &L）设计的LNS的可接受性。参与者是在加纳一家医院接受常规服务的婴儿（n = 22，平均年龄= 8个月）和孕妇或哺乳期妇女（n = 24）。婴儿食用45 g由一份LNS-20 gM和三份发酵玉米粥组成的测试餐，而女性则食用50 g含有LNS-P &L的类似测试餐。参与者还在家中使用各自的LNS 14天。主要结果是试验餐的消耗比例。平均而言，婴儿消耗了76.2%的试验餐[95%（置信区间）CI：65.7，86.7]，而女性消耗了87.1%（95% CI：82.6，91.6）。在14天期间，LNS-20 gM的中位日摄入量为19.3 g，非常接近推荐的20 g d（-1），而LNS-P&L的中位日摄入量为1袋。我们得出结论，LNS-20 gM和LNS-P &L被很好地接受。
Inadequate micronutrient intake during pregnancy, lactation and infancy is a major problem in many developing countries. Lipid-based nutrient supplements (LNS) can improve micronutrient status, growth and development of infants, and also have potential to improve nutritional status of pregnant and lactating women. The objective of the study was to test the acceptability of LNS designed for infants (LNS-20gM) and pregnant or lactating women (LNS-P&L). Participants were infants (n = 22, mean age = 8 months) and pregnant or lactating women (n = 24) attending routine services at a hospital in Ghana. Infants consumed 45 g of a test meal consisting of one part LNS-20gM and three parts fermented maize porridge, while women consumed 50 g of a similar test meal containing LNS-P&L instead. Participants also used their respective LNS at home for 14 days. Primary outcome was the proportion of the test meal consumed. On average, infants consumed 76.2% of the test meal [95% (confidence interval) CI: 65.7, 86.7], while women consumed 87.1% (95% CI: 82.6, 91.6). During the 14-day period, median daily consumption of LNS-20gM was 19.3 g, very close to the recommended 20 g d(-1), while that of LNS-P&L was one sachet, as recommended. We conclude that LNS-20gM and LNS-P&L were well accepted.
