特立尼达和托巴哥近几十年来经历了流行病学的转变，其特点是传染病发病率下降，但肥胖症和非传染性慢性病发病率迅速上升。本研究的目的是调查1961年至2007年期间在特立尼达和托巴哥发生的能源和营养供应的变化。从FAOSTAT数据库下载1961年至2007年期间每年的粮食平衡表，并计算17种粮食商品组的每日人均供应量。在适当编码后，使用膳食分析软件确定能量和营养素供应。编制粮农组织特立尼达和托巴哥1961年至2007年的粮食平衡表。无主题。结果2007年食物供给比1961年人均日增加1561 kJ（373 kcal）。来自碳水化合物的能量占总能量的百分比从1961年的62%下降到2007年的57%，而来自脂肪的能量占总能量的百分比从26%上升到30%以上，现在处于世卫组织建议的上限。糖从总能量的20%增加到26%以上，远远超过世界卫生组织的建议。按营养密度计算，维生素A、叶酸和钙的供应量低于世卫组织的建议。特立尼达食品供应中的营养失衡问题需要得到解决，以应对与营养相关的慢性疾病的增加，预计这些疾病将在未来几年内导致该国残疾和过早死亡的增加。
Objective Trinidad and Tobago has experienced an epidemiological transition over recent decades characterised by reduced rates of communicable diseases but rapidly increasing rates of obesity and non-communicable chronic diseases. The objective of the present study was to investigate the changes in energy and nutrient supply that have taken place in Trinidad and Tobago between 1961 and 2007. Design Food balance sheets for each year between 1961 and 2007 were downloaded from the FAOSTAT database and daily per capita supply for seventeen food commodity groupings was calculated. After appropriate coding, energy and nutrient supply were determined using dietary analysis software. Setting FAO food balance sheets for Trinidad and Tobago from 1961 to 2007. Subjects None. Results The food supply in 2007 provided an extra 1561 kJ (373 kcal)/capita per d than it did in 1961. Energy from carbohydrate as a percentage of total energy fell from 62 % in 1961 to 57 % in 2007, whereas energy from fat as a percentage of total energy increased from 26 % to over 30 % and now lies at the upper end of WHO recommendations. Sugars increased from 20 % to over 26 % of total energy and are well above WHO recommendations. When expressed on a nutrient density basis, supplies of vitamin A, folate and Ca are lower than WHO recommendations. Conclusions Nutritional imbalances in the Trinidadian food supply need to be addressed to combat the rise in nutrition-related chronic disease that is projected to cause increased disability and premature death in the country in the coming years.
