The nutrient intakes of 30 children in a rural Nigerian community were assessed by measuring their food intakes for four consecutive days by direct weighing method. The contents of the following six nutrients were calculated: energy, protein, calcium, iron, riboflavin, and vitamin C. The mean (SD) daily energy intakes for the various ages groups were: 1-5 years 801 (317) kcal; 6-10 years 1123 (214) kcal; and 11-15 years 903 (134) kcal, while the mean (SD) daily protein intakes for the same group of children were 21 (11) g; 35 (10) g, and 27 (7) g. These figures show a wide departure from the FAO/WHO/UNU reference values and a worsening of the nutritional status of rural Nigerian children.
通过直接称重法连续四天测量尼日利亚农村社区30名儿童的食物摄入量，评估了他们的营养摄入量。计算了以下六种营养素的含量：能量、蛋白质、钙、铁、核黄素和维生素C。各年龄组的平均（标准差）每日能量摄入量分别为：1 - 5岁801（317）千卡；6 - 10岁1123（214）千卡；11 - 15岁903（134）千卡，而同一组儿童的平均（标准差）每日蛋白质摄入量分别为21（11）克；35（10）克和27（7）克。这些数据表明，这些数值与粮农组织/世界卫生组织/联合国大学的参考值有很大差异，且尼日利亚农村儿童的营养状况正在恶化。
