To describe energy and nutrient intake in adults.
The 2006 Mexican National Health and Nutrition Survey is a nationally representative cross-sectional household survey. A food frequency questionnaire was administered (n= 16 494 adults). Mean percent of adequacy (PA) and inadequacy (PA < 50%) of total energy and macro- and micro-nutrient intake was calculated for all subjects and by sociodemographic characteristics.
Significant differences in PA and inadequate macro- and micro-nutrient intakes were found among sex, region, rural/urban area, and socioeconomic status tertile. PA < 50% was higher than 20% for vitamin A (26.2%), fat (24.8%), fiber (23.6%), folic acid (23.5%), vitamin C (21.3%) and calcium (21%). Obese subjects reported a lower energy intake than normal weight subjects.
A significant proportion of the population was at risk of excessive carbohydrate and fat intake. Across the country there are significant sociodemographic differences in macro- and micro-nutrient intake and a myriad of micro-nutrient inadequacies continue to persist in Mexico.
描述成年人的能量和营养素摄入量。
2006 年墨西哥国家健康和营养调查是一项具有全国代表性的横断面家庭调查。采用食物频率问卷（n=16494 名成年人）。对所有受试者和按社会人口特征计算总能量和宏量及微量营养素摄入的充足率（PA）和不足率（PA<50%）。
在性别、地区、城乡地区和社会经济地位三分位数方面，PA 和不足的宏量和微量营养素摄入存在显著差异。维生素 A（26.2%）、脂肪（24.8%）、纤维（23.6%）、叶酸（23.5%）、维生素 C（21.3%）和钙（21%）的 PA<50%高于 20%。肥胖受试者的能量摄入低于正常体重受试者。
相当一部分人口面临碳水化合物和脂肪摄入过量的风险。在全国范围内，宏观和微量营养素的摄入存在显著的社会人口差异，而且墨西哥仍存在大量微量营养素不足的情况。
