Data were collected as part of a cross-sectional study. The objectives were to compare dietary intakes of iron and enhancers and inhibitors of non-heme iron absorption in hill tribe and urban women of Chiang Rai province, northern Thailand, and compare iron- and vitamin C- containing foods sold in markets in both settings. Dietary data were collected using three 24- hour recalls from 128 women aged 19-50 years (hill tribe: n = 65; urban n = 63), and proportions of low-, medium- and high-iron/vitamin C containing foods were surveyed in local markets. Hill tribe women consumed less iron, animal protein, vitamin C and calcium, but market availability of iron/vitamin C foods was similar. Future interventions should focus on food choice modification, to improve intakes of iron and foods that enhance its absorption, especially among hill tribe women.
数据是作为一项横断面研究的一部分收集的。目的是比较泰国北部清莱省山地部落和城市妇女的铁和非血红素铁吸收促进剂和抑制剂的饮食摄入量,并比较这两个地区市场上出售的含铁和维生素 C 的食物。通过对 128 名 19-50 岁妇女(山地部落:n = 65;城市:n = 63)进行三次 24 小时回忆,收集了饮食数据,并在当地市场调查了低、中、高含铁/含维生素 C 食物的比例。山地部落妇女的铁、动物蛋白、维生素 C 和钙摄入量较少,但市场上铁/维生素 C 食物的供应情况相似。未来的干预措施应侧重于食物选择的改变,以改善铁和促进铁吸收的食物的摄入量,特别是在山地部落妇女中。
