A computer-based nutritional analysis program can help to identify the nutritional status of people and provide information for nutritional counseling, nutrition education, diet planning, and menu development. Although computer-based nutritional analysis has been conducted since the 1960s in developed countries, in developing countries nutritional analysis programs either do not exist or need improving. This study tests two analysis programs developed by different countries to compare the nutrition status data calculated by two different analysts to highlight the importance of developing an appropriate nutrition analysis tool. An interview-administered 24-h dietary recall method was conducted with 100 adults aged 40∼59 years in Vientiane, Laos. Analysts from Korea and Laos, respectively, calculated nutrient intake using the Institute of Nutrition, Mahidol University CALculation (INMUCAL) nutritional analysis program (Bangkok, Thailand). Nutrient intake was also compared using two different analysis tools, INMUCAL and computer aided nutrition-al analysis program (CAN-Pro) 5.0 software (Seoul, Korea). The average nutrient intake calculated by the different analysts using INMUCAL were not significantly different. Furthermore, macronutrient intake calculated by CAN-Pro 5.0 and INMUCAL did not significantly differ, aside for intake of iron, thiamin, and vitamin C. Nutrient intake calculated by one analysis program differed from those calculated by a different program in Laos. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an appropriate nutritional analysis program that reflects the diet behavior and food culture in Laos and to understand the nutritional status of Laotians.
基于计算机的营养分析程序有助于识别人们的营养状况，并为营养咨询、营养教育、饮食规划和菜单制定提供信息。尽管自20世纪60年代以来发达国家就已开展基于计算机的营养分析，但在发展中国家，营养分析程序要么不存在，要么需要改进。本研究测试了两个由不同国家开发的分析程序，比较两位不同分析师计算出的营养状况数据，以突出开发合适营养分析工具的重要性。在老挝万象，对100名40至59岁的成年人采用访谈式24小时膳食回顾法进行调查。韩国和老挝的分析师分别使用玛希隆大学营养研究所计算法（INMUCAL）营养分析程序（泰国曼谷）计算营养素摄入量。还使用两种不同的分析工具，即INMUCAL和计算机辅助营养分析程序（CAN-Pro）5.0软件（韩国首尔）比较营养素摄入量。不同分析师使用INMUCAL计算出的平均营养素摄入量没有显著差异。此外，除了铁、硫胺素和维生素C的摄入量外，CAN-Pro 5.0和INMUCAL计算出的宏量营养素摄入量没有显著差异。在老挝，由一个分析程序计算出的营养素摄入量与由另一个程序计算出的不同。因此，有必要开发一个反映老挝饮食行为和饮食文化的合适营养分析程序，并了解老挝人的营养状况。
