To characterise food group consumption, assess the contribution of food groups to energy and micronutrient intake, and estimate usual nutrient intake among adults in rural Sri Lanka.
A baseline survey (December 2020-February 2021) was conducted as part of an agriculture-based, nutrition-sensitive resilience program evaluation. Dietary intake was assessed using telephone-based 24-h recalls ( 1283), with repeat recalls from 769 participants. Mean daily intake of food groups and their contribution to energy and nutrient intakes were calculated. The National Cancer Institute method was used to estimate usual intakes and the prevalence of adequate micronutrient intake (PAI). Differences by sex, district, and wealth were assessed using tests and ANOVA.
Forty-five rural villages throughout Sri Lanka.
Men and women from households in the program evaluation study area.
On average, grains and coconut milk provided 56 % and 12 % of energy, respectively. Rice, fish, dairy, and pulses were the primary sources of micronutrients. Participants consumed 118 ± 117 g of vegetables and 71 ± 243 g of fruit per day. PAI was < 25 % for calcium, zinc, niacin, folate, and vitamins B, B, and C, reflecting low consumption of animal-source foods (80 g/day), whole grains, fruit, and vegetables (F&V). Significant differences in food group consumption by socio-demographic subgroup were observed among districts and wealth quintiles.
We observed high consumption of rice and coconut milk and low prevalence of micronutrient adequacy. We recommend increasing animal-source food, whole grain, and F&V consumption to close nutrient gaps, as well as research to identify effective solutions to increase micronutrient intake.
描述斯里兰卡农村成年人的食物组消费情况，评估食物组对能量和微量营养素摄入的贡献，并估计其通常的营养素摄入量。
作为一项基于农业的营养敏感型复原力计划评估的一部分，进行了一项基线调查（2020年12月至2021年2月）。使用基于电话的24小时回忆法评估饮食摄入量（1283人），769名参与者进行了重复回忆。计算了食物组的平均每日摄入量及其对能量和营养素摄入的贡献。采用美国国立癌症研究所的方法估计通常摄入量和微量营养素充足摄入率（PAI）。使用检验和方差分析评估性别、地区和财富方面的差异。
斯里兰卡全国45个乡村。
项目评估研究区域内家庭中的男性和女性。
平均而言，谷物和椰奶分别提供了56%和12%的能量。大米、鱼类、乳制品和豆类是微量营养素的主要来源。参与者每天食用118±117克蔬菜和71±243克水果。钙、锌、烟酸、叶酸以及维生素B、B和C的PAI均低于25%，这反映出动物源食物（80克/天）、全谷物、水果和蔬菜（F&V）的消费量较低。在不同地区和财富五分位数的社会人口亚组中，食物组消费存在显著差异。
我们观察到大米和椰奶的高消费量以及微量营养素充足率的低患病率。我们建议增加动物源食物、全谷物和F&V的消费量以缩小营养差距，同时开展研究以确定增加微量营养素摄入量的有效解决方案。
