Individual food intakes and body weights were measured in 53 rural Bangladeshi households at four seasons. Energy and protein intakes (kcal/kg/d) showed significant seasonal differences for adults and young children (1-4 yr). Energy intakes of women and children were expressed as a proportion of the male household heads', to give an indicator of food allocation. Women's and older children's proportional energy intakes remained constant through the year, and in line with expected values. Young children's proportional intakes were low, girls' being lower than boys'. The only seasonal variation was an increase in young girls' proportional energy intake when household food supplies were lowest. It is concluded that women's proportional intakes are not depressed when family food intake decreases. There is evidence that young girls receive particularly low intakes.
在四个季节里，对孟加拉国农村的53户家庭的个人食物摄入量和体重进行了测量。成人和幼儿（1 - 4岁）的能量和蛋白质摄入量（千卡/千克/天）呈现出显著的季节性差异。妇女和儿童的能量摄入量以占男性户主摄入量的比例来表示，以此作为食物分配的一个指标。妇女和大龄儿童的能量摄入比例一整年都保持不变，且符合预期值。幼儿的能量摄入比例较低，女孩低于男孩。唯一的季节性变化是当家庭食物供应最低时，年轻女孩的能量摄入比例有所增加。研究得出结论，当家庭食物摄入量减少时，妇女的摄入比例不会降低。有证据表明，年轻女孩的摄入量特别低。
