Nutritional status and socioeconomic characteristics of 49 men attending a soup kitchen in a residential neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama were determined by interview, anthropometry and laboratory assays. Laboratory or anthropometric evidence of nutrient deficiency was present in 94 per cent of the subjects. Deficiency of ascorbate (63 per cent), folate (35 per cent), and thiamin (29 per cent) was higher in these men than in either patients or presumably healthy adults. Since soup kitchen meals provided insufficient vitamin C and folate, additional sources of these nutrients should be provided.
通过访谈、人体测量和实验室检测，确定了阿拉巴马州伯明翰市一个居民区施粥所中49名男性的营养状况和社会经济特征。94%的受试者存在营养缺乏的实验室或人体测量证据。这些男性中抗坏血酸盐（63%）、叶酸（35%）和硫胺素（29%）的缺乏情况高于患者或假定健康的成年人。由于施粥所提供的膳食维生素C和叶酸不足，应提供这些营养素的额外来源。
