Dietary intakes of starch and non-starch polysaccharides (NSP) have been estimated for a rural West African community. These people eat directly from shared bowls of cooked food, and so measurement of any individual's food intake is not possible. Recently developed methodology for estimating food intake under these circumstances and the analysis of samples for dietary polysaccharides are combined to yield estimates of intakes of about 375 g starch and 25 g NSP/d for adult males, with lower intakes for women and children, related to their smaller body weights. These intakes are not direct measurements but are extremely plausible when compared with values obtained for other societies where the complication of the shared food bowl does not impinge upon the measurements.
已对西非一个农村社区的淀粉和非淀粉多糖（NSP）膳食摄入量进行了估算。这些人直接从公用的熟食碗中取食，因此无法测量任何个人的食物摄入量。将最近开发的在这种情况下估算食物摄入量的方法与膳食多糖样品分析相结合，得出成年男性的摄入量估计约为375克淀粉和25克NSP/天，女性和儿童的摄入量较低，这与他们较小的体重有关。这些摄入量并非直接测量值，但与在不存在公用食物碗这一复杂情况影响测量的其他社会所获得的值相比，是非常合理的。
