This study examined the effects of an income-generating policy to expand the commercialization of subsistence agriculture in southwestern Kenya on household and preschooler macro- and micronutrient consumption. A representative sample of 617 household was included, and all preschoolers under the age of 6 y (1677) residing in these households were included in the study. Results of this analysis indicate that although increases in household income do result in improved household level vitamin A consumption, increases in household income are not significantly associated with the intake of dietary vitamin A by preschoolers. The analysis suggests that although increases in household income have some very positive effects on household food security and household micronutrient consumption, other community-based health, sanitation and nutrition interventions are needed to address the dietary needs of individuals within the household.
本研究考察了一项创收政策对肯尼亚西南部维持生计农业商业化扩张的影响，该政策涉及家庭及学龄前儿童的常量和微量营养素消费情况。研究纳入了617户家庭的代表性样本，居住在这些家庭中的所有6岁以下学龄前儿童（1677名）也被纳入研究。该分析结果表明，虽然家庭收入增加确实会使家庭层面的维生素A消费得到改善，但家庭收入增加与学龄前儿童膳食维生素A摄入量并无显著关联。分析表明，尽管家庭收入增加对家庭粮食安全和家庭微量营养素消费有一些非常积极的影响，但仍需要其他基于社区的健康、卫生和营养干预措施来满足家庭中个人的饮食需求。
