Ten-year trends in vitamin and mineral intake from fortified food in German children and adolescents

Article Abstract:

A new study investigates ten-year trends in vitamin and mineral intake from fortified food in German children and adolescents between 1987 and 1996. The study shows that most children and adolescents eat fortified foods but such fortification is unnecessary because their intake of vitamins A, C, B1, B2 and B6 is already sufficient, while fortified foods containing vitamin E and folate raise normal food intakes to about 80% of recommended values.

Anti-oxidant vitamin status of Russian children and elderly

Article Abstract:

Impoverished Russians are known to have a relatively low daily intake of fruits and vegetables. To determine if this may have led to an equally low intake of crucial anti-oxidant vitamins among poor Russians, a sample group of 50 children and 22 elderly were examined to test for the prevalence of vitamin deficiency in these two vulnerable groups. Results show that the antioxidant vitamin status of people in the sample was not that much different from the vitamin levels observed among their counterparts in Western countries.

The use of nutritional supplements by 4-12 year olds in England and Scotland

Article Abstract:

The results of a study on the nutritional supplement intake of children aged 4-12 years in England and Scotland supported earlier findings that children with the least need for supplement as defined by socio-economic variables are more likely to receive them. Children of Afro-Caribbean, Asian or other origin were more likely to be given supplements than the English or Scottish ones. Supplement intake is influenced by cultural background but is independent of factors such as the child's sex, height, birthweight, length of gestation, father's education or vegetarianism.
