Dietary Diversity and Micronutrients Adequacy in Women of Childbearing Age: Results from ELANS Study

MDPI-Nutrients , 2020

  • ILSI Mesoamerica-EN

Dietary diversity, an important component of diet quality, is associated with an increased probability of adequate micronutrient intake. Women of childbearing age (WCA) are particularly vulnerable to micronutrient inadequacy. The Minimum Dietary Diversity for Women (MDD-W) has been used widely as a proxy measurement of micronutrient adequacy. This study aimed to assess the association between MDD-W and nutrients adequacy among WCA of eight Latin American countries. Nutrient intakes from 3704 WCA were analyzed with two 24-hour dietary recalls.

Food habits of urban Costa Rican population

Acta Médica Costarricense, 2019

  • ILSI Mesoamerica-EN

It is known that bad eating habits contribute to the emergence of chronic diseases, such as obesity and diabetes mellitus, however, there is no updated information regarding the food of the urban population in Costa Rica. The objective of this study was to analyze the eating habits of the Costa Rican population included in the Latin American Study of Nutrition and Health (ELANS). The study method included a sample of 798 participants between 15 and 65 years of the urban area of Costa Rica. The average daily food consumption and frequency per mealtime were determined according to sex, age group, and socioeconomic status.

Fruits and vegetables intake among Costa Rican urban population: results from the Latin American Study of Nutrition and Health: ELANS-Costa Rica

Población y Salud en Mesoamérica (PSM), 2020

  • ILSI Mesoamerica-EN

Consumption of fruit and vegetables has been widely associated with different health benefits such as protection against non-transmissible chronic diseases, cancer and mental disorders. Due to these benefits, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends daily consumption of 400 grams of fruit and vegetables. This study is aimed at characterize fruit and vegetable consumption according to socioeconomic variables, among the Costa Rican population and the degree to which this meets the WHO recommended intake.

Average daily consumption of fruit and vegetables was 220g/p/d and increased with age (p=0.035 between with 15-19 and 50-65 years old) and socioeconomic status (p=0.004 between low and middle). No association was found with gender or education level (p>0.05). Only 12.0 % of the urban Costa Rican population met the WHO recommendation
