Abstract:
Objective: To evaluate the status of protein and amino acids in farmers who consumed cereals predominately in Henan province, China. Method: Socioeconomic information of 101 selected families was obtained by interviewing; food consumption data were gathered by 12 separated 24 h recalls, and FFQ method. Results: The protein intake was 74 g/capita/day in average, 87% from plant sources. Lysine is the first limiting amino acid . By anthropometric measurements of children aged 5-12 years, 26% of them were stunted and 40% underweight. Conclusion: The total amount of protein matched adult requirements, but was insufficient for children growth. Lysine fortification and other measures may be suggested for relieving child undernutrition.
