Book Description
Abstract: A comprehensive food consumption survey of 991 urban households in Alaska was based on 7-day information collected by an interviewer; the survey provides detailed analysis of the kind, quantity and form (fresh, canned, or frozen) of food used, cost and number of meals at home and away, home food production, etc. The nutritive values of foods consumed were calculated from kinds and quantities of food used, and were compared to RDAs. The results revealed that the average Alaskan household (3.1 members) consumed $87 worth of food per week, of which $66 was for food used at home. Low income households consumed the largest quantities of only 2 of the 9 food categories, namely grain products, and sugars and sweets. Although individual consumption patterns varied considerably, the average household had adequate intakes of 11 nutrients. Intakes were most likely to be inadequate for calcium and vitamin B6. Female-headed households had lower nutrient intakes than others, especially for calcium, iron, magnesium, and vitamins B6 and B12. (cj).

Book Description
Abstract: A report presents findings on the money value, quantity, and nutritive value of food used at home and costs for food away from home for Puerto Rican households in 1977. Data on the nutrient return per dollar's worth of food and on nutrient density (per 1,000 calories) are included. The nutrient content of food used at home was obtained both from information collected on kinds and quantities of food used by households during a 7 day period, and from USDA composition tables. Nutrient levels of food used by households are expressed as percentages of the 1974 RDA's; findings are grouped by urbanization, income, and household size. (rkm).

Food Consumption and Dietary Levels of Low-income Households, November 1977-March 1978

Pages : 38
Book Description
Abstract: A survey of 4400 low-income households eligible for food stamps was conducted in 1977-78 to study certain population subgroups; dietary intake levels were evaluated and the impact of food programs on nutritional status was assessed. Data were obtained on kind, form, quantity, and cost of foods used at home for a 7-day period. Demographic information included household size, use of food stamps, age of household head, tenancy, ethnic background, food shopping habits, and educational attainment. Some of the findings were that the food stamp program recipients (38%) were located in urban areas of the south or northeast, were likely to be female-headed households, and were not elderly. The average household used $48 worth of food per week for 3.3 members. Households receiving food stamps had slightly higher food money values and nutrient intakes per member than did non-recipient households. Food use of the average household was sufficient to meet RDAs for energy and 11 nutrients. (cj).
