Micronutrient Adequacy of Women’s Diet in Urban Burkina Faso Is Low
Open accessAbstract
In developing countries, urban populations are deemed to have better access to a wider variety of foods than their rural counterparts. Yet, data on micronutrient status are scarce and the impact of urban food consumption behaviors on micronutrient adequacy is not well known. The objective of this study was to assess individual micronutrient adequacy of the diet along with food consumption behaviors of women of reproductive age in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. A cross-sectional survey of 182 women was conducted in 2 districts of the city. Nutrient intakes were derived from 3 nonconsecutive quantitative 24-h recalls for each woman. Balance in macronutrients was in the range of recommendations except that mean sugar intake was somewhat high. Mean probability of adequacy across 11 micronutrients was low (0.38). The most problematic micronutrients were vitamin B-12 (only 4% of our sample had sufficient intake), folate (12%), riboflavin (13%), and niacin (20%). Higher intakes of organ meat, flesh foods, vitamin A- and vitamin C-rich fruits and vegetables, and legumes and nuts were significantly associated with lower risk of micronutrient inadequacy. Ready-to-eat foods bought outside the home provided 46% of overall energy intake, 52% of fat intake, and 72% of sugar intake but were not associated with micronutrient inadequacy (P > 0.05). These results highlight the low micronutrient intakes among women of reproductive age in Burkina Faso, even in an urban area.

The positive association between expenses on prepared dishes and MDD-W may be related to the importance of buying ready-to-eat foods and snacking among urban food practices of Burkina Faso.
“The positive association found between expenses on prepared dishes and MDD‐W may be related to the importance of buying ready‐to‐eat foods and snacking among urban food practices of Burkina Faso (Becquey & Martin‐Prevel, 2010).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
