Abstract
Background
Adolescent is the second growth spurt and transitional phase in individual's life. Malnutrition is prevailing highly in adolescents. This study aims at studying the actual nutritional intake and the consumption pattern and its comparison with the newly formulated RDA 2024 among the school going Adolescents of the Lucknow City.
Methods
607 students of age 13–19 years from various government schools of Lucknow city were selected as early and late adolescents. Daily consumption of various macronutrients and micronutrients was obtained and compared with Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) 2024. Data was analysed using IBM SPSS software version 20.
Results
The revised Dietary Guidelines-ICMR India (2024) talks about Estimated Energy Requirement (EER) rather than Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), the caloric intake as compared to Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) was found to be at lower side. Protein consumption was lower than Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA). Whereas fat consumption was high. The study concluded that consumption of micronutrients in Early and Late adolescents was below Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA).
Conclusion
This results to conclusion that population had lower amount of nutrients intake as compared to the guidelines. Therefore, robust nutritional intervention approach is needed to address malnutrition prevailing in this area.
