Abstract

A cross-sectional study was carried out among 280 children (12-23 months), Mwingi district, Kenya. Complementary foods were introduced at age 2.5 ± 1.7 months and the mean duration of breastfeeding was 10.5 ± 4.1 months. An unfortified maize porridge was the main complementary food. At least 60% of the children in all the dietary diversity terciles consumed starchy staples and oils in the preceding 24 hr. The mean dietary diversity score was 4.9 ± 1.3 and 4.3 ± 1.0 out of a possible score of 14 and 8 as suggested by FAO, respectively. Dietary diversity was limited in animal products. Deficits in dietary energy, iron and zinc were found due to early introduction of complementary foods and low consumption of food rich in iron. Establishing local solutions to increase dietary diversity and promote use of foods rich in iron and proteins to improve available complementary diets are needed.

肯尼亚Mwingi地区12-23个月儿童的补充喂养方法和膳食摄入量
对肯尼亚Mwingi区的280名儿童(12-23个月)进行了横断面研究。在婴儿2.5±1.7个月时开始添加辅食,平均母乳喂养时间为10.5±4.1个月。未加营养的玉米粥是主要的辅食。在所有膳食多样性组中,至少有60%的儿童在过去24小时内食用了淀粉类主食和食用油。平均膳食多样性评分分别为4.9±1.3分和4.3±1.0分(粮农组织建议的评分分别为14分和8分)。动物产品的膳食多样性有限。膳食能量、铁和锌的缺乏是由于早期引入辅食和低摄入富含铁的食物。需要制定当地解决方案,增加饮食多样性,促进使用富含铁和蛋白质的食物,以改善现有的补充饮食。
