Lipid intakes of Maasai women and children
The traditional Maasai diet of meat, milk and blood is generally thought to be high in fat. Because of this much of the research carried out on the Maasai has been related to serum lipid levels. Few of these studies, however, have quantified dietary fat intake. This paper describes the Maasai diet and discusses the nutritional value of milk and dietary lipid intakes of 127 women and 411 children over a one year period. Lipid intakes ranged by age…
Nutritional status of under five year olds in North Sudan
The drought of 1983–1985 in Sudan led to a large number of children becoming undernourished. In order to determine the magnitude of the problem a study was set up to assess the nutritional status of under five year olds across north Sudan, over four periods of time, during 1986–1987. Data were collected on just under 80,000 children from 50,000 households. Undernutrition was widespread across north Sudan with 32% of under five year olds being chr…
Food intake and growth in the Maasai
The traditional staple diet of the Maasai consists of cow milk and maizemeal, but there is variation in this diet depending on age. Young children are dependent on dairy products for both protein and energy and as a result their diet is particularly high in fat. As children get older, maizemeal becomes increasingly important in the diet, and carbohydrate rather than fat becomes the prime source of energy. The energy intakes of 411 Maasai children…
