between males and females in nutrient intakes. Mean energy intake in infants aged 8 to 12 months was 844.5lgaI/day, and that of the 13-28 months was 1024.71 alday, which were 98.8%, 85.4% of the RDA, respectively. The relative ratios of carbohydrate, protein and fat in total calorie intake of the infants aged 8.12 months and those aged 13---28 months were 55.1 : 14.8: 30.1 and 57.4 : 17.1: 25.5, respectively. Mean daily iron intake estimated was 8.9mg in the infants aged 8 to 12 months, and 7.2mg in those aged 13 to 28 months, which was 89.1% and 71.5% of RDA, respectively. The mean zinc intake was 3.6mg in the infants aged 8 to 12 months, and 3.4mg in those aged 13 to 28 months, which was 72.0% and 33.9% of RDA, respectively.
Of the various foods consumed, it was shown that the percentage of nutrients intake from milk and dairy products was the highest, and that of nutrients intakes from weaning food was relatively low.
Conclusions : The results of the study showed that the mean daily intakes of protein, vitamins, calcium, and phosphorus were relatively adequate, but the mean calorie and iron intake were considerably low, and the mean folate and zinc intake were very low in the subjects. Therefore, these results indicate importance of balanced intakes of minerals and trace elements such as iron, zinc and folate´with intakes of macronutrients for the sound nutritional status of growing children. Also it should be developed a guideline for increasing the micronutrient intakes of infants and young children.
