Abstract

 A total of 147 rural adult males from two villages of Ludhiana district, Punjab belonging to low (LIG), medium (MIG) and high income groups (HIG) were surveyed for their nutrient adequacy. The daily intake of cereals, pulses, green leafy vegetables, roots and tubers, other vegetables, fruits, sugars and fats and oils was less than suggested intake, while that of milk and milk products was higher. Diets of the individuals were deficient in energy, â-carotene, riboflavin, niacin and vitamin B12 but contained higher amount of thiamine and calcium compared to ICMR’s recommendation. Intake of protein, fat, folic acid and iron was higher in MIG and HIG than RDA as compared to LIG. Income significantly (P<0.05) affected fat, â-carotene, folic acid, calcium and iron consumption, whereas energy, protein, carbohydrate, thiamine, riboflavin, ascorbic acid intake of individuals was significantly (P<0.05) more in HIG as compared to LIG.
