Abstract

There is a growing interest in the role of micronutrients in optimizing health and in the prevention or treatment of diseases. Except for vitamin D, micronutrients are not produced in the body and must be derived from the diet. Micronutrient deficiencies are also referred to as ‘Hidden Hunger'. Objectives: First to study specific nutrient intakes among a group of children in different geographical areas representing Egypt. Second use the information on food patterns and consumption to overcome micronutrient malnutrition problems. Subjects and Methods: This cross-section survey was carried out to study the food consumption pattern and specific nutrient intakes of children in different demographic areas of Egypt. Results showed the dietary information revealed micronutrient deficiencies in Egyptian children, as well as less-than-ideal intakes of important nutrients like calcium, iron, and vitamin A. Conclusion Future studies, should be followed to a better understanding of the variables and barriers preventing Egyptian children from consuming the recommended amounts of micronutrients.
