Download or read book Food Consumption and Dietary Levels of Low income Households November 1977 March 1978 written by and published by . This book was released on 1981 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: A survey of 4400 low-income households eligible for food stamps was conducted in 1977-78 to study certain population subgroups; dietary intake levels were evaluated and the impact of food programs on nutritional status was assessed. Data were obtained on kind, form, quantity, and cost of foods used at home for a 7-day period. Demographic information included household size, use of food stamps, age of household head, tenancy, ethnic background, food shopping habits, and educational attainment. Some of the findings were that the food stamp program recipients (38%) were located in urban areas of the south or northeast, were likely to be female-headed households, and were not elderly. The average household used $48 worth of food per week for 3.3 members. Households receiving food stamps had slightly higher food money values and nutrient intakes per member than did non-recipient households. Food use of the average household was sufficient to meet RDAs for energy and 11 nutrients. (cj).
