ERICA: Intake of Macro and Micronutrients of Brazilian Adolescents

This paper describes dietary intakes of Brazilian adolescents (12-17y). Energy and percentage of energy from macronutrients are based on a single quantitative 24HDR. The paper also reports percentages of nutrient inadequacy based on usual micronutrient intakes (computed from a second 24HDR collected on a subsample and using the National Cancer Institute (NCI) method). Prevalence of micronutrient inadequacy were computed using the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) or the probability method.
