Mean usual nutrient intake per day
Mean usual nutrient intake of iron (mg), zinc (mg), vitamin A (RAE), calcium(mg), vitamin B1 (g), B2 (mg), B3 (mg), B6 (mg), B9 (ug), B12 (ug) and vitamin D (ug DFE) will be calculated based on food intake per person per day conversion to usual nutrient intakes per person per day using food composition tables.
Time frame: Standard multiple pass 24-hour recall
Nutritional status (Prevalence of stunting, underweight, overweight and obesity)
Height and weight were measured using standardized scales and height boards. Calculations were made comparing the individual's weight, height and age in some cases to define nutritional status indicators. Cut-offs used were defined by World Health Organization (WHO) Anthro Plus Software (version 1.0.4) for children and using WHO cut-off values for adults. Underweight (\<18.5 kg/m2), normal (18.5-24.9 kg/m2), overweight (25-29.9 kg/m2) and obese (\>30 kg/m2).
Time frame: on the spot measurement
Food intake per day per person
Food item and food group intake will be calculated based on classification of foods consumed into food groups
Time frame: Standard multiple pass 24-hour recall
