Abstract: At the annual meeting of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) held in April 1990 in Washington, D.C., a subgroup of members involved in international nutrition research joined together to establish the Society for International Nutrition Research as a special-interest group of the American Institute of Nutrition.One of the objectives of the new society is to foster communication among scientists involved in international nutrition by organizing periodic seminars and symposia.In line with this goal, the society sponsored its first Symposium on International Nutrition during the week of the FASEB meeting.The topic of the symposium, "The Importance of Dietary Quality versus Quantity for Older Infants and Young Children of Less Developed Countries, " was chosen both to highlight new information emerging from field studies in economically disadvantaged communities and to stress the importance of these findings for nutrition policies and programmes in those settings.
