Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Objectives: The double burden of malnutrition (DBM) is a public health concern in Ghanaian households. Most previous studies in Ghana have assessed intakes using self-report methods, which are known to be prone to underreporting. This study aimed to assess the energy and nutrient intakes of rural and urban Ghanaian mothers and children using a gold standard method, compared to recommended intakes (RNIs).
