Dietary Intake and Nutritional Situation of Women of Reproductive Age (20-50 Years Old) in Lango Sub-Region of Northern Uganda: Implementation of Calculator for Inadequate Micronutrient Intake (CIMI) Program
REFNo: HS319ES
The main objective of this study is to assess the dietary intake and nutritional status of women of reproductive age in the predominantly rural North of Uganda. Therefore, the innovative
nutrition software called Calculator for Inadequate Micronutrient Intake (CIMI) will be used and validated with the obtained data.
Research objectives:
(1) To evaluate the dietary intake and nutritional status of women of reproductive age (20-50 years old) from Lango Sub-Region in Northern Uganda.
(2) To adapt CIMI program to the country Uganda and to compare CIMI with the software NutriSurvey for its ability to analyze dietary nutrients intake (Fe, Zn and Vitamin A and protein) and energy content in the study region. For the validation of CIMI, a new localization (appropriate to Ugandan Food) will be implemented in the nutrition software before.
(3) To identify the main causes of poor food consumption patterns of Ugandan women of reproductive age.
