Pubmed was searched for studies, related references were checked and experts consulted. Ten studies were identified and six were included in the final analysis representing Albanian, Roma, Sub-Saharan African, South Asian and African-Caribbean minority groups. The Estimated Average Requirement cut point was applied to estimate inadequate intake. With the exception of a sub-Saharan African study, of seven micronutrients analysed, inadequate intakes were markedly elevated (> 50 % of the population in most cases) in both genders for folate, vitamin B-12, calcium and iron (the latter in females only). A pressing need exists for intake adequacy studies with sound methodologies addressing ethnic minority groups in Europe. These populations constitute a vulnerable population for inadequate intakes and results substantiate the need for further investigation, interventions and policy measures to reduce their nutritional risk. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/44685 | ISSN: | 1557-1912 | DOI: | 10.1007/s10903-013-9799-3 | Fuente: | Journal Of Immigrant And Minority Health [ISSN 1557-1912], v. 16 (5), p. 941-950 |
