Abstract
Two hundred sixty-eight infants under six months of age from three ethnic and three income backgrounds were surveyed by trained nutritionists. The cross-sectional findings were based on maternal information on familial and socioeconomic background, prenatal health history, weight and length measurements at birth, health and development of the infant, and finally, a nutritional history and a 24-hr. recall of food intake. Total daily caloric intakes of infants in this group were not significantly different from intakes of the children studied in Denver by the Child Research Council (5). However, the composition of the diets differed. Differences in the carbohydrate, protein, and lipid are due to the use primarily of evaporated milk formulas with gradually decreasing addition of sugar and the high-cholesterol and low-linoleic acid content in the CRC study, and of premodified formulas with constant sugar content and low cholesterol and high linoleic acid in this study.
