The segments include adolescent females, older adults, children and adults at risk of overweight, individuals living in food-insufficient households, low-income individuals, and individuals targeted by and participating in food and nutrition assistance programs. The study adds to a growing literature that uses current, improved knowledge of nutrient requirements and recommended nutrient assessment methods to analyze nutrient intakes. The study indicates generally inadequate intakes of key micronutrients, especially magnesium, calcium, folate, and vitamin E; energy intakes less than recommended energy requirements for adults; and consumption of too much food energy from fat and not enough from carbohydrates; and inadequate intakes of fiber. In addition, diet adequacy deteriorates as individuals get older. Children--especially infants and young children-have diets that are more nutritionally adequate than those of adolescents and adults. 300 $aTitle from Web site (viewed on Oct. 24, 2005). 606 $aNutrition Assessment 606 $aPoverty 606 $aNutrition$xEvaluation 606 $aNutrition disorders$zUnited States 606 $aAmericans$xNutrition$zUnited States 606 $aPoor$xNutrition$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States 615 12$aNutrition Assessment. 615 22$aPoverty. 615 0$aNutrition$xEvaluation. 615 0$aNutrition disorders 615 0$aAmericans$xNutrition 615 0$aPoor$xNutrition 701 $aDevaney$b Barbara L$01382181 712 02$aUnited States.$bDepartment of Agriculture.$bEconomic Research Service. 801 0$bNLM 801 1$bNLM 801 2$bGPO 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910697220703321 996 $aAssessing the nutrient intakes of vulnerable subgroups$93528829 997 $aUNINA
