Book excerpt: Abstract: A comprehensive food consumption survey of 991 urban households in Alaska was based on 7-day information collected by an interviewer; the survey provides detailed analysis of the kind, quantity and form (fresh, canned, or frozen) of food used, cost and number of meals at home and away, home food production, etc. The nutritive values of foods consumed were calculated from kinds and quantities of food used, and were compared to RDAs. The results revealed that the average Alaskan household (3.1 members) consumed $87 worth of food per week, of which $66 was for food used at home. Low income households consumed the largest quantities of only 2 of the 9 food categories, namely grain products, and sugars and sweets. Although individual consumption patterns varied considerably, the average household had adequate intakes of 11 nutrients. Intakes were most likely to be inadequate for calcium and vitamin B6. Female-headed households had lower nutrient intakes than others, especially for calcium, iron, magnesium, and vitamins B6 and B12. (cj).
