[Presence of zinc in food and diet in pediatric age].
The authors determined the zinc content in the foods of eight diets recommended for different groups of subjects between four and a half months and twelve years. Then the average daily intake was calculated at any age. The highest values were found in meat products, the lowest ones in fruit and vegetables. The average levels of zinc intake were almost always upper than L.A.R.N. in both male and female.
