title: Nutritional intake of an undernourished infant population receiving an energy and micronutrient supplement in Indonesia.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  This paper reports the dietary intake (home, day care centers, supplement and breast milk) of the children in the clinical trial in Pangalengan.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two cohorts of children were randomly assigned to three treatments: E = 1171 kJ + 12 mg iron; M = 209 kJ + 12 mg iron; S = 104 kJ. Supplementation was given for 12 months.
  
  
  METHODS
  The sites were six tea plantations in Pangalengan, West Java.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 12-month-old (n = 53) and an 18-month-old (n = 83) cohort were recruited from day-care-centers. Twenty children who received S belong to the 12- and 18-month-old cohorts. Inclusion criteria were: no chronic disease; length-for-age < or = -1 standard deviation (s.d.) and weight-for-length between -1 and -2 s.d. of the median of the reference of the World Health Organization.
  
  
  METHODS
  E = 1171 kJ + 12 mg iron; M = 209 kJ + 12 mg iron; S = 104 kJ. Supplementation was given for 12 months. Evaluations of intake were made at baseline and every 2 months thereafter.
  
  
  RESULTS
  For the 12-month-old cohort the mean increase in daily energy intake approximately 2931 kJ for E, approximately 1675 kJ for M, and approximately 837 kJ increase over the 6 months for the S group. For the 18-month-old cohort the changes were approximately 2512 kJ for E approximately 1675 for the M group and approximately 1047 for the S group.
