p-Value
n = 140 n = 142
Energy (kcal)/day 479 kcal/day 22.9% 21.8% 0.84
Protein (g)/day 10.5 g/day 62.1% 52.8% 0.11
Lipid (g)/day 35% of caloric intake/day 7.1% 7.0% 0.97
Iron (mg)/day 9.3 g/day 1.4% 0.0% 0.15
Zinc (mg)/day 4.1 mg/day 1.4% 0.7% 0.55
Calcium (mg)/day 400 mg/day 3.6% 7.0% 0.19
Vitamin A (ug)/day 400 ug/day 38.6% 32.4% 0.28

Notes: RNI for energy is for complementary foods only and assumes average breastmilk intake by age (9–11 months and 12–23 months) [29]. For non-breastfed infants > 12 months old, we used 858 kcal/day for adequacy; protein—WHO/Food Agricultural Organization) (FAO) requirements: we used the average by age and sex at 10.5 for 12 months and 11.9 > 12 [28]. The values shown are averages across age and sex; for iron and zinc, we assumed moderate bioavailability. There were 4 infants 13 months of age; in this analysis, for energy, protein, and lipids nutrients, the appropriate cutoff for 13-month-olds was used.
