Dietary Inadequacy Increases with Advancing Age for Some Essential Nutrients

Footnote: **denotes significance between age groups in individual nutrients by p<0.001, and * by p<0.05. Only nutrients for which there was a significant difference by age group are included herein (omitted Vitamins B12, D, K, niacin, riboflavin, copper and selenium) For some nutrients (Vitamins A & B6, thiamin and iron), none of the young children were consuming less than the EAR, therefore, the % in this figure is zero. Adult subjects are represented by the black bars, older children & adolescents by the striped bars, and younger children by the light grey bars.
