Prevalence of inadequate micronutrient intake among women of reproductive age, with and without the presence of large-scale food fortification (LSFF) programs in Yaoundé/Douala. The bars represent proportion (± SE) below the estimated average requirement, except iron, for which prevalence of inadequate intake was estimated by using the full probability method. "No LSFF” refers to scenarios with micronutrient intake from natural food sources, in the absence of a LSFF program. “LSFF” represents intakes in the presence of mandatory large-scale fortification of wheat flour with folic acid, vitamin B-12, zinc, and iron, and edible oil fortification with vitamin A. Modeled fortification concentrations per 100 g biscuits were: vitamin A: 600 µg retinol activity equivalents; folic acid: 300 µg; vitamin B-12: 2 µg; zinc: 8 mg; and iron: 15 mg. Effective coverage was calculated by subtracting the prevalence of inadequate intake at each fortification concentration from the baseline prevalence of inadequate intake.
