Tribal survey ( Table 1 ) (24): (A) Distribution percent of children & adults according to daily intake of cereals & millets as percentage of RDI. (B) Distribution percent of children & adults according to daily intake of milk & milk products as percentage of RDI. (C) Distribution percent of children & adults according to daily intake of cereals & millets as percent of RDI- different states. About 60%–76% of Children 1–3 years from AP, Maharashtra, MP, WB, Orissa, consumed >70% of RDI with maximum from Gujarat(82%) and minimum from Kerala(36%). More than 45%–86% of children 4–6 years consumed >70% of RDI with exception of Kerala(27%). Among children of 10–12 years boys & girls, >70% of RDI was consumed from Orissa (88% & 93%) WB (85% & 90%) and least from Kerala(16% & 22%) respectively. In remaining states, consumption ranges from 35% to 68% for boys and 42% to 77% for girls. More than 51%–96% of adult men consumed >70% of RDI for cereals & millets from all states. The highest being MP (82%), WB (92%), and Orissa (96%). Similar scenario was seen with non-pregnant women. (D) Distribution percent of children & adults according to daily intake of milk & milk products as percent of RDI- different states. Uniformly, 80%–95% of population consumed <50% of RDI of milk & milk products among all age groups in all states. (E) Average intake of cereals & millets-Time trends showing a decline in intake of cereals & millets amongst all age groups in all states. (F) Average intake of milk & milk products-Time trends showing a decline in intake of milk & milk products across all age groups in all states. (G) Graph depicting the milk production and per capita availability for the year 2007–2008. The consumption data of the tribal survey for the year 2007–2008 is superposed. Graph clearly depicts the low consumption of milk despite adequate availability. (H) Distribution of percent of children intake of calcium as percent of RDA. (I) Distribution of percent of adults’ intake of calcium as percent of RDA. (J) Distribution of percent of children according to RDA of calcium in different states. Among children of 1–3 years age, about 80%–90% of HH had intake of calcium <50% of RDA and only ~10% of HH had >70% of RDA. Similar scenario was seen in children 4–6 years of age. Among children of 7–9 years of age, two-thirds of HH had daily intake of calcium <50% of RDA and only 20% of HH had >70% of RDA. Among 10–12 years boys & girls, 70%–85% of HH consumed <50% of RDA of calcium [except Orissa-43%] and less than 15% of HH achieved the criteria of >70% RDA of calcium[Orissa-37%]. Similar scenario was seen in age group of 13–15 years and 16–17 years boys & girls. (K). Distribution of percent of adults according to RDA of calcium in different states. Amongst sedentary men, 35%–45% of the HH from all the states achieved >70% of RDA of calcium with exception of MP (20%) and Orissa (55%). About 35%–45% of HH of all the states had an RDA of <50% with exception of MP (60%) and Orissa (31%). Similar scenario was seen amongst non-pregnant, sedentary women. Only <10% of the HH of pregnant women from all states (except karnataka-25%,Orissa 21%) had >70% RDA of calcium. Almost 85%–90% of HH of pregnant women had calcium intake of <50% in all states. Similar scenario was seen amongst lactating women. (L) Average calcium intake—time trends showing a decline in dietary calcium intake across all age groups over the past four decades.
