Distribution of vitamin A intake (µg RAE/d) from food, breast milk, simulated supplementation program and oil fortification program among children 1 to 5 years of age from the Cameroon National Micronutrient Survey 2009, estimated using the UCD/NCI SIMPLE macro. NCI, National Cancer Institute; RAE, Retinol Activity Equivalent; UCD, University of California, Davis. We assumed that breastfed children in the North, South, and Cities consumed 550.6, 232.2, and 473.2 µg RAE/d of vitamin A from breast milk. The regional variation in vitamin A intake from the breast milk are due to varying vitamin A concentrations in mothers’ breast milk by region. The simulated dietary supplementation program was assumed to deliver a daily dose of 167 μg retinol to a random sample of 90% of the target population. The simulated oil fortification program was assumed to fortify all industrially refined cooking oil with 12 μg retinol/g of oil.
