TI  - Using Household Consumption and Expenditures Survey (HCES) data to assess dietary 
      intake in relation to the nutrition transition: a case study from Cape Verde.
PG  - S221-7
AB  - BACKGROUND: Few surveys of food and nutrient intakes are conducted at the 
      individual level in low- and middle-income countries, whereas Household 
      Consumption and Expenditures Surveys (HCES) are regularly carried out to monitor 
      economic conditions. Because of the paucity of individual-level data, there is 
      interest in using HCES to aid in the design of food and nutrition policies. 
      OBJECTIVE: Data from the 2001/02 HCES from Cape Verde were used to assess 
      household dietary intakes in the context of the country's nutrition transition. 
      METHODS: The survey included weighed measurements of household food intake and 
      measurements of the weight and height of all household members. Households were 
      classified as "underweight" if they had at least one underweight member, 
      "overweight" if they had at least one overweight member, and "dual burden" if 
      they had at least one underweight and one overweight member. RESULTS: The 
      proportion of households classified as underweight, overweight, and dual burden 
      was 18%, 41%, and 14%, respectively. Household food and nutrient intakes were 
      higher in the overweight households (particularly protein, vitamin A, and 
      calcium) and lower in the underweight households, while there was no clear 
      pattern of intakes in the dual burden group. Overweight households consumed more 
      animal food groups than other households. Intakes of fruits and vegetables were 
      low in all groups. CONCLUSIONS: The HCES data for Cape Verde were useful for 
      assessing the extent of the nutrition transition and characterizing dietary 
      intakes by anthropometric classification. Analysis of nutrient and food intakes 
      showed that ensuring sufficient energy availability is no longer the most 
      important issue for Cape Verde, but that ensuring dietary quality is equally 
      crucial, in particular increasing access to fruits and vegetables.
