PG  - 1255-9
AB  - OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency pattern of CHO, protein and fat intake in 
      24 hours by Pakistani school children of different socioeconomic and cultural 
      backgrounds) 6 to 16 years of age. METHODS: The cross-sectional study was a 
      multistage stratified sampling, done in a part of nationwide survey funded by the 
      Higher Education Commission, Pakistan (HEC, Ref no: 20-441/R&D/2008). Sample 
      collection of the study was done from 2006-2009, and growth centile charts have 
      already been published (JPMA 2012; 62:367-77). This is the final paper of the 
      completed project and includes data on only the nutritional status. Final 
      statistical analysis of the nutrition aspect was done from 2012 to 2013 and 
      comprised assessment of quality and quantity of CHO, protein and fats consumed by 
      healthy schoolchildren in a 24 hrs recall (breakfast, brunch, lunch, tea time, 
      dinner and bed time). Food records of 11, 237 school children were subjected to 
      United States Department of Agriculture food exchange list. SPSS 18 was used for 
      statistical analysis. RESULTS: The age range of the study subjects was 6-16 
      years, and they represented different areas of Pakistan. The consumption of CHO 
      was high (range: 60-74%) compared to protein (10-12%) and fat (18-32%). 
      CONCLUSION: Schoolchildren in Pakistan were found to be taking a deficient amount 
      of protein and fat in their daily diet, while. CHO intake was higher than normal.
