Abstract The aims of the second health scientific expedition in Nepal were to investigate the nutritional intakes of the winter season of 1990 and to compare them with those in the summer season of 1987. Five... hundred and twenty-seven subjects(147 men and 140 women) at Kotyang and 240(144 men and 126 women) in Bhadrakali, 20 years of age and over, participated in the nutritional survey. The survey for the nutritional intake was carried out by 24-hour recall method to obtain the individual food consumption using the food models. More than 30 kinds of the food materials were collected from the usual dietary menu of randomly selected houses and were analysed their nutrient contents in Japan. The intakes of energy per kg of body weight were greater in the men and women in Bhadrakali than in Kotyang, respectively. Fiber intake in both villages was significantly higher than that of the Japanese, while intakes of calcium, iron, potassium and vitamins were almost the same. Cereal energy and fat to total energy ratio were about 75% and 11%, respectively, in both villages. The intake of animal products in winter increased in Bhadrakali compared with that in summer, but no difference was observed in Kotyang. Energy intake per body weight, animal protein to total protein ratio and animal fat to total fat ratio increased more in winter than in summer in Bhadrakali, but not in Kotyang. These results suggest that these changes may be due to not only the seasonal difference of the crops but also the modernization of the life style in Bhadrakali.show more
