Provision of Select Micronutrients Among Primary School Students

This article examines the adequacy of selected vitamins in the diets of 7–10-year-old schoolchildren attending rural schools in the Kashkadarya region of Uzbekistan. According to the findings, an analysis of the average percentage of selected vitamins in the daily diets of children aged 7–10 years, relative to the recommended dietary allowances (RDAs), revealed inadequate intake of vitamins A, D, and B9 (43.5%, 67.5%, and 53.2% of the recommended levels, respectively). In contrast, the intake of vitamins B2 and PP exceeded the recommended levels by an average of 15–28%, while the intake of vitamins C and B12 was found to be within the recommended range. The study highlights the need to optimize schoolchildren’s daily dietary patterns and develop appropriate practical interventions to prevent inadequate intake of essential vitamins.
