Abstract

Minerals are noncalorigenic chemical substances of which only traces are required in human metabolism. They are supplied from the food and the environment and are intimately associated with physiological functions of the body. In the present study, we studied the dietary intake of minerals in different groups by sex in north India. 404 subjects between 25-65 years were randomly selected in the Moradabad city. There were 200 males and 204 females. Dietary intakes were obtained by 3 days dietary recalls and by using food models, food portions and food measures . Nutrient intake especially minerals were calculated by computation of Indian Food Composition Table. Serum concentration of minerals were estimated by spectrophotometric and flamephotometic method.
