Food intake in a multicultural southwestern population II. Ethnic, gender and age differences

The purpose of this paper was to assess ethnic, gender and age differences in food consumption and liking in a Southwestern population. Subjects were 176 Anglo, Hispanic, Navajo and Jemez Indian elementary school children. Numerous ethnic differences in food intake and liking were identified, and a smaller number of gender and age differences were also significant. These results suggest that nutrition programs and curriculum development should be adapted and individualized to fit the needs of children of different cultures, genders and ages.
