  abstract = {{D}ue to rapid urbanization and high food prices and in the absence of nutrition programs, school children from urban areas in {W}est {A}frica often have insufficient and inadequate diet leading to nutrient deficiencies that affect their health and schooling performance. {A}cute malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies are prevalent in children from primary state schools of {D}akar ({S}enegal). {T}he objectives of the present study were to assess the overall diet of these children, to report insufficient/excessive energy and nutrient intakes and to investigate association between insufficient nutrient intake and micronutrient deficiencies. {C}hildren attending urban state primary schools in the {D}akar area were selected through a two-stage random cluster sampling (30 schools x 20 children). {D}ietary intake data were obtained from two 24 h recalls and blood samples were collected from 545 children (aged 5-17 years, 45% < 10 years, 53% girls) and adjusted for intra-individual variability to estimate nutrient usual intakes. {E}nergy intake was insufficient and unbalanced with insufficient contribution of protein and excessive contribution of fat to global energy intake in one third of the children. {P}roportions of children with insufficient intake were: 100% for calcium, 100% for folic acid, 79% for vitamin {A}, 69% for zinc, 53% for vitamin {C} and 46% for iron. {I}nsufficient iron and protein intake were risk factors for iron deficiency (odds ratio, {OR} 1.5, 2.2). {I}nsufficient zinc intake and energy intake from protein were risk factors for zinc deficiency ({OR} 1.8, 3.0, 1.7, 2.9). {I}nsufficient iron and vitamin {C} intake, and insufficient energy intake from protein were risk factors for marginal vitamin {A} status ({OR} 1.8, 1.8, 3.3). {T}o address nutritional deficiencies associated with a diet deficient in energy, protein and micronutrients, nutrition education or school feeding programs are needed in urban primary schools of {S}enegal.},
