  abstract = {{I}n developing countries, urban populations are deemed to have better access to a wider variety of foods than their rural counterparts. {Y}et, data on micronutrient status are scarce and the impact of urban food consumption behaviors on micronutrient adequacy is not well known. {T}he objective of this study was to assess individual micronutrient adequacy of the diet along with food consumption behaviors of women of reproductive age in {O}uagadougou, {B}urkina {F}aso. {A} cross-sectional survey of 182 women was conducted in 2 districts of the city. {N}utrient intakes were derived from 3 nonconsecutive quantitative 24-h recalls for each woman. {B}alance in macronutrients was in the range of recommendations except that mean sugar intake was somewhat high. {M}ean probability of adequacy across 11 micronutrients was low (0.38). {T}he most problematic micronutrients were vitamin {B}-12 (only 4% of our sample had sufficient intake), folate (12%), riboflavin (13%), and niacin (20%). {H}igher intakes of organ meat, flesh foods, vitamin {A}- and vitamin {C}-rich fruits and vegetables, and legumes and nuts were significantly associated with lower risk of micronutrient inadequacy. {R}eady-to-eat foods bought outside the home provided 46% of overall energy intake, 52% of fat intake, and 72% of sugar intake but were not associated with micronutrient inadequacy ({P} > 0.05). {T}hese results highlight the low micronutrient intakes among women of reproductive age in {B}urkina {F}aso, even in an urban area. {J}. {N}utr. 140: 2079{S}-2085{S}, 2010.},
