  abstract = {{O}bjectives {M}icronutrient deficiencies, in southeast {A}sia ({SE} {A}sia), remain a public health challenge. {W}e evaluated whether promoting the consumption of locally available nutritious foods, which is a low-risk micronutrient intervention, alone can ensure dietary adequacy, for women of reproductive age and 6-23 m old children. {M}ethods {R}epresentative dietary data from {C}ambodia, {I}ndonesia, {L}ao {PDR}, {T}hailand and {V}ietnam were analysed using linear programming analysis to identify nutrients that are likely low in personal food environments (problem nutrients), and to formulate food-based recommendations ({FBR}s) for three to six target populations per country. {R}esults {T}he number of problem nutrients ranged from zero for 12-23 m olds in {I}ndonesia, {T}hailand and {V}ietnam to six for pregnant women in {C}ambodia. {T}he {FBR}s selected for each target population, if adopted, would ensure a low percentage of the population was at risk of inadequate intakes for five to ten micronutrients, depending on the country and target population. {O}f the 11 micronutrients modelled, requirements for iron, calcium and folate were most difficult to meet (>= 10 of the 24 target populations), using {FBR}s alone. {T}he number of individual {FBR}s selected per set, for each target population, ranged from three to eight; and often included meat, fish or eggs, liver/organ meats, vegetables and fruits. {C}onclusions for practice {I}ntervention strategies need to increase access to nutritious foods, including products fortified with micronutrients, in {SE} {A}sia, when aiming to ensure dietary adequacy for most individuals in the population.},
