| dc.description.abstract | During the transition period from childhood to adolescence, poor dietary habits are often established which are hard to reverse later in life. Evidence suggests that early child nutrition sets the stage for adult chronic diseases. For this reason global efforts are focusing on addressing nutritional problems in the first 1000 days beginning from conception to 24 months of child’s age. The Ghanaian diet of unprocessed cereal meals, fresh fruits, and leafy vegetables is being replaced by high fat diets and refined cereals. The survey assesses the nutritional status of school children in the two largest cities of Accra and Kumasi. | en |
