1982
Carlson, E. | Kipps, M. | Thomson, J.
"Boat people" were studied to determine if the relocation in the United Kindgom significantly affected their diet and in turn their nutritional intake and health. RDI's were used to evaluate the diet's adequacy. Areas of possible risk included a low intake of vitamin D, calcium, and iron. The typical Vietnamese diet was low in fats and high in carbohydrates from cereals, vegetables, and fruits. It was determined that the traditional Vietnamese diet was no more expensive than a British diet. Given an adequate food supply and purchasing ability, the traditional food habits of the Vietnamese are nutritionally sound in the United Kingdom. (rkm)
