Extract: Food consumption patterns of 149 families in Soongnern District, Nakornajasima Province, Thailand, were determined by 7-day dietary records. Food items were grouped by ranking from the most to least frequent intake per week, fish (fresh, dry and salted), vegetables, fermented fish, beef-pork-poultry, eggs and spices. Consumption patterns in the present study were shown to differ from results obtained 10 years earlier (1970). As examples, fermented fish, which had been a favorite food ranking third in the past, dropped to last place. On the other hand intake of beef-pork-poultry and eggs increased. The trend of change in food consumption patterns may be due to the changing social situation during the past decade. (author)
