The Choice of Diet for Young Children and Its Relation to Children's Growth
分析美国低收入家庭幼儿的饮食选择如何影响儿童生长，发现低收入家庭的教育和收入水平通常足以提供充足饮食，母亲教育和家庭收入对营养摄入影响不显著。
In this paper we analyze the choice of diet for young children in low income families in the United States and its relation to the children's growth. Our most important finding is that the education and income levels in low income households are generally sufficient for the provision of adequate diets for children in the household. This conclusion is based on empirical results which show that low income parents have pushed the growth of their children through choice of diet nearly as much as possible, and which also show that mother's education and family income are insignificant determinants of the nutrient intakes of children in low income households.
