This report describes the association between calorie consumption and socioeconomic status
indicators and examines the effect of BRAC's Rural Development Programme (RDP) membership
on per capita daily calorie consumption. The analysis was based on data collected from 2, 061
households in Matlab thana during April-August, 1995 under BRAC-ICDDR,B joint research
project. Socioeconomic and food consumption data were collected through home visits using
pre-tested structured questionnaires. Total household calorie consumption per day was divided
by household food consumption unit to obtain per capita daily calorie consumption. The results
revealed that average per capita calorie consumption among the study population was 1,929 kcal
(95% CI: 1,897-1,961 kcal) which is comparable to the national average of 1,943 kcal. Calorie
consumption was significantly associated with household size and land holding; occupation and
literacy of the household head; and monthly food and non-food expenditure (p<O.OS). The
proportions of households with per capita daily calorie consumption < 1, 80 5 kcal and <2, 122 kcal
were significantly lower among BRAC eligible member compared to eligible non-member
households (p<0.05). Controlling for some potential confounding factors, BRAC eligible member
households had 33% less chance to consume <1,805 kcal and 28% less to consume <2, 122 kcal
compared to the eligible non-member hollseholds (p<Q.01). In conclusion, BRAC's RDP
membership had positive effect on household level calorie consumption. However, the overall
mean calorie consumption of both the BRAC member and eligible non-member households is still
83% of the recommended level. |
