We are also very grateful to the Mayor and Council of Kugaaruk, Nunavut and Kangiqsujuaq, Quebec, as well as the Chief and Council of Fort Severn, Ontario for their leadership and commitment to the pilot projects and to the interviewers for their hard work. [...] The program desirable in this population, it seemed corrects for day-to-day variation, inter- appropriate to recalculate vitamin A intake individual variation and day of week once the RAE values became available and variation generating an adjusted mean and to take advantage of new vitamin A and D median intake and calculates the values published for country foods. [...] Such a low intake in the pilot communities is estimated that 60% of Inuit women between surprising in view of the country food the age of 15 and 40 had a vitamin A intake sources of Vitamin A available in these below the EAR, whereas based on the communities. [...] Because the absorption of calcium and phosphorus from scientific data are not available to estimate the diet and the prevention of rickets in an EAR, an Adequate Intake (AI) of 5 ìg children and osteomalacia in adults. [...] For lactating women in Kugaaruk, the vitamin D intake estimates were calculated without adjusting for the day of the week but standardizing the variance to the variance of the first recall since a couple of individuals reported a very high intake and the resulting median after adjusting for the day of the week was not reasonable.
