They were 16.3 ± 1.4 years old (12-18), beginning pregnancy controls at 12.6 ± 3.7 weeks (7-20); nutritional status showed 28% deficit of weigth for height and gestational age. Dietary history records revealed daily intakes of: Zn 6.8 ± 2.7 mg, or 0.81 mg/MJ (42.5% of reccomendations); iron 18.3 ± 7.6 mg or 8.9 mg/1000 Kcal (60% of RDA) with 47.5% of animal origin; vegetal fiber 5.3 ± 2.8 g.
