Abstract
Published information on the nutritional status and diet of California Mexican-Americans is reviewed, and the limitations of demographic information is discussed. Economic, educational, and social factors suggest that poor health status (including nutrition) is more likely to be found in this group than other groups in California. But it is concluded that very little is known about either the nutritional status or the diet of Mexican-Americans, the largest minority group in California. Suggestions are made for applied research programs to correct this lack of knowledge.
