简要总结
Arkansas has one of the highest rates for food insecurity and 27.7% of children in the University of Arkansas area are food insecure. In addition, more than 14% of children ages 2-4 are obese and 20% of children ages 10-17 are obese. In Northwest Arkansas, the area surrounding the University of Arkansas in Fayetteville (Washington County), the food insecurity rate for adults is 17.9% (an estimated 34,730 individuals) and the food insecurity rate for children under 17 years of age is 24.4% (12,150 individuals). In addition, the surrounding counties have similar food insecurity rates (This makes Northwest Arkansas an ideal location to conduct a pilot study focusing on egg supplementation, childhood obesity, and food insecurity (http://www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-in-america/our-research/map-the-meal-gap).

结局指标
主要结局
Body composition
时间窗: The change in body composition (e.g. ratio of lean to fat mass) will measured from baseline to 16 weeks.
Body composition will be measured using dual X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) .
Micronutrient status in plasma
时间窗: The change in micronutrient status (e.g. iron, vitamin A, vitamin B12) will be measured from baseline to 16 weeks to determine if the dietary intervention improves baseline micronutrient status.
Micronutrients status will be measured using plasma samples.
次要结局
- Height(The change in height will be measured from baseline to 16 weeks.)
- Waist-to-hip ratio(The change in waist-to-hip ratio will be measured from baseline to 16 weeks.)
- Weight(The change in weight will be measured from baseline to 16 weeks.)
