ARCHIVED - Percentage of Adults with a Usual Intake of Zinc below the Estimated Average Requirement (EAR) in Canada
Please Note: The CCHS 2.2 does not include data from the Northwest Territories, Yukon Territory or Nunavut. However, the target population covered by the survey represents approximately 98% of the population of the 10 provinces and is thus considered a national survey.
A map of females zinc intake is unavailable due to extreme sampling variability in some provinces.
