      abstract = {China is experiencing a nutrition transition which is  coextensive with its rapid economic growth, and the most  dramatic changes can be seen in food structure and  nutritional demand. However, the relationship between  income growth and changes in the demand for nutrients are  still unclear. This paper uses household survey data and a  direct method to estimate the income elasticities for 22  nutrients to fill the gap in the current literature. Our  results show that the income elasticities of most nutrients  are quite small and vary for different income groups, which  implie that economic success has different influence on  nutrition status for different families and the effect is  not substantial.},
