Manganese Dietary Exposure Estimates for Children Aged 6 Months to 5 Years

Total dietary exposure estimates of manganese (Mn) in milligrams per day for children from 6 months to 5 years old. The dataset includes estimates based on mean or median dietary intakes supplemented with products containing measurable Mn content. It was authored by Seth H. Frisbie and last updated on March 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling manganese intake levels in children based on age-specific dietary estimates.
• Assessing the contribution of supplements to total manganese exposure in pediatric populations.
• Comparing mean and median dietary intake methodologies for micronutrient exposure analysis.

Strengths

• Data is focused on a specific age range (6 months to 5 years) for a defined nutrient.
• File is small (9.5 KB) and in a common format (XLS) for easy inspection.
• Dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open reuse.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, limiting suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
