    Abstract: Background and objectives: To evaluate food and nutrient supply trajectories against nutrition recommendations and intakes by novel indices in order to alert to food insecurity. Taiwanese data are used for illustration. Methods: We used Taiwan’s food balance sheets from 1991 to 2010 to estimate the food/nutrient availabilities and adopted data from two Nutrition and Health Surveys in Taiwan (NA-HSITs) (1993-1996 and 2005-2008) to assess food/nutrient intakes. Composite age and gender weighted food guides and Dietary Reference Intakes (DRIs) were used as references for food/nutrient needs. We multiplied food/nutrient availability-needs ratios by food/nutrient intake-needs ratios to obtain food security indices (FSI)/nutrient security indices (NSI). Results: From 1997 to 2010, the availability for most food groups and nutrients decreased, with dairy and vegetables falling below nutritional recommendations in 2010. Te mean ratios of the food availabilities to needs decreased annually from 1997 for all food items with the highest ratio drop in protein-rich foods (soy/fish/meat/egg, [-0.026]) and the lowest in cereals/roots [-0.008]. For food intakes, all except cereals/roots increased between the two surveys; only vegetables met the needs, and soy/fish/meat/egg were 1.8-fold in excess in 2005-2008. For nutrient intakes, calcium for both genders and iron for women were lower than DRIs for both surveys. FSIs were problematically low for dairy (0.21, 0.20 for 2 NAHSIT periods) and fruits (0.58, 0.83), and high for soy/fish/meat/eggs (3.18, 3.63) throughout, while that for cereals/roots fell (1.10, 0.86). For NSI, calcium (0.32, 0.37) and iron (1.22, 1.68) were of the most concern. Conclusions:Te FSI and NSI capture composite information about the food supply, intakes, and recommendations. Teir combined and regular use allows food security to be monitored.
