  • Title: [Nutrients intake of the adolescents in Poland--ten years literature review (1990-2000)].
    Author: Augustyniak U, Brzozowska A.
    Journal: Rocz Panstw Zakl Hig; 2002; 53(4):399-406. PubMed ID: 12664668.
    Abstract:
    The dietary survey among adolescents (11-15 years old) performed during last decade in Poland are not representative for national level. The analysis of data obtained by 24-h recall in different regions showed that contribution of dietary fat to energy intake was too high (37-42%), while contribution of proteins (10-11%) and carbohydrates (47-52%) too low. The intake of proteins, fibre, calcium, magnesium, copper and iron (especially among girls), vitamin C and niacin did not meet the recommended levels. The results suggest that girls are more likely to have risk of nutritional deficiencies than boys as well as adolescents from rural area than from towns. Inadequate intake of nutrients during adolescence can increase risk of dietary related diseases in later life.
