Background. Antioxidant vitamins such as alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E), ascorbic acid (vitamin C), and beta-carotene (provitamin A), play a significant role in protecting the body from an excess of free radicals. The vitamin content of the diet is thus very important. Objective. To assess whether the dietary intake of vitamins A, C and E is adequate in a selected group of adolescents living in Warsaw. Material and methods. The mean vitamin consumption was estimated using three-day dietary records whilst vitamin contents of selected foodstuffs were obtained from Food Composition Tables. Both were related to Polish nutrition standards applied to adolescents; i.e. EAR (Estimated Average Requirement) for vitamins A and C and AI (Adequate Intake) for vitamin E. Results. Dietary vitamin C in adolescents and vitamin E in girls were around 18-25% lower than that recommended. Diets that were deficient in vitamins C and E were recorded in 47% to 67% adolescents. Conclusions. It is therefore necessary to increase the consumption of vegetables and fruit which provide a valuable dietary source for these vitamins.

Wprowadzenie. Witaminy antyoksydacyjne – alfa-tokoferol (witamina E), kwas askorbinowy (witamina C) i beta-karoten (prowitamina A) pełnią istotną rolę w ochronie organizmu przed wolnymi rodnikami, dlatego odpowiednia zawartość tych witamin w diecie ma istotne znaczenie. Cel. Celem badań była ocena poziomu spożycia witamin A, C i E z produktami spożywczymi w wybranej grupie młodzieży zamieszkałej na terenie Warszawy. Materiał i metody. Średnie spożycie witamin oszacowano na podstawie badań przeprowadzonych metodą trzydniowego bieżącego notowania spożycia produktów spożywczych oraz przy zastosowaniu tabel wartości odżywczej produktów spożywczych i odniesiono do polskich norm dla młodzieży ustalonych na poziomie średniego zapotrzebowania (EAR) dla witamin A i C oraz na poziomie wystarczającego spożycia (AI) dla witaminy E. Wyniki. Zawartość witaminy C w diecie młodzieży oraz witaminy E w diecie dziewcząt była o około 18-25% niższa od zalecanej. Diety ubogie w witaminę C i E spożywało około 47-67% młodych osób. Wnioski. Istnieje potrzeba zwiększenia spożycia warzyw i owoców, jako ważnych źródeł tych witamin w diecie.
