Background. It is well known that high-energy diet, rich in fat and carbohydrates, increases the risk of obesity. Preschool age is an important period to acquire the eating habits continued later in adulthood. Therefore, evaluation of child nutrition in kindergartens is especially important in the prevention of future obesity. Objectives. To determine the energy value and energy density of meals consumed by children in kindergartens in Niš (Serbia), including the different types of food, in respect to a probable risk of obesity. Material and methods. The study had been conducted in the years 1998-2012. Three-hundred samples of the meals were gathered and analysed, and the amount of selected food groups used to prepare the meals in kindergartens was calculated (weight, protein, fat and carbohydrate content) in the accredited laboratory of the Public Health Institute in Niš according to the ISO 17025 recommendation. Results. The mean energy value of meals was 978.9 kcal (range: 810 – 1144 kcal). The energy density was low (mean: 1.02 kcal/g, range: 0.92 – 1.42 kcal/g) and decreased over the years, what would imply a reduction in the risk of obesity. The intake of same high-energy food products, such as fats and oils as well as sweets (13,9% and 7,3%, respectively) was higher compared to low-energy foods (fruits – 5.2% and vegetables – 10.8%). Conclusions. The results of our study indicate that children in kindergarten in Niš, in general, were properly nourished in total energy content. The energy value and energy density of the meals consumed did not pose a risk of developing obesity. However, the distribution of food groups differentiated by the energy density level was unfavourable; the deficit of low-energy foods was observed. Planning the child nutrition in kindergartens, with laboratory control of meals, may be an effective strategy in adequate energy intake and prevention of obesity. Providing the higher amount of low-energy foods (fruits and vegetables) in meals in kindergartens is recommended.
Background. Monitoring energy intake in preschool children is the basis for planning intervention programmes. The published articles in which energy intake in Polish preschool children was reported are still very few. Objective. The objective was to assess energy intake in preschool children from Piła, including energy intake and intake of energy from macronutrients. Material and Methods. Energy intake was assessed from weighed food records kept over seven consecutive days by preschool staff and parents of 122 children, 61 girls and 61 boys, aged 4 to 6 years. Energy intake was calculated using Dieta 4.0 and Microsoft Excel computer programmes. Weight and height were measured and BMI was calculated. Statistical analysis was carried out using the IBM SPSS Statistics 21 computer programme. Results. Energy intake was the lowest in underweight children, 1286 kcal, and the highest in obese children, 1636 kcal. Energy intake (kcal, kJ, kcal/kg body weight, kJ/kg body weight) and intake of energy from sucrose (%) were statistically significantly higher in boys compared to girls, 1546 vs 1428 kcal, 6477 vs 5985 kJ, 77 vs 71 kcal/kg body weight, 322 vs 298 kJ/kg body weight, and 21.2 vs 19.7%, respectively. Intake of energy from starch was statistically significantly higher in girls compared to boys, 24.8 vs 23.4%. It is noteworthy that energy intakes from fat and saturated fatty acids were above the recommendations in 71.3% and 98.4% of the studied preschool children, respectively. Energy intakes from polyunsaturated fatty acids and available carbohydrates were below the recommendations in 98.4% and 57.4% of the studied preschool children, respectively. Conclusions. Energy intakes from macronutrients in the studied preschool children need urgent modification to prevent the risk of future diet-related diseases. Preschoolers’ parents and preschool staff should be educated about nutrition recommendations for children, especially about dietary risks of diseases and impaired neurodevelopment.
Background. Actions to the prevention of overweight and obesity should be first addressed to the youngest population and their parents, guardians as well as teachers. The major objectives of prevention and treatment of overweight and obesity programme should be focused on modification of nutritional habits and promotion of physical activity. Objective. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status, intake of energy and macronutrients as well as the physical activity of students from orphanages in Krakow. Material and methods. Study was performed in 5 orphanages located in Krakow (Poland), which were under control of Social Welfare Centre in Krakow. The study involved 153 students, 67 girls and 86 boys, aged from 7 to 20 years. Nutritional status was assessed by anthropometric measurements. The protein and total fat content in diets was measured by chemical analyses and carbohydrates were calculated by difference. Physical activity level of children and adolescents was assessed by questionnaire. Results. Over 80% of boys and about 90% of girls had a normal body mass. Students have spent their free time on additional physical activity from 1h 34 min/day to 5 h 12 min/day. They also have spent their free time on sedentary activities on average 4 h/day. Daily diets of students did not met recommendations for energy, carbohydrates and fats. Intake of protein was too high and exceeded the estimated average requirement even over three times. Conclusions. Despite the insufficient intake of fat and carbohydrates, students generally showed a proper BMI value. This suggests that excess intake of protein was used for maturation process and was additional source of energy. Reported additional physical activity was satisfactory.
Background. Adequate nutrition and energy intake play key rule during the training period and recovery time. The assessment of athlete’s energetic needs should be calculated individually, based on personal energy expenditure and Sense Wear PRO3 Armband (SWA) mobile monitor is a useful tool to achieve this goal. However, there is still few studies conducted with use of this monitor. Objectives. To assess individual energy needs of athletes by use of SWA and to determine whether their energy intake fulfils the body’s energy expenditure. Material and Methods. Subjects were 15 male students attending Military University of Technology in Warsaw, aged 19-24 years, practicing aerobic. The average body mass was 80.7 ± 7.7 kg and average height was 186.9 ± 5.2 cm, (BMI 23.09 ± 1.85 kg/m2). Assessment of physical activity and energy expenditure (TEE) was established using SWA, which was placed on the back side of dominant hand and worn continuously for 48 hours (during the training and non-training day). The presented results are the average values of these 2 days. Assessment of athletes’ physical activity level was established by use of metabolic equivalent of task (MET) and number of steps (NS). Estimation of energy intake was based on threeday dietary recalls (two weekdays and one day of the weekend), evaluated using the Polish Software ‘Energia’ package. Results. The average TEE of examined athletes was 3877 ± 508 kcal/day and almost half of this energy was spend on physical activity (1898 ± 634 kcal/day). The number of steps was on average 19498 ± 5407 and average MET was 2.05 ± 2.09. The average daily energy intake was 2727 ± 576 kcal. Conclusions. Athletes consumed inadequate amount of energy in comparison to their energy expenditure. Examined group did not have an adequate knowledge about their energy requirement, which shows the need of nutritional consulting and education among these athletes.
The aim of the study was to evaluate daily dietary intake of energy and protein by predialysis patients with chronic renal failure (CRF) receiving a supplement containing essential amino acid ketoanalogues. The study was carried out on 60 patients with CRF of different etiology. Low intake of energy (88% of tested patients) and animal protein (23% of tested patients) were observed, whereas total protein level was too high (33% of tested patients). As a consequence, the analyzed diets were not properly balanced. Our data strongly suggest that constant dietician care is essential to correct protein and energy intake in patients with CRF and can protect them against malnutrition and progression of CFR.
The aim of the study was to assess energy, protein, fat and carbohydrates intake by centenarians living in Warsaw. The study was conducted between the years 2001 and 2004. An average dietary energy covered only approximately 81% of Polish RDA for elderly people over 60 years of age, and for 7 persons (1 male and 6 females) was lower than 66.7% of the RDA. Protein and fat intake fully covered nutritional recommendations for these nutrients with exception of 2 women for protein and 4 women for fat. The energy distribution figures were slightly higher for protein and fat, while for carbohydrates lower than recommended. It is very difficult to assess whether energy and nutrient intake by centenarians were adequate because of a lack of nutritional recommendations for such old people. It is necessary to determine the RDA values for a group of 85+ years old.
Background. According to the WHO data in January 2007, 14 million children were overweight in the countries of the European Union. The problem of childhood obesity should be considered as one of the biggest challenges facing twentyfirst century nutrition and pediatrics. Objective. The aim of this study was to show the correlation between energy, basic nutrients intake and BMI of school children aged 10-12 years, using Pearson’s correlation coefficient. Material and Methods. 169 pupils (69 from Krakow and 100 from Skawina), aged 10-12, participated in these studies. The studies were approved by the Board of Education, school principals and the parents. On the basis of measurements of weight and height, body mass index (BMI) was calculated. 24 h dietary recalls were collected in the spring and autumn of 2006, for 4 selected days per week. Results. Intake of energy, total carbohydrate and fat did not met requirements, but intake of protein was too high. Proper weight, based on BMI values in the population aged 10-12, were found in 74.9% of boys and 81.2% of girls. Deficiencies in body weight occurred in 4.2% and 3.4%, overweight in 15.6% and 10.0% while obesity in 5.3% and 5.4% of respondents. Conclusions. Inverse correlation was found between the implementation of standards for energy and BMI values of children. It was observed positive correlation between the consumption of total and animal protein and BMI value.
Badano wpływ mono glutaminianu sodu (MSG) na rozwój, intensywność i czas trwania zjawiska sytości sensorycznie specyficznej oraz pobranie energii u młodych osób obojga płci. Wykazano, że dodatek do makaronu z sosem 0,25% MSG nie miał istotnego wpływu na pobranie energii z tym posiłkiem, które było istotnie wyższe u mężczyzn niż u kobiet. Spożycie makaronu z sosem bolońskim bez lub z dodatkiem MSG wywołało zjawisko sytości sensorycznie specyficznej o podobnym natężeniu i czasie trwania u badanych osób niezależnie od płci.
Wykorzystując analizą przeżycia stwierdzono istotnie wyższe ryzyko zgonu wśród mężczyzn, którzy w mniejszym zakresie realizowali normy /lub zalecenia żywieniowe/ na węglowodany ogółem, błonnik pokarmowy, witaminy В1 , В6, PP oraz potas, fosfor, magnez, cynk i miedź, a także na tłuszcz ogółem, nasycone i jednonienasycone kwasy tłuszczowe.
