Background. It is recognised that both nutritional status and an improper diet have significant effects on weakening the outcomes of treatment in cancer patients. As a result, a lowered response to therapy and an increase in untoward side effects is often observed leading to a deteriorating quality of life. The role of an adequately balanced diet is thus regarded as being vital in supporting recovery. Objective. To assess the dietary consumption of calories, macro-elements and selected vitamins and minerals for subjects diagnosed with cancers of the breast, lungs and bones or soft tissue. Material and Methods. A survey was performed on 100 subjects diagnosed with various tumours between the September and December months of 2011 consisting of 34 with breast cancer, 33 lung cancer and 33 with bone or soft tissue cancer. The questionnaire was devised in-house, which included a three day dietary record. Results. The average daily calorific intake was found to be inadequate at 1608 kcal. In addition, abnormal proportions of energy derived from macro-elements was seen, where the contributions made by fats and proteins were somewhat high at respectively 35.1% and 16.5%, but too low in the case of carbohydrates at 52.1%. Up to 78% subjects had insufficient protein intakes, 88% showed deficiencies in consuming carbohydrates, as were 89% for fibre, 85% vitamin C, 99% calcium, 98% magnesium and 81% for iron. Conclusions. Many dietary shortcomings were observed in the studied subjects. There is therefore a need to educate persons suffering from cancer to adopt an adequate and balanced diet as means of providing vital support for treatment to be more effective.
Background. Volleyball is a team game belonging to a group of sports disciplines that involve indirect fighting. Adequate energy coverage in athletes is a crucial issue. It depends primarily on the type, intensity and duration of physical activity related to the sports discipline practiced and to the training cycle duration. The average energy requirement in sportsmen is 50% higher than that of adults. Objective. The aim of the study was to characterize the mode of nutrition, including dietary supplements and to assess somatic indices in female volleyball players of the AZS Bialystok team. Material and methods. The study involved 17 women. Research tools included a questionnaire consisting of 24-hour recall, a questionnaire survey concerning supplement intake and body composition analysis performed using a bioimpedance analyzer InBody 220. Results. Data analysis indicates that the anthropometric characteristics and body composition of the AZS Bialystok players meet the recommendations associated with the somatic features in volleyball. Daily diet of the volleyball players were of low-energy with regard to the recommendations for physically active people, with very low supply of carbohydrates and dietary fiber, excessive proportion of saturated fatty acids and dietary cholesterol, and too low content of monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. Supply of vitamins and minerals was found to be alarmingly low, especially of iron and calcium; diet supplementation was insufficient. No significant abnormalities were noted in body composition of the study athletes. However, they are recommended to increase muscle mass and slightly reduce body fat. Conclusions. Results of diet evaluation show the need for education in the field of nutrition and the necessity of further research into dietary habits among sportsmen.
Background. Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death in Poland, where many factors have been found responsible such as obesity, smoking cigarettes and a lack of physical activity. Amongst these are also nutritional determinants, which principally include the amount and types of dietary fatty acids consumed, coupled with low intakes of antioxidant-rich fruit and vegetables. Objectives. To assess nutrition in male subjects suffering from cardiovascular disease. Materials and methods. Subjects were 95 men with cardiovascular disease aged 30-90 years. Nutrition was assessed by weighed food records over 3 days. The calorific dietary intake, as well as the proportions of calories derived from dietary protein, carbohydrates and fat were also calculated; this included vitamins and minerals. Results. Only 18% subjects had a normal Body Mass Index (BMI); the rest falling into the overweight or obesity ranges. The average dietary calorific daily intakes were abnormally low at 1582 kcal/person, however the proportions of fat and protein making up this value were too high; respectively at 36% and 19%. The average daily consumption per person of cholesterol, fibre and vegetables were respectively 251 mg, 19 g and 608 g. A significant number were deficient in dietary minerals (eg. calcium, potassium and magnesium) as well as vitamins; especially A, B1 and Br Conclusions. Persons suffering from cardiovascular disease require a diet with sufficient calories for their body needs. It is also vital that the dietary sources of energy are properly balanced between protein, carbohydrates and fats as well as having appropriate intakes ofbothvitamins and minerals (eg. calcium, magnesium and potassium).
Background. The formation and development of the metabolic syndrome (MetS) is largely caused by lifestyle factors. Many studies have shown that excessive consumption of simple carbohydrates, alcohol, salt, physical inactivity and smoking increase the risk of MetS. Objective. The aim of the study was to assess the nutritional status and its relationship with selected lifestyle factors in elderly people with MetS. Material and methods. 81 people aged 51-75 participated in the study. According to the guidelines, all tests were performed on an empty stomach. The comparison of individual quantitative variables between the groups was performed using the Student's t-test for independent measurements or using the Mann-Whitney U test. The relationship between quantitative variables was verified with the Spearman's correlation coefficient. All statistical tests were based on a significance level of p<0.05. Results. The BMI, the percentage of body fat and the waist circumference significantly exceed the norm for the population in the examined persons. The responses of respondents aged 51-65 show that 36% of people sweetened their drinks, 65.6% were salted their food, 51.6% consumed alcohol, and at the age of 66-75, respectively: 47.1%, 52.9%, 41.2%. There was no correlation between sweetening beverages and salting food and the concentration of glucose and lipids. However, a positive correlation was found between the amount of salt consumed and the heart rate (r=0.28, p<0.05). In both age groups, statistically significant differences in the concentration of triglycerides depending on alcohol consumption or non-consumption were found. Due to the lack of precise data on the amount of alcohol consumed, the correlation between alcohol consumption and the concentration of glucose and lipids was not analyzed. Physical activity was not undertaken by 39.1% of patients aged 51-65 years and 41.2% of patients aged 66-75 years. In the group of elderly people without physical activity, a statistically significantly higher glucose concentration was found in relation to those who were physically active (130 mg/dl vs. 105 mg/dl; p=0.031). Patients aged 51-65 who engaged physical activity had statistically significantly lower body weight, BMI, waist circumference and lean body mass, which requires further studies. Conclusions. The anthropometric indices and parameters of MetS patients indicated disturbances in the nutritional status. Unhealthy lifestyle was shown mainly in the younger group of patients 51-65 years old (they sweetened drinks more often, salted dishes, consumed alcohol). Patients with metabolic syndrome did not undertake physical activity as often as recommended.
Określono zawartość tłuszczu oraz skład kwasów tłuszczowych w 45 czekoladach (pełnych i nadziewanych) i 15 wyrobach czekoladowych, pochodzących od 19 producentów i zakupionych na rynku warszawskim w ostatnich dwóch latach. Stwierdzono dużą zmienność zawartości tłuszczu w badanych produktach (od 6,6 do 40,0%) oraz wszystkich grup kwasów tłuszczowych, szczególnie w przypadku czekolad nadziewanych i wyrobów czekoladowych.
