Background. Diet-related diseases have their origin as early as in childhood; therefore, preventing them should start from the first years of life. Each assessment of dietary intake should be preceded by assessment of health status indices, especially familial diet-related diseases prevalence. Objective. The objective of this study was to analyse selected indices of health status in preschool children from Pila and their families in order to assess the risk of developing diet-related diseases. Material and methods. The studied population comprised 128 children aged 4 to 6 years, 63 girls and 65 boys, who attended two preschools in Pila. Parents filled in questionnaires concerning selected indices of health status of the children and their families. Statistical analysis was carried out by means of the IBM SPSS Statistics 21.0 computer programme. The studied children were divided according to gender. Results. Statistically significantly higher percentage of boys than girls took medicines, 41.5% vs 21.0%. As many as 49.6% of mothers and 33.1% of fathers had higher education and most of the parents assessed the economic status of the family either as good or very good. Most of the studied children took dietary supplements. The highest percentage of both girls and boys, 34.2% and 33.8%, respectively, took vitamin and mineral supplements. The prevalence of familial diet-related diseases ranged from 3.2% in the case of hyperlipidaemia to 65.6% in the case of hypertension. Conclusions. The high percentage of the studied preschoolers who took dietary supplements shows the need to educate parents about the adverse effects of excessive intake of these nutrients and about the necessity to take such supplements only on recommendation of the paediatrician. The analysed indices of health status of the studied children and their families show the need to pay much attention to balanced diet and daily physical activity in order to prevent diet-related diseases in the studied preschoolers and their families.
Background. The use of dietary supplements is widespread and can contribute substantially to total nutrient intake. However, it also generates some potential risks in the case of unreasonable and excessive use of such products. Objective. To estimate the prevalence of supplementation and the vitamin supplement contribution to total intake among Warsaw population aged 20-74 years. Material and methods. Nutrient intake and supplement use were studied in a representative sample of Warsaw population in years 2011/12 (486 men and 421 women) and in 2001 (658 and 671 respectively). The vitamin levels were analyzed in reference to the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) and the tolerable upper intake level (UL). Results. In the years 2011/12 the use of dietary supplements (vitamins and minerals) was reported by 31% men and 40% women. Vitamin intake from food showed the deficiency of vitamins D, B1 and folates and adequate intake of vitamins A, C, E, B2, B6, B12. Supplementing with vitamins D and B1 as well as folic acid contributed to better RDA fulfillment. Supplementing with vitamins A, C, E, B2, B6 and B12 was not justified because these vitamins were taken in sufficient amounts with food. In 1.3%-14.9% supplement users, the total intake of vitamins A, C, E and B6 exceeded the UL. The prevalence of supplementation of vitamins A, C and E did not change between 2001 and 2011/12, but the total intake of vitamin A in both sexes and vitamins C, E in women was significantly higher in 2001. Conclusions. The use of dietary supplements in Warsaw population was widespread and in case of some vitamins- unreasonable.
The aim of the study was to compare haematological and biochemical indices and mineral composition of bone tissue in the 4th and 5th caudal vertebra of 14-day-old Blackheaded (n = 117) and Romney Marsh (n = 100) Iambs (LK < 27 mmol/1) whose mothers had received Vitazol AD₃E and Polfamix "O" from the 60th day of pregnancy. Ht, Hb, MCHC, TSP, urea, ALT, AST as well as Na, K, Ca, Pinorg, Mg were determined in serum and bone tissue. Racial differences in the studied indices were observed, which showed that the Blackheaded lambs had lower value of Ht and Hb (P≤0.01) and higher total protein content, AST activity (P≤0.05) and body weight as compared with the Romney Marsh lambs. No effects of the applied supplements were observed as to the concentration of macroelements in the serum of either breed. On the other hand, the Blackheaded lambs, whose mothers had received Pofamix "O" during pregnancy, demonstrated higher (P≤0.05) concentration of bone tissue calcium (24.05 mmol/l in 1 g of dry weight) in comparison with control lambs (21.47 mmol/l in I g of dry weight). In the Romney Marsh lambs, the application of Vitazol AD₃E resulted in higher (P≤0.05) calcium concentration (23 .46 mmol/l in 1 g of dry weight) and higher (P≤0.05) ratio of Ca to P ( 1.59: 1) in bone tissue compared with the control lambs (respectively 19.96 mmol/l in 1 g of dry weight and 1.17: 1).
