Background. Anthropometric parameters provide a lot of information about body composition and nutritional status, regardless whether they relate to obesity or malnutrition. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between nutritional status, dietary habits and body image perception among male Polish adolescents. Material and methods. The study population primarily comprised 322 male adolescents aged 17-18 years from Western Poland, with thirty respondents however, dropping out of the study during its course. Anthropometric appraisal included body height and weight, four skinfolds thickness, circumferences of the waist, hip and arm. The percentage of fat mass and arm muscle area was calculated. The self-administrated questionnaires were used to estimate the frequency and quality of food intake, as well as the perception of body image of the studied subjects. In order to identify the similarity of nutritional habits and anthropometric parameters of adolescent males, cluster analysis was applied. Results. The mean values of body weight and height were close to 50th percentile. However, 10.7% of males were underweight, 10.7% overweight and 1.3% obese. The tendency to underestimate own level of fatness among overweight and obese subjects was observed. Over 90% of the studied subjects consider "average" silhouette as an ideal. Conclusions. Polish obese and overweight adolescents show a tendency to underestimate their level of fatness and perceive themselves as "average", despite possessing an excessive amount of body fat.
Using the method of food frequency questionnaire, energy intake and that of selected nutrients was studied in two groups of children with coeliac disease kept on gluten-free diet or on traditional diet containing gluten. The recommended dietary allowances for energy, basic nutrients, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, vitamins A, E, C and B-vitamins (thiamin, riboflavin and niacin) were generally sufficiently covered. In both groups of children the intake of energy and fat was particularly high, the intake of cholesterol and sodium was also too high. The mean intake of calcium, iron, zinc and copper was below the recommended values. No statistically significant differences were found between these groups in the intake of energy and nutrients. In about one-fourth of children with coeliac disease on gluten-free diet or on the traditional one the intake of protein, magnesium, vitamin E, vitamin C, thiamin and riboflavin was below the recommended level, and at least half these children had calcium, iron, zinc, copper and niacin intake below the recommended values.
Background. Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) is one of the most frequent digestive system diseases, of various medical signs. It is assumed that proper life style, including appropriate, rational diet is a factor helpful for treating such a disorder. Objective. The purpose of this paper was to assess the selected dietary habits, and to evaluate the nutritional value of daily food rations for patients with a mixed type of Irritable Bowel Syndrome. Material and Methods. The questionnaire survey involved a group of 32 women suffering from a mixed type of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (The Rome III Diagnostic Criteria were used to diagnose the disease). The control group was comprised of 32 healthy women. The methods used to assess the diet were divided into quantitative and qualitative ones. Results. The most frequent dietary mistakes among patients with IBS were associated with snacking sweets (83.0% of the subjects) and fruit (17.0% of the subjects) between the meals. A higher intake of sucrose was found amongst women with IBS, than in the case of the control group (p=0.0169). The analysis of the results demonstrated a significantly higher intake of water (derived from drinks and foods) amongst patients with IBS, than in the case of women of the control group (p=0.0267). An insufficient intake of plant proteins and polyunsaturated fatty acids was recorded in both groups. The supply of protein in general, animal protein, fat in general, saturated fatty acids and sodium, exceeded the recommended norm, both amongst women with IBS and women of the control group. Conclusions. The obtained examination results showed that there are significant dietary improprieties in the diet of women suffering from IBS. In order to eliminate these mistakes in the future, it seems justified to extend the knowledge on rational nutrition amongst patients with IBS.
The role of socioeconomic factors influencing the dietary habits of students of medical academies was analysed. The following factors were considered: social class, socioeconomic status, place of residence. The study was carried out among students of the medical academies in Gdansk, Poznan and Warsaw. Of the analysed factors the greatest differentiating influence on the dietary habits was exerted by the residence during the studies and economic status. Students living in students’ hostels or private rooms and having lower economic means had less adequate dietary habits. The abnormalities included, in the first place, irregularity of meals, lower number of meals with animal, protein lower frequency of consumption of fruit, vegetables and coarsely ground cereals.
The study was carried out in the academic year 1985/1986 in a randomly selected group of 320 students of the 4th year of Medical Academy in Warsaw. The quantitative assessment of the dietary habits was based on one day dietary history in 24 hours before the interview carried out individually with each patient. It was found that the diets of the students was characterized with a high consumption of products containing animal protein, fats, sugar and sweets, with a low proportion of cereals, vegetables and fruit and potatoes. The nutritional value of the average food ration agreed with the recommended daily intake of most components, with the exception of vitamin C, and in women - calcium. Men consumed significantly excessive amounts of protein, fats, iron and riboflavin. The composition and nutritional value of the daily food ration of the students living in students’ hostels was, in respect to most of the assessed parameters, less favourable in relation to students living in parental homes.
Dobrze znane są zwyczaje żywieniowe ludzi starszych zamieszkałych w różnych rejonach Szwecji. Wykazują one duże podobieństwo. W większości przypadków przeciętne spożycie energii i składników odżywczych znacznie przekracza zalecane normy spożycia; zróżnicowanie jest jednak duże, co odzwierciedlają wartości odchylenia standardowego osiągające często 25% wartości średnich. Niektóre składniki odżywcze, jak białko, wapń i witamina D, jak również pewne wskaźniki i czynniki ryzyka zasługują na szczególną uwagę.
Background. Previous studies have shown that patients suffering from depression are more likely to adversely change their eating habits (eg. through increases in appetite, comfort eating and compulsive eating), which may result in an abnormal nutritional status. Objectives. To evaluate selected dietary habits, such as the number and type of meals consumed during a normal day and comparing dietary calorific values and nutritional content between women suffering unipolar depression to those without this condition. Material and methods. Subjects were a group of 110 women aged 18-65 years consisting of a test group of 55 women undergoing treatment for unipolar depression at the Department of Psychiatry, Medical University of Bialystok and a control group of 55 women, without depression, attending an Obesity and Diet Related Treatment Centre. A study questionnaire was used to determine their eating habits along with other relevant data. The 24-hour diet recall method was used to obtain quantitative data collected on 3 weekdays and 1 weekend day; results being averaged. The calorific values and nutrient content of selected components, according to mealtimes, were evaluated using the Diet 5.0 computer programme. Results. Those patients with depression showed that the 3 meals/day model dominated whilst the 4 meals/day model was predominant in the control group. The most frequently missed meals for both groups were afternoon tea and the mid-morning meal. Abnormalities in the calorific intake and nutritional contents from various meals were observed in women suffering depression. Conclusions. It seems appropriate to recommend that those women especially suffering from depression should consult with dieticians about their changing dietary habits, particularly for achieving the proper calorific and nutritional values/ balance from their meals.
Background. Disturbances to the rhythms of the sleep-wake cycle adversely impact the quality of everyday living. Amongst those factors predisposing, causing and consolidating sleeping disorders are inappropriate nutrition and its effect on nutritional status. Objective. To survey by questionnaire the nutritional status and habits in women aged 60-90 years suffering from sleeping disorders. Materials and methods. Subjects were 141 women aged 60-90 years, attending lectures at the Szczecin Humanistic University for Seniors, of whom 110 (78%) were selected as having declared sleep disorders. Three age groups were established, of 60-65 years (n=39), 65-75 years (n=52) and above 75 years (n=19). Anthropometric measurements were performed (body mass and height) and the BMI (Body Mass Index) calculated. Calorific/energy and nutritional values of the daily dietary intakes were assessed in 330 meals using the PDCAAS calculation (Protein Digestibility-Corrected Amino Acid Score). Subjects had previously undergone a two-month pro-health nutrition course. Results. Daily sleeping disorders were declared by 24.5% women, whilst 45.4% demonstrated inappropriate nutrition. Daily dietary intakes showed insufficiencies in the following: calories, consuming assimilative carbohydrates, cellulose, potassium, calcium, vitamin D3 and water. Simultaneously, excessive intake of Na, P, Fe, Zn, Cu and vitamins: A, B2, B6, B12, niacin and C were found. The smallest quantity of nutritious foodstuffs were consumed by the eldest women (significance of p ≤0.05). The share of protein-derived calories was significantly the highest in the 66-75 age group (p ≤0.01). Leucine was the amino acid that limited the biological value of consumed protein. Such dietary faults/errors were due to an inappropriate structure of foodstuff consumption. Conclusion. The dietary intake habits of women in all the age groups were found to be unbalanced in terms of calories and nutritional value, which may affect neurotransmitter synthesis that regulates the sleep and wake cycle along with melatonin homeostasis. It is essential that elderly women are provided with pro-health education covering their nutrition as well as sleeping hygiene.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence of hyperuricaemia and gout in the population of the Tychy urban agglomeration that is only moderately exposed to ecotoxins. Energy expenditure during professional work and dietary habits were taken into account. The study was carried out in 1957 subjects, including 1391 men and 566 women, divided into 5 groups differing in the physical activity connected with their work. In all subjects the serum uric acid level was determined, what enabled isolating cases with hyperuricaemia and gout. The evaluation of dietary habits was performed. The prevalence of hyperuricaemia was found to be 37.9% in the whole population studied, and that of gout was 2.4% in men and 2.5% in women. The occupational physical activity decreased the serum uric acid level. High-calorie diet was a risk factor for hyperuricaemia.
As part of the Pol-Monica Programme realized in 1984 the dietary habits of a population of over 5 thousand persons, aged 35-64, from a rural area (Province of Tarnobrzeg) and an urban area (Warsaw) were evaluated. A significant effect of the social environment and sex was noted on the energy and nutritional value of meals and on the consumption of products in them. In the urban environment these values were usually higher than in the rural environment; besides that a higher energy value of the daily food ration and higher amounts of basic nutrients in it were noted in the diet of males than in that of females. In relation to the RDA, the intake of fats by males, especially in the Warsaw population, exceeded greatly the suggested value, while the content of vitamin C in the diet of males and females in both populations was very low, only 30-40% of the recommended value.
Background. In childhood and adolescence, adequate nutrition is vital for ensuring correct physical, mental and emotional development as well as effective learning ability. Thus, the acquiring of such healthy lifestyle behaviour is also important later in adult health. Objectives. To assess and compare the dietary habits of pupils attending middle school in Poland and the Czech Republic, who live in the border regions between these countries. Material and methods. The study tool was a nutrition questionnaire dived into a section on socio-economic status and one on detailed dietary habits. Subjects were 202 pupils recruited from Poland and 202 from the Czech Republic. Statistical analyses were performed by the Statistica Ver. 9.0 software, where the Chi2 test was used to evaluate the significance of differences between the data, taking p<0.5asthe critical value. Results. There were 47% of pupils eating 4-5 meals daily and 49% and 50% ate breakfast and lunch respectively. Milk or dairy drinks were daily drunk by 24% pupils daily and 14% ate hard or processed cheese. Fish was consumed 1-2 times weekly by 46% subjects and fruit and vegetables were daily eatenby 49% and 36% of pupils respectively. Conclusions. Pupil’s dietary habits were found to be unfavourable in both countries. There were significant differences between the countries tested, especially in how frequently breakfast and lunch were eaten, as well as in the intakes of milk and dairy products and in the consumption of fast-food and sugary drinks.
The aim of the study was to examine the influence of selected health behaviours of women living in the country, in one county on incidence of overweight and obesity. The study indicated that 50% of women living in the country were overweight or obese and that the normal value of BMI decreased with age. It was found that overweight and obese women suffered from arterial hypertension and diabetes more frequently. Women living in the country still did not attach significance to nutritional and energy value of purchased food products. It proves that there is little awareness of rational nutrition in the rural community and little interest in health effects connected with an excessive intake of specific food. Overweight and obesity did not motivate women living in the country to take more exercise. Women attempted to lose weight only through a diet without increased energy expenditure.

Background. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between eating behaviour, health perception and obesity risk awareness in adolescents. Material and methods. This cross-sectional study was completed with 579 adolescents. Stratified and simple random sampling methods were used in the selection of the high schools, classes and students. The data was collected through the information form, Dutch Eating Behaviour Questionnaire and Perception of Health Scale. Results. The mean score of health perception of the adolescents was 52.34±7.59. There was a positive relationship between total health perception score and emotional eating behaviour score of the adolescents (p=0.003). There was a negative relationship between total health perception score restricted eating behaviour (p=0.029), and external eating behaviour score (p<0.001). The emotional eating behaviour (p=0.007), external eating behaviour (p=0.001) and total eating behaviour score (p<0.001) of the adolescents who believed they had an obesity risk were found to be higher than the adolescents who believed they did not. Conclusions. The adolescents with better health perception are less affected by the environment and are able to restrict their food choices. The adolescents who think that they have an obesity risk consume more food due to their emotional state and external exposure.
The aim of this study was to determine blood levels of lead and cadmium in patients with brain aneurysms. We also estimated the influence of dietary habits on the lead and cadmium status in examined patients. The level of lead in the blood of patients with cerebral aneurysms is higher than in healthy people; and frequent consumption of jam, boiled vegetables and beverages has the greatest influence of lead content in the blood of examined patients. The level of cadmium in the blood of patients with cerebral aneurysms is similar to the control group; and the frequent consumption of raw and boiled vegetables, calces and flour products, and bacon and meat products has the greatest influence of cadmium content in the blood of patients.
Background. The formative years of adolescence are a crucial time for developing eating habits which, amongst other factors, are determined by personality traits. Objective. The aim of the study was to estimate eating behaviour in a group of middle school pupils according to gender and locus of control (LOC). Materials and methods. Subjects were n=200 boys and n=200 girls, aged 14-16 living in the Malopolska region of Poland who were surveyed by questionnaire about their eating habits. A standardised Delta questionnaire, by Drwal, was used to assess LOC. Based on the median from the raw LOC scale scores, groups of boys and girls were thereby identified as having high internal (below the median) or high external (above the median) loci of control. The Chi2 test assessed the dependence between LOC and eating habits using PQStat software ver. 1.4.2.324 adopting values of p<0.05 as being statistically significant. Results. Boys were found to consume dairy products significantly more frequently than girls (P<0.001), and likewise for sugary fizzy drinks (P<0.05). Dairy products were consumed daily by 51% girls and 70% boys (P<0.001), whilst fizzy drinks by 32% girls and 43% boys (P<0.05). Girls with an external LOC consumed breakfast (P<0.01) and second breakfast (P<0.001) less regularly, with a less frequent consumption of fruit (P<0.001) and dairy products (P<0.01). Boys having an external LOC consumed meals less frequently (P<0.01), whereas sweets and confectionery products (P<0.001) and fizzy drinks (P<0.05) were consumed more often, compared to boys with an internal LOC. Conclusions. Numerous irregularities in diet and differences in certain eating behaviour have been found in middle school students that relate to their gender and LOC. The more rational and appropriate choices were taken by subjects with an internal LOC.
