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.

Up till now, no critical contents have been elaborated which permit to evaluate the correct microelement nutrition on the basis of chrysanthemum stock plant leaves analysis. Experiments were carried out to determine the content of iron, zinc and copper in the leaves of chrysanthemum motherplants by studying 16 cultivars in 2000 and 13 cultivars in 2001. Analyses were carried out at 4 terms (from: February to May). The values characterizing the content of the particular components in the leaves of each cultivar of chrysanthemum were statistically elaborated. Standard deviation for the cultivars and variation coefficient for the whole population in the given year were calculated. The usability of guide values utilized for traditional methods of chrysanthemum growing in diagnostics of plant nutrition were critically evaluated. New standard ranges of the content of iron, zinc and copper in chrysanthemum motherplant leaves were elaborated.

As metabolic and multiorgan distempers arising from alcohol and medicines abuse predispose to nutritional state disorders, a simple method of nutriture assessment of hospitalized intoxicated patients is searched in order to help to improve the treatment effects. One hundred and thirten patients hospitalized in the Department of Clinical Toxicology, including 65 chronic alcoholics and 48 intoxicated with medicines were examined for the nutritional state. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) method was applied parallely with anthropometry; the examination was performed twice: on admittance and on discharge of each patient. On the basis of anthropometry, the nutritional state of alcohol and medicines intoxicated patients was unsatisfactory in 76% of examined group, with the cases of malnutrition and risk of malnutrition obviously more prevalent than overnutrition, especially in the cases of alcohol abusers. Proportions of the subjects qualified to specific groups of nutriture were dependent on the method used for nutritional assessment, and the MNA method tended to overestimate the nutritional state when compared with anthropometry but did not regard the cases of overnutrition. The MNA has to be completed with selected anthropometric measures in order to be useful in nutriture assessment of young adults.

Background. The widespread and increasing occurrence of obesity, hypertension and associated disease has necessitated serial testing in order that risks of contracting such conditions become minimised through appropriate therapy and prevention. Many studies report that nutritional factors significantly affect the aetiology of hypertension and obesity that include mineral uptake. There are only a few studies however which are focused on the body’s changing mineral content during pharmaco-therapeutic treatment. Objectives. To determine concentrations of minerals in the hair and urine of hypertensive patients in conjunction with assessing their nutrition. Material and Methods. Subjects were 17 patients presenting with essential hypertension and 18 healthy controls. Atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) was used to measure Mg, Ca, Fe, Zn and Cu in the hair and urine on a Zeiss AAS-3 instrument. Dietary mineral intakes were assessed by interview over 24 hours prior to the analysis. Results. The hypertensive group had significantly lower urine concentrations of Ca and Mg as well as Mg and Zn in hair. Urinary zinc excretion was significantly increased in this group compared to controls, but dietary intakes of Cu were reduced. The dietary mineral intakes were found to be unrelated to the concentrations of such minerals in the hair and urine. Conclusions. Compared to controls, excretion of Ca and Mg were reduced in hypertensive subjects, whereas Zn excretion was higher, and Mg and Zn were relatively low in the hair. Daily dietary intakes of Cu were also reduced in the hypertensive.

Optimal nutrition of sugar beets at critical growth stages is one of the crucial factors for the achievement of their highest yield potential. In the present study, it was presumed that reduced systems of sugar beet cultivation had no effect on the plants’ nutritional status at critical growth stages, on their yield or technological quality. In 2012-2013, two series of one-factorial field experiments with different beet crop husbandry were carried out in order to verify this hypothesis. The cultivation systems of sugar beet crops differed in the postharvest cultivation technology, mulch types and seedbed tillage. Conservation tillage systems were compared with the control treatment, which represented the conventional cultivation system with an application of manure and 35 cm deep autumn ploughing. The plant nutritional status assessment was carried out at two dates corresponding to the following growth stages: BBCH 16/17 (6-8 fully unfolded true leaves) and BBCH 39/40 (row closing). Regardless of the methods of tillage or the year of observation, the results showed that the plants at BBCH16/17 stage were well-nourished with macroelements but malnourished with microelements, mainly iron and zinc. The microelement deficiency in the plants was a result of adjusted soil reaction, which varied from slightly acidic to neutral. At the BBCH 39/40 stage, there was a decreasing trend in the content of leaf macronutrients in the no-tillage systems treatments compared to the conventional tillage with the ploughing depth to 35 cm and manure application. The reduced tillage systems in sugar beet cultivation did not result in either a yield decrease or a worse technological quality of roots. The experimental factor had no significant effect on the content of molassegenic compounds in beet roots. A decreasing trend was observed in the content of α-amino nitrogen and potassium when compared to the traditional cultivation system. The study showed that the choice of a cultivation technology is of secondary importance as long as the plant grows in optimal conditions resulting from an appropriate site selection.

Background. During adolescence teenagers undergo dynamic physical and mental changes which are accompanied by an increasing interest in changes to their external appearance. Often teens are concerned about such changes, leading to attempts at managing body mass reduction. Adolescent slimming more commonly arises due to a subjective appraisal of body mass rather than using any objective BMI indicators. Objective. To evaluate nutritional status of 13 year old boys and girls living in Szczecin, Poland and to analyse the methods used for achieving body mass reduction. Materials and Methods. Subjects were 1,342 adolescents consisting of 679 girls and 663 boys. Nutritional assessment was performed by anthropometric measurements; calculated BMI (Body Mass Index) and WC (Waist Circumference index). A questionnaire was also used to determine how the subjects lost body mass, their satisfaction levels, mood changes and physical activity. Results. Only 73% subjects had an adequate/normal nutritional status. It was found that half of those declaring that they had used various means of losing body mass (13.04%), of whom the majority were girls, had normal BMI indicators. The most frequently used method of losing body mass were; reducing foodstuff portions and dishes, abstaining from dinner, 1-3 starvation days, increasing physical activity, reducing sweets consumption, abstaining altogether from sweets and increasing fruit and vegetable consumption. Slimming diets were undertaken by 13.1% subjects, consisting mainly of 1000-1300 kcal diets, vegetarian diets or ones recommended by a physician. Conclusions. Adolescents living in Szczecin showed similar rates of adopting slimming diets for reducing body mass when compared to other regions of Poland and the rest of Europe. The methods used for this purpose were mainly either antior pro-healthy nutritional behaviour, but less often using physical activity or through slimming diets. It thus appears that monitoring nutritional status in adolescents, as well as providing education in pro-healthy nutrition, is necessary.

Yields of oilseed rape harvested by farmers in Poland are usually much below the attainable potential of currently cultivated varieties, mainly because of the insufficient supply of nutrients during the yield foundation period, which determines the final number of secondary branches. This situation is typical of whole Poland, but may take place even on farms where high yields are harvested, for example in 2007. In 2006, 2007 and 2008, the year effect of multi-micronutrient fertilizers on yield of seeds, elements of yield structure and macronutrient content was studied. Multi-micronutrient fertilizers were applied twice over oilseed rape foliage during its pre-anthesis growth (BBCH45 and 53). In 2007, due to a drought in April, the harvested yields of seeds were below the country’s average. However, in each year of the study, a significant increase in the seed yield owing to the foliar application of multi-micronutrient fertilizers was found. The increase in the yield of seeds, averaged for the three years, reached 0.486 t ha–1 for the NPK+MiMo treatment (full set of micronutrients) and 0.36 t ha–1 for the NPK + Mi treatment (without molybdenum). The increments of the oilseed rape yield resulted from an increased number of developed secondary branches. This yield-forming element was an indirect result of the application of multi-micronutrient fertilizers, which affected the nitrogen economy by oilseed rape plants during the foundation period of their growth. At the same time, the increase in seed yield was significantly modified by the total number of developed pods, which is shaped during the yield-forming period of oilseed rape crop growth. Under conditions of the study, the magnesium content in secondary branches was found to be an element significantly correcting their number, thus increasing the yield of seeds.

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 effect of inert media and fertilization levels on nutrition status of green house tomato cv. ‘Maeva F₁’ was investigated. Mean microelement content was: 118.5 mg Fe, 51.7 mg Zn, 269.0 mg Mn and 11.43 mg Cu kg⁻¹ of dry mass of the index parts of the tomato (9–10 leaf form the top). No significant effect of rockwool, expanded clay and polyurethane foam on microelement contents was found in the index parts of the greenhouse tomato, except for zinc whose content was significantly higher in the leaves of the plants grown in rockwool and polyurethane foam than in expanded clay. Fertilization levels did not affect significantly the content of iron, manganese and copper in the index parts, except for zinc whose content lowered at higher fertilization level. High tolerance of the tomato plants to zinc and manganese content in feeding solutions was indicated. No phytotoxicity of zinc nor manganese was found at the content of 2.01 mg Zn and 1.78 mg Mn dm⁻³ of water or feeding solution.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the nutritional status of 16-18-year-old youth, from the Kuiavia-Pomerania region, on the basis of somatic parameters. The research included 155 girls and 137 boys, attending second and third classes of secondary schools with vocational or general education profile. The nutritional status evaluation was made on the basis of measurements of: body mass and height, skinfolds thickness, arm, waist and hips circumference and the calculated indices: BMI and AMC. The results obtained were interpreted individually with reference to somatic development indices worked out for Warsaw adolescents by Palczewska and Niedźwiecka [2001]. The mean values of somatic parameters obtained in the study for the youth of the Kuiavia-Pomerania indicate proper body sizes, i.e. body height and mass according to age and mass-to-height ratio. Moreover excessive adiposity and too low muscle mass of the studied youth were stated. Such disproportions in body composition were also revealed for youth with undernutrition and overweight. The results obtained suggest the occurrence of irregularities in eating habits and/or improper way of life of the youth, including low physical activity.

The study was aimed at determining differences in the content of carbohydrates as well as fat and its constituents in diets of 10-15-year-old children characterised by different nutritional status and originating from small towns of the central-eastern Poland. The study demonstrated that the diet of overweight and obese children (BMI>90 ptc) compared to that of the thin children (BMI<10 ptc) was characterised by a higher mean content of fats (32.5 cal% vs. 30.5 cal%), a lower concentration of carbohydrates (54.8 cal% vs. 56.8 cal%), a lower mean ratio of polyunsaturated to saturated fatty acids (0.36 vs. 0.45), and a higher mean content of cholesterol (343 mg/24 h vs. 298 mg/24 h). The linolic acid:α-linolenic acid ratio as well as the vitamin E:linolic acid ratio were alike in all groups examined. From the point of view of the prevention of ischaemic heart disease, it seems that the diet of children with overweight and obesity had more features facilitating atherogenesis than the diet of thin children. The results obtained may also indicate relationships between nutritional status (estimated on the basis of BMI and body adiposity) and diet composition, i.e. indirectly, eating patterns of the children analysed.

The aim of this study was to assess the variation in levels of glucose and selected peptide hormones (insulin, leptin and ghrelin) in blood serum of young adults, depending on their nutritional status. Investigations were conducted with the participation of 18 persons, which were divided into three groups characterised by different nutritional status – BMI: <20 kg/m2, 20–25 kg/m2 and >25 kg/m2. Blood samples were collected from each examined person before they have eaten and next blood serum levels were determined for glucose, insulin, leptin, active and total ghrelin. Significant (p<0.05) inter-group differences were shown in leptin concentration, with the highest values of this parameter shown in the group of overweight persons (31.68±23.29 ng/cm3), while the lowest for individuals with BMI<20 kg/m2 (5.81±4.57 ng/cm3). Statistically significant correlations were found between BMI and leptin level (r=0.56, p<0.05), the share of fat mass and levels of insulin (r=0.52, p<0.05) and leptin (r=0.81, p<0.001), as well as the mean skinfolds thickness and the concentration of insulin (r=0.47, p<0.05) and leptin (r=0.63, p<0.01).
