Evaluation of nutritional status of male population from mining vocational schools in the Lublin coal basin.
The basic nutritional mistake in Polish population at considerably rare deficiency of proteins and calories is incorrect composition of diet with the excess of animal fat and carbohydrates. Social and economic changes which influence living conditions result in the change of diet whose trends are not always correct. The problem is the quality of food products, contamination of pollution due to industrialization and the use of chemicals in agriculture, and inadequate proportion in the essential food components or supply of the indispensable trace elements. The other problem is overnutrition leading to obesity which is one of risk factors in civilization diseases (8, 11). The nutritional status depends on the level of education and economic situation of different social groups. It is expected that among the pupils of vocational mining schools who usually come from numerous peasant and working class families nutritional mistakes may occur very often. It denotes both malnutrition and incorrect proportion in consumption of proteins, animal fats and carbohydrates. On the other hand, the expected changes in social and economic status due to a good job create new conditions for proper nutrition. An additional factor which should be taken into account are nutritional requirements resulting from specific character of underground work.
