Achievement of dietary goals--Kansas, 1993.
Fat intake and other dietary factors are associated with increased risk for important chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease and cancer (1-4). To characterize the nutritional behaviors of residents of Kansas, the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) conducted a nutrition assessment survey in 1993 and has used the results as a baseline for monitoring progress toward attaining Healthy Kansans 2000 (HK2000) nutrition objectives. This report summarizes selected findings from the nutrition survey relative to three HK2000 objectives: 1) increase to 35% the proportion of adults who consume five or more daily servings of fruits and vegetables; 2) increase to 40% the proportion of adults whose dietary fat intake constitutes < 30% of their total food-energy intake (a lower fat diet); and 3) increase to 70% the proportion of adults who consume > or = 600 mg of calcium daily (75% of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for adults aged > or = 25 years [5]).
