title: [Consumption of lipids in the university population of Spain, evaluation of the hepatic profile and of serum cholesterol].
abstract: In the present study we tried to characterise the diet of university students in Northwest Spain, paying particular attention to lipids and fibre intake. We administered a 24 hour recall dietary-habits questionnaire. Saturated and monounsaturated fats predominated, with the intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids being considerably lower. Mean daily cholesterol intake was in most cases in excess of the recommended maximum and mean fibre intake showed a considerable variation among individuals. The obtained hepatic profile is found within normal range. The calories provided by the diet result adapted in half of the studied population approximately, while the fourth part does not cover the recommended quantity. These results could be considered a risk in the future.
