title: [Changes in dietary habits and selected cardiovascular risk factors of the Warsaw population over the 5-year observation period (1993-97/98)].
abstract: The aim of the study was to characterise changes in dietary habits and cardiovascular risk factors of the Warsaw cohort population over a 5-year observation period. Two Warsaw population samples (249 men and 259 women), aged 35-64, were surveyed in 1993 and resurveyed in years 1997/98. Over a five-year observation period, daily dietary cholesterol decreased from 363 mg to 319 mg in men and from 263 mg to 232 mg in women, the percentage of energy from fat decreased from 38.8% to 34.7% in men and from 37.1% to 31.2% in women, the percentage of energy from saturated fatty acids from 13.6% to 11.7% and from 12.9% to 10.5% respectively. These changes resulted in a significant reduction in atherogenicity of the average diet as expressed by Keys score. Intakes of vitamins B1 and B2, calcium, magnesium and iron was consistently below Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDA) for the Polish population. Participants of both genders consumed significantly greater amounts of total bread (35%), milk (50%) and butcher meat products (22%). In the same time increase of HDL-cholesterol level (average of 2.0 mg/dl in men and 3.1 mg/dl in women) and decrease of LDL-cholesterol by 5 mg/dl in men was noted.
