title: [Intake of selected nutrients by perceived control over life, over health and general control in men and women aged 45-64, residents of Kraków].
abstract: The aim of this study was to compare mean intake of energy and selected nutrients in groups with high perceived control over life, over health, general control and the remaining part of population. The study sample was 3544 men and women aged 45-4, residents of Kraków, randomly selected by sex, age and districts. Data on perceived control was collected by using 9-items questionaire. Nutrient intake was assessed by 24-hour recall. After adjustment to age and education, in men with high perceived control over life mean intake of witamin C was higher (56.3 mg) than in the remaining men (49.0 mg). Compared with other women, women with high perceived control over health had lower mean intake of total energy (6403.9 kJ vs 6831.9 kJ), proteins (56.3 g vs 60.1 g), carbohydrates (217.4 g vs 229.6 g), fat (55.1 g vs 59.8 g) and sodium (1347.5 mg vs 1446.6 mg). In women with high general control, there was lower mean energy intake (6403.9 kJ vs 6773,9 kJ) and SFA intake (18.3 g vs 20.1 g) than in the remaining women. P/S ratio was higher in women with high general control (0.55) then in other women (0.49). In men with high general control mean intake of carbohydrates was lower (292.3 g vs 310.3 g) then in the remaining men. There was no difference in nutrient intake in men with high perceived control over health and in women with high perceived control over life than in remaining part of the sample. In the study sample, high perceived control was related to more favourable diet in women, less effect was observed in men.
