title: [Principal sources of dietary intake of macronutrients in the adult rural population in the Chuvash Republic].
abstract: The paper presents the results of determination of the basic sources of macronutrients and energy in the nutrition of the rural population of the Chuvash Republic. The importance of foodstuffs, the sources of nutrients, was determined by factor mathematical analysis, by estimating the weight factors. All the products used in the daily ration were studied, which permitted elucidation of the importance of individual Russia-specific products. In the rural population of the Chuvash Republic, nutrition is unbalanced and caused by both economic features and lack of knowledge about balanced diet and its value for human health. Bread, bakery goods, domestic baked products, potatoes, pork, whole milk products form the basis of their diet. The consumption of vegetables and fruits is very little and restricted to the crop grown in private farms. Sugar is used in the quantities that are considerably greater than those given in the WHO recommendations.
