title: [Selected nutritional behaviours in adults of differentiated nourishment pattern].
abstract: The aim of the work was to analyse the selected nutritional behaviours in the adults of differentiated nourishment pattern. The research comprised 90 people of a traditional pattern of nourishment, 86 lactoovovegetarians and 32 vegans aged 20-30. The average vegetarian practice was 6.5 years and vegan 2.9 years. A specially designed questionnaire survey was used in this study. Lactoovovegetarians most frequently declare the consumption of 4.5 meals daily (37%) and vegans--1.2 (24%). The group of people who consume meals with most regularity are vegetarians (nearly 63%) and the least--the people of a traditional style of nourishment. A more frequent consumption of whole-meal bread (4-7 times a week) is declared by 1/4 people of a traditional pattern of nourishment and a half of vegetarians, more often lactoovovegetarians (58%) than vegans (47%). The highest consumption of gruel was reported among lactoovovegetarians and vegans. Fresh fruit is consumed daily or at least 4 times a week by almost all the vegans (94%), over 2/3 lactoovovegetarians and 60% of traditional people. Pulses are consumed 4-7 times a week by 53% vegans, 1-3 times weekly by nearly 2/3 lactoovovegetarians, but 60% people of a traditional feeding pattern do not consume them every week. The people of a traditional pattern of nourishment assess their way of nourishment as the weakest one and express their highest disbelief in its efficiency in the prevention of diet-dependent ailments.
