title: [Evaluation of lycopene intake in daily food rations of women from the Lower Silesia region].
abstract: The aim of this study was to assess lycopene intake in daily food rations of women (n = 725) from the Lower Silesia region. The data on the lycopene intake were collected using 24-hour recall and diet history questionnaire. The intake of lycopene was not too low. The average lycopene contents in the daily food rations of 725 women from Lower Silesia region was 7.5 mg. The highest lycopene intake was found in the food daily rations of women with BMI > 30. In examined group of women low knowledge on the importance of the role of lycopene in health was noticed. Educational interventions are required to inform women and to increase lycopene intake among them.
