[Evaluation of collective feeding in a group of school children with mental disability in special educating childcare centres].
The aim of the research was to estimate collective feeding way of girls and boys aged 10-15 years old with mental disability of light and moderate level, the pupils of special educating childcare centres. The assessment was based on 20 decade menus introduced in Educating Childcare Centres in two regional cities of Malopolska in late autumn period (Oct.-Dec.) 2005-2007. The quantity evaluation of decade menus showed over normal energy supply (3223.2 kcal) and non-balanced supply of basic ingredients (protein and fat surplus and shortage of carbohydrates) (suitably: 118.7 g, 113.1 g, 429.8 g). Furthermore, abnormal content of vitamin A (891 microg), shortage of vitamin C (47.3 mg) and standard supply of vitamin E (10.5 mg) and B1 (1.6 mg). Content of iron (14.9 mg) fluctuated around standard supply, but particularly non-beneficial was the relation between calcium and phosphorus.
