[Students nutrients intake and risk of cardiovascular diseases].
The aim of this study was to assess nutrients intake and to take some anthropometric measures relevant to the risk of cardiovascular diseases. The study was conducted in spring 2008 among 93 students of SGGW aged 22-24. Obtained results indicated that the mean energy intake was 2029 kcal/per person/day (86% of recommended level), fat--75.2 g/per person/day (33% intake of energy), cholesterol 304 mg/per person/day, dietary fiber 19.6 g/per person/day, potassium 2996 mg/per person/day (85% of recommended level), sodium from products--2199 mg/per person/day and salt--8.8 g/per person/day. The mean Body Mass Index (BMI) of students was 22.0 kg/m2, fat content and water in body were respectively: 25.8% and 53.0%, the mean blood pressure was 114/76 mm Hg and pulse 74 beats/per minute. Statistical analysis showed significantly higher intake of protein (by 17%) in people with adequate body mass than in students with malnutrition, and higher intake of dietary fiber (by 25%), potassium (by 21.3%) and NaCl (by 31.1%) in obese participants than in people with adequate body mass. Data showed significantly higher fat content in body (by 26.6%) and higher systolic blood pressure (by 5.2%) in students with BMI > 25.0 kg/m2 than in students with BMI = 20.0-24.9 kg/m2. Statistical analysis showed positive correlation between value of BMI and fat content in body, intake of dietary fiber, intake of potassium and systolic blood pressure among students of SGGW. Positive correlation was obtained also between measure systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, intake of cholesterol, intake of saturated fatty acid and intake of energy among participants.
