title: Ten-year trends in compliance with the current Spanish nutritional objectives in Balearic Islands adult population (2000-2010).
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The Balearic Islands, a well-known Spanish tourist destination for Europeans, is undergoing profound social events, which are reflected in the current food patterns of this population. The aim of this study was to assess 10-year trends (2000-2010) in compliance with the current Spanish nutritional objectives among the adult population of the Balearic Islands.
  
  
  METHODS
  Two independent cross-sectional dietary surveys were carried out among the adult population (16-65 y) of the Balearic Islands in 2000 (n = 1200) and 2010 (n = 1350). Dietary habits were assessed by means of two non-consecutive 24-h diet recalls.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The proportion of adults complying with the nutritional objectives for consumption of dietary fiber, folate, saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, carbohydrate, and fruit has increased over the 10-y span. In 2009 and 2010, 25% of participants met the nutritional objectives for folate, calcium, monounsaturated fatty acid, cholesterol, and fruit. These results are not affected by age, occupational status, or birthplace.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The percentage of compliers with the Spanish nutritional objectives has increased for 6 to 11 items over the 10-y period. A reduction in saturated fatty acid and cholesterol intake, and an increase in dietary fiber, carbohydrate, fruit, vegetables, folate, and calcium intake should be recommended.
