O consumo alimentar tem sido objeto de estudo sob vários aspectos e tem apresentado importante modificação, sendo explicada ora pelo próprio modelo agro-industrial brasileiro instituído ora pelo comportamento da vida urbana ora pelo nível de transferência das informações à população sobre os cuidados com a saúde e qualidade de vida. O presente estudo é o resultado de uma extensa pesquisa sobre os hábitos e consumo alimentar que, entre os dados, evidencia a participação de diversos alimentos na dieta de idosos (≥ 60 anos)selecionados em três bairros com diferentes condições de vida de Curitiba. O objetivo buscou identificar a participação e a quantificação dos alimentos no consumo diário como fonte dos nutrientes cálcio e energia. Entre os alimentos com importante participação na alimentação diária e fornecedores de cálcio foram identificados o espinafre, iogurte, pão francês, couve manteiga, mamão e leite e seus derivados. Enquanto que os alimentos consumidos que garantem a energia diária aos idosos foram o arroz branco, biscoitos, bisteca de porco, chocolate, frango assado, margarina, pão forma, vinho tinto além do açúcar refinado, leite e derivados e o pão francês. O perfil de consumo permite identificar estratégias a adequação nutricional considerando os hábitos alimentares dos idosos, como também indica o potencial ao desenvolvimento tecnológico de produtos alimentícios e alternativos nutricionais mais adequados e aceitos pelo consumidor. E, assim melhorar a qualidade nutricional da oferta de alimentos aos idosos. THE PARTICIPATION OF FOOD ON DAILY COMSUPTION AS A SOURCE OF CALCIUM AND ENERGY NUTRIENTS OF ELDERLY GROUP FROM CURITIBA CITY (PARANÁ/BR) Abstract The food consumption has been an object of study by a lot of aspects and presented as an important modification, explained sometimes by the own Brazilian agro business, sometimes by the behavior of the urban life, and sometimes explained by the of information of the population, about health care and life quality. This study is the result of a wide research about the habits and the food consumption that points the participation of a lot of nutrients on the diet of aged people (e” 60 years) from three neighborhoods with different kind of life conditions from Curitiba, Brazil. The principal intention was to identify the participation and quantification of the food from the daily consumption as a source of the calcium and energy nutrients. Among all foods with an important participation on the daily consumption and the calcium sources were spinach, yogurt, bread, cabbage, papaya and milk and dairy products. The food that guarantees the daily allowance of energy to the elderly people were the white rice, cookies, pork meat, chocolate, roast chicken, bread, butter, wine, sugar, milk and dairy products. The consumption profile allows to identifier some strategies to the nutritional adequation considering the habits of the elderly, as indicates the potential to the technology development of the food products and nutritional alternatives more adequate and accepted by the consumer and with this, improve the nutritional quality of the food offer to the elderly.

PurposeCross-cultural studies on differences in eating and consumer behavior have several limitations due to differences between countries, for example, in national health policies. Switzerland combines cultural diversity between the language regions, but with a common national health policy. Therefore, Switzerland provides an ideal framework to investigate cross-cultural eating and consumer behavior. The aim of this study was to combine food consumption, purchase data and sales data to obtain a more comprehensive understanding of cultural dietary differences.Design/methodology/approachSix national Swiss studies on food consumption, one study of food sales from the largest supermarket chain in Switzerland and one national study of food purchasing were included. The estimated marginal mean of each food category in each language region was calculated using linear regression and respective linear random effect models.FindingsIn the French- and Italian-speaking regions more fish was sold, bought and consumed than in the German-speaking region of Switzerland. In contrast, in the German-speaking region, more milk and dairy products were sold, bought and consumed. Language regions explained sales, purchase and consumption of foods, but the findings were only consistent for fish and milk and dairy products.Originality/valueIf possible limitations of cross-culture studies between countries are eliminated, cultural eating and consumer differences are still visible, even in a small country like Switzerland. For the first time, the complexity of studying food consumption, purchasing and sales is shown in one study. This indicates the importance of further studies which consider these three perspectives to better understand cultural differences in eating and consumption behavior.

Abstract Background Eating habits of childbearing age women are an important public health determinant. The inappropriate dietary pattern of women in reproductive age leads to deviations in their nutritional status with possible adverse health consequences for them and their offspring. Both malnutrition and over nutrition can adversely affect reproductive abilities of women as well as the course and outcome of a possible pregnancy. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study on dietary habits of 107 women, aged 19 to 42 years, in Varna, Bulgaria between March-December 2019. Exclusion criteria were pregnancy and lactation. A questionnaire was applied composed of questions on diet, dietary pattern, food frequency consumption, and the respondents' physical activity. The results were compared with the National Food Based Dietary Recommendations for Adults in Bulgaria. Data was statistically analysed with SPSS version 19. Results The average age of participants was 25.65 ± 7.48 years. 22.4% of the surveyed women followed no particular diet. 35.5% and 30.8% of the respondents had daily consumption of milk and dairy products respectively. Meat consumption 3-4 times a week was reported by 29.9% of the respondents. Only 1/4 of the respondents consumed fish each week. The relative share of women who did not consume fish was 10.3%. Daily consumption of fruits and vegetables was 42.1% and 57% respectively. Conclusions The majority of the surveyed women does not follow the National recommendations for consumption frequency of milk, dairy products, meat, fish, fruits and vegetables. Respondents who do not consume fish, meat or milk and dairy products are at risk of deficiencies of both micronutrients and macronutrients. It's necessary to raise awareness about healthy eating and associated health risks. Key messages Nutrition of women of childbearing age is an important factor affecting public health. Inadequate dietary habits before conception raises the risk for the course and outcome of pregnancy with consequences for offspring health.

Milk and dairy products constitute an important source of energy and nutrients for humans. Food preferences may significantly influence the actual consumption (and thus nutrition) of people at the population level. The objective of the present large-scale survey was to specify current preferences for milk and dairy products with regard to age and sex. The study was conducted across the Moravia region, Czech Republic, on a sample of 451 individuals divided into 4 age groups: children, adolescents, young adults, and elderly people. A graphic scale questionnaire was administered, with respondents rating their degree of preference for each food item by drawing a mark on a 35 mm line. Out of the 115 items in the questionnaire, 11 items represented dairy products. Data was analysed by means of a general linear model using IBM SPSS Statistics software. Preference for milk was lower in the elderly group than the other groups (P < 0.01). In children, the most preferred dairy product was cream, which was in contrast with the elderly group. Significant sex differences were only found with low-fat yoghurt (P < 0.01). The overall preference for dairy products (21.6) was lower than the average preference for all foods on the list (22.5). The cross-sectional study revealed intergenerational differences in preferences for specific dairy products, which were most marked in case of cream, processed cheese, blue cheese, and buttermilk. The knowledge of these differences might help promote more focused action at the community level directed at increasing the overall consumption of dairy products in the population.

The problem of consumer behavior in the food market is of interest to a variety of scientific disciplines, includ­ing sciences such as economics, psychology, sociology and management. The key issue in the decision-making process made by every person in the field of food consumption is the choice of proper nutrition, which seems difficult. The paper presents the level and the structure of food consumption in Poland as well as in individual provinces, with particular emphasis on Lubuskie voivodeship. Moreover, the causes of the change in food intake are shown. The main objective of the study is to assess the trends in food consumption in Lubuskie voivodeship against the changes in the pattern of food consumption in Poland. The study among inhabitants of the Lubuskie voivodeship shows that the majority of respondents purchase food taking economic factors into account. Among the most frequently consumed products are bakery and confectionery products, followed by products of animal origin, i.e. meat and meat products, whereas milk and dairy products are ranked third and fourth respectively. Two out of three respondents claim to consume vegetables. It should be noted that for the surveyed food safety is of paramount importance when buying food.

Dietary habits amongst the Spanish population are currently a relevant cause for concern, as macronutrient profiles and micronutrient intakes seem to be inadequate and globally moving away from the traditional Mediterranean dietary pattern. However, recent food consumption patterns have not been fully assessed. In the present study, our aim was therefore to describe the current food consumption from the “anthropometric data, macronutrients and micronutrients intake, practice of physical activity, socioeconomic data and lifestyles in Spain” (ANIBES) study population by assessing data defined by age and gender. The ANIBES study is a cross-sectional study of a nationally representative sample of the Spanish population. A three-day dietary record was used to obtain information about food and beverage consumption. The sample comprised 2009 individuals aged 9–75 years, plus a boost sample for the youngest age groups (9–12, 13–17, and 18–24 years, n = 200 per age group). The most consumed food group across all age segments were non-alcoholic beverages followed by milk and dairy products and vegetables. Consumption of cereals and derivatives, milk and dairy products, sugars and sweets, and ready-to-eat meals by children was significantly higher than those by the adult and older adult populations (p ≤ 0.05). Conversely, intakes of vegetables, fruits, and fish and shellfish were significantly higher in adults and older adults (p ≤ 0.05). In order to comply with recommendations, adherence to the Mediterranean dietary patterns should be strengthened, especially amongst younger population groups. Therefore, substantial nutritional interventions may be targeted to improve the Spanish population’s dietary patterns nowadays.

Relevance. The success of treatment of periodontal diseases directly depends on the patient’s response to the therapy, therefore, the characteristics of the person’s personal characteristics can affect both the effectiveness of treatment and the prevention of relapse of the disease.Purpose. To study the features of the internal picture of the disease in the process of complex treatment of adult patients suffering from chronic generalized periodontitis.Materials and methods. The generally accepted comprehensive treatment of chronic generalized periodontitis in 69 middle-aged and elderly men was carried out taking into account the personal response of patients Solovyov «Psychosensory-anatomical-functional maladaptation syndrome».Results. When patients were discharged from the hospital, there was a difference in the phenomena of maladaptation among the elderly and middle-aged: in middle-aged people, sufficient adaptation to the conditions of existence was determined; in elderly people, due to the existing comorbid pathology, a state of maladaptation was diagnosed, which was caused by the presence of complaints of defects in the dentition.Conclusion. In elderly people, as soon as possible after completion of treatment in a hospital, dental rehabilitation cannot be considered completed, which requires the adoption of organizational measures for their timely provision of dentures.
