Qualitative and quantitative study of food is essential to highlight causes of nutritional problems in order to evaluate and propose relevant interventions. To achieve this objective, a transversal survey requiring tools to estimate the quantity of food consumed per person was carried out. 417 people were interviewed in seven districts of Côte d 'Ivoire. The results of the survey showed that the average individual dietary diversity score of the respondents was 4.4. Food groups daily consumed by nearly 50 % of the population are : spices, condiments, beverages (100%); fish and seafood (93.95%), oils and fats (93.83%), cereals (89.97%), roots and tubers (87.27%) and other vegetables (54.07%). Staple foods were consumed at an European Scientific Journal June 2018 edition Vol.14, No.17 ISSN: 1857 -7881 (Print) e -ISSN 1857-7431 298 average of 450.00 ± 225.00 and 562.50 ± 290.50 g per meal per person. Rice (33.66 ± 6.06%) and cassava (23.09 ± 5.28%) were the most consumed staple foods. In sum, the choice of the type and quantity of staple foods to be consumed per individual should be guided by the activity perfomed, at the risk of increasing the morbidity and mortality rate related to metabolic diseases.

The purpose of this work is to determine the consumption pattern estimated from quantity and frequency of consumption of palm oil produced in Côte d'Ivoire in order to assess risk of hypercholesterolemia related to these oils. To achieve this objective, a cross - sectional survey was conducted with 417 randomly sampled people in seven district capitals of Côte d 'Ivoire. This investigation shows that average of crude and refined R1 and refined R2 palm oil consumed are 24.52 mL, 25.88 mL and 24.13 mL per person per day, respectively. In addition, datas on consumption frequency of different palm oils indicate that refined palm oils are most prevalent in population’s dishes. Daily consumption frequency of crude and refined palm oils varies between 7.43 % and 85.40 %. These oils contain 32.95 % to 48.04 % palmitic acid (hazard). For a bioavailability of 100 % palmitic acid, the risk assessment for hypercholesterolemia indicates that 26.02 %, 25.80 % and 21.73 % of surveyed populations ingest higher quantities of palmitic acid. Those are greater than the recommended rate Anses (National Agency for Food Safety, Environment and Labor) during consumption crude and refined palm oils. 26,020, 25,800 and 21,730 cases of increase in serum cholesterol per 100,000 inhabitants after consumption crude, R1 and R2 oils. Concerning a bioavailability of 11 %, risk of hypercholesterolemia is 0 %; 0.02 % and 0.03 % respectively for the consumers of crude, R2 and R1 palm oils. Hypercholesterolemia risk varies from the mode of consumption and oils types.
