“…Other studies [30,31] have indicated that a moderate restriction of fat intake is compatible with normal growth as long as this is strictly supervised. However, amongst the Spanish population, though the idea of restricting fat, saturated fat and cholesterol intakes is well known, and is taken seriously by many [32], it is not common to check whether the diet continues to provide sufficient quantities of other essential nutrients.…”

In this article the effects of saturated fatty acid (SFA) consumption on energy and nutrient intake, and on a range of serum lipid parameters (indicators of cardiovascular risk) are reported in a group of 110 preschool children. Subjects were divided into 2 groups: high consumption (HC), in which ≧13% (20th percentile) of total energy came from SFAs, and low consumption (LC), in which SFAs provided <13% of energy intake. Food intake was monitored for 7 consecutive days. At participating day care centers, a ‘precise individual weighing’ method was used, while a ‘food intake record’ was kept for foods taken at home. At the blood level it was found that HC subjects showed higher HDL-cholesterol levels and better HDL-cholesterol/LDL-cholesterol ratios than did LC subjects. The greater intakes of riboflavin, iodine, zinc, magnesium and calcium seen in HC subjects suggest that these may have a better nutritive status (with respect to certain nutrients) than LC subjects. The development of criteria for providing the greatest protection against cardiovascular disease, while maintaining good nutritive condition, should be the subject of future studies. This is especially important in children of preschool age since nutritional deficiencies at this stage in life can have important effects on growth and health.

“…In the societies of developed nations such as Spain, it is usually assumed that excess (eg in terms of energy, fats, saturated fats, cholesterol, etc) is the main nutritional problem, and that deficiencies have been overcome (Ortega et al, 1997;Ortega, 1999). Food is abundant, and the general public often believes that a little variety is sufficient guarantee of receiving all necessary nutrients.…”

“…Knowledge is not good and actual habits are not ideal. When coupled with concern over body weight (Ortega et al, 1997;Wardle & Johnson, 2002), the intake of nutrients can drift away from the optimum (Ortega et al, 2000).…”

Nutritional risks in the Spanish population: results of the eVe study

Objective: To determine the vitamin status of different groups within the Spanish population. Design: Pooled analysis of cross-sectional population nutritional regional studies and meta-analysis of smaller studies in population subgroups performed in Spain between 1990 and 1999. Subjects: In total, 10 208 participants in eight random population studies aged 25-60 y and participants in 76 studies included in the meta-analysis. Interventions: The data from different nutritional studies performed on sample populations representative of eight regions of Spain were integrated into a single database. A meta-analysis was also performed on the results of nutritional studies on the Spanish population involving subjects of other ages and status (all published between 1990 and 1999). Results: The mean intakes observed after the integration of the eight regional studies, and in the meta-analysis study, were similar to those recommended, although a considerable percentage of people had insufficient intakes. Conclusions: Further studies are required, but the vitamin status of the Spanish population clearly shows room for improvement, especially with respect to vitamins B 2 , B 6 , A, E, D and folates. Bearing in mind that adequate vitamin intakes are associated with protection from a range of diseases, steps should be taken to correct the imbalances recorded.

The present study aimed to assess calcium intake, dietary sources of this nutrient and its adequacy with respect to the dietary reference intake (DRI) in a representative sample of Spanish adults. In this study 418 adults (18 to 60 years) from 15 Spanish provinces were studied. Energy and nutrient intake was determined using a 24-hour recall questionnaire for two days. Adequacy of calcium intake was assessed using the established DRI for calcium. Anthropometric data (weight and height) were measured and the body mass index was calculated. Seventy eight percent of the participants in the study did not meet the DRI for calcium. Additionally, 33.7% of the participants did not meet the 67% of the DRI. The daily intake of calcium was 916.6 ± 288.1 mg/day, which represented the 81.3% of the DRI of calcium. Interestingly, subjects who had higher intake of calcium were taller. Additionally, it has been observed that individuals with normal body weight (BMI <25 kg/m<sup>2</sup>) had higher intakes of dairy products in comparison with overweight and obese individuals (BMI ≥ 25 kg/m<sup>2</sup>). The main food sources of calcium were dairy products (58.7% of calcium), cereals (13.6%) and vegetables (6.5%). Less than 1% (0.5%) of the calcium intake came from dietary supplements. It was observed that individuals who met the DRI for calcium had a significantly higher intake of dairy products (551.3 ± 240.4 g/day) than individuals who did not meet the DRI of calcium (305.0 ± 150.3 g/day). Calcium intake was inadequate in this sample of the adult Spanish population. Therefore, an increase in the consumption of dairy products, as well as cereals, vegetables and food items fortified with calcium seems to be necessary to achieve an adequate intake of calcium and to prevent diseases caused by calcium deficiency
