“…The average dietary fiber intake was higher in males, but a higher percentage of females had adequate intake, because of different recommendations for males and females. The average daily dietary fiber intake of 26.3 g is comparable with results for the adult Croatian population (30.0 g) and higher than comparable populations in other countries (Soriano et al 2000;Š tefanikova et al 2001;Perl et al 2003).…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate diet quality and nutrient intakes in Croatian university students, which are missing for the past 15 years, and also to report the prevalence of overweight/obesity and underweight. The subjects were 663 students (average age 22 years), representing 0.6% of all Croatian university students. The Quantified Food Frequency Questionnaire, checked for reproducibility and validity, was used for dietary assessment. Students on average had an adequate number of daily meals and snacks, but consumption of breakfast was irregular, particularly for men. The average energy intake was 130.1% of the dietary reference intake and the protein intake was more than double the dietary reference intake in 64.3% students. Dietary fiber, iron (in females), calcium, zinc, folate, and vitamins C, A and E intake were below recommendations in both genders. Only 3.8% of females and 21.9% of males were overweight/obese (body mass index >25 kg/m(2)). Nutrient intakes significantly differed according to gender and better macronutrient but not micronutrient intakes were observed in females.

Although minerals have important protective effects in human health, their role in nutrition is still underestimated and insufficiently investigated in Croatian population. The aim of this research was to examine sodium, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron and copper intake in 120 adults, aged 18-54 years. The research was conducted using the 10 times repeated 24-h recall method during 1 year. Participants were separated according to age, as well as according to the sex and body mass index. There were significant differences in daily intake of sodium, potassium, magnesium and copper between age groups, but not for phosphorus and iron. When divided by sex, significant differences in daily intake were found for all minerals. When nutritive density was considered, significant difference was found only for potassium and magnesium regarding sex. In conclusion, considering recommendations, the sodium dietary intake of the examined population is too high, while the intake of iron is to low among women.
