“…One likely reason for low fish consumption, and not investigated in this study, is the price [67]; this is because the price has been shown to be a limiting factor in fish consumption in Poland [68]. Other equally important factors contributing to low fish consumption include the low level of public awareness of the importance of fish in daily nutrition, the limited availability and low species diversity of fresh fish and fish products, the instability of the raw material, problematic pre-processing (i.e., gutting, filleting), limited culinary skills in preparing fish dishes, fear of the presence of undesirable substances in fish meat, and aversion to the characteristic smell and taste of fish dishes and the presence of bones [69][70][71].…”

Vitamin D has a pleiotropic effect and its deficiency is a risk factor for many diseases. The purpose of this study was to analyze the dietary intake of vitamin D and the factors determining this intake by female post-primary school students in Poland. The study was conducted on a nationwide sample of 4469 female Polish adolescents (aged 14–20) recruited from all regions across Poland. The vitamin D intake was assessed using VIDEO-FFQ (Vitamin D Estimation Only—Food Frequency Questionnaire). The median dietary vitamin D intake was 2.33 μg per day and it was lower than the 15 μg recommended in Poland for more than 98% of the group. The highest vitamin D intake per day was noted for fish (0.52 μg), whereas the lowest was noted for fats (0.04 μg). Factors that influenced the dietary vitamin D intake were the amount and species of fish consumed, region of residence, use of vitamin D supplements, and vegetarian or vegan diets. In contrast, vitamin D intake did not depend on body mass index and age. Based on the results of the survey, it can be concluded that the alarmingly low intake of vitamin D by Polish female adolescents is a result of the limited supply of vitamin D primarily from fish and fish products. This may be due to insufficient nutritional knowledge, indicating an urgent need to educate the surveyed population in this area.
