The German Nutrition Survey 1998 found that while overall nutrient intake is generally sufficient, some individuals have suboptimal levels of key nutrients like fiber, vitamins D and E, and zinc. Dietary fat intake has decreased compared to previous estimates.

Area of Science:

  • Nutrition Science
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • The German Nutrition Survey 1998 (GeNuS) assessed dietary habits in a representative German subsample.
  • Previous estimates suggested higher dietary fat intake in the German population.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the current nutritional status and dietary patterns of the German population.
  • To identify potential nutrient shortfalls and compare dietary habits across regions.

Main Methods:

  • A comprehensive dietary interview was conducted using the DISHES 98 software.
  • Data were collected from 4030 participants in the GeNuS survey.

Main Results:

  • Average energy intake from fat was 33-34%, lower than the estimated 40% from a decade prior.

  • Most vitamins, minerals, and trace elements were adequately supplied.
  • Suboptimal intake was observed for dietary fiber, vitamins D and E, folate, zinc, and iodine.
  • Women showed suboptimal intake for B vitamins (B1, B2, B6), iron, and phosphorus.
  • No significant regional differences in dietary patterns were found between eastern and western Germany.

    • Conclusions:

    • German dietary fat intake has decreased, but specific population subgroups exhibit suboptimal nutrient intake.
    • Public health initiatives may be needed to address deficiencies in fiber, certain vitamins, and minerals.
    • Regional dietary habits in Germany are broadly similar, with no clear advantage in either eastern or western regions.
