    Area of Science:

    • Nutritional Science
    • Environmental Chemistry
    • Food Analysis

    Background:

    • Selenium is an essential trace element crucial for human health.
    • Accurate estimation of dietary selenium intake is vital for public health assessments.
    • Belgium's dietary selenium levels require specific evaluation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To estimate the average dietary selenium intake in the Belgian population.
    • To compare Belgian selenium intake with that of other countries.
    • To validate estimation methods for dietary trace element analysis.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized hydride generation atomic absorption spectrometry to determine selenium concentrations in various food groups.
    • Combined food composition data with national dietary consumption records and trade statistics (production, importation, exportation).

  • Employed analysis of duplicate meals as an independent method for dietary intake assessment.

    • Main Results:

    • Average selenium concentration levels were determined for key Belgian food categories.
    • Dietary intake was calculated using food consumption patterns and selenium levels.
    • Duplicate meal analysis provided a comparable dataset for validation.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides a comprehensive estimation of dietary selenium intake in Belgium.
    • Findings allow for comparison with international dietary selenium intake benchmarks.
    • The applied methodologies are suitable for assessing population-level trace element intake.
