Nutrient intake in Jerusalem--consumption in adults

N A Kaufmann, Y Friedlander, S T Halfon

    Israel Journal of Medical Sciences
    |December 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary

    Middle-aged Jerusalem adults had lower energy intake than recommended. Nutrient intake, particularly fat and cholesterol, varied significantly by ethnic origin, differing from Western populations.

    Area of Science:

    • Nutritional Epidemiology
    • Public Health Nutrition
    • Cross-sectional Studies

    Background:

    • Assessing nutrient intake in middle-aged populations is crucial for understanding dietary patterns and health.
    • Previous studies focused on adolescents, necessitating data on their parents' nutritional status.
    • Understanding dietary variations within a diverse urban population like Jerusalem is important.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the nutrient intake of middle-aged Jerusalem residents.
    • To compare nutrient intake with recommended levels and populations in Western countries.
    • To investigate ethnic variations in nutrient consumption within the Jerusalem population.

    Main Methods:

    • Cross-sectional study of 1,589 middle-aged Jerusalem residents (1,028 males, 561 females).

  • Utilized North American Lipid Research Clinics (LRCs) Prevalence Studies protocols for nutrient intake assessment.
  • Data collected on energy, fat (total, saturated, polyunsaturated), carbohydrates, cholesterol, and sucrose intake.

    • Main Results:

    • Energy intake was below recommended levels for both males and females.
    • Dietary fat constituted 32.1-34.0% of energy, saturated fatty acids (SFA) 10.0-11.0%, and total carbohydrates 49.9-50.2%.
    • Significant ethnic differences observed: Israelis and Europeans consumed more fat/SFA and less carbohydrates; North Africans had the highest P:S ratio and sucrose intake; Europeans had the highest cholesterol intake.

    Conclusions:

    • Jerusalem adults exhibited lower-than-recommended energy intake.
    • Nutrient intake patterns, especially fat and cholesterol, showed marked ethnic variations.
    • The dietary profile of Jerusalem adults differed substantially from those in other Western countries.
