[Possibilities of correcting atherogenic trends of the diet in l4-15-year-old boys]

In a representative sample of boys aged 14-15 daily diet compositions have been modeled followed by 2-year preventive correction of expected atherogenic shifts in the above boys' nutrition. The correction did not imply changes in daily diet overall caloric value, but the intake of refined sugar was to be reduced with an increase in the intake of other carbohydrates and decrease in saturated fatty acids. The proportion of polyunsaturated fatty acids in daily diets was made greater. The highest effect was achieved in the boys who had not only changed their diet qualitatively, but also made their meals more frequent that is adopted dietary regimen with meals 3-4 times a day.
