The authors investigated in a quasi random trial the characteristics of nutrition of 2559 volunteer adult persons in Budapest and eleven counties. It has been concluded that the diets of persons examined contained more than necessary protein (14,6 en%), mainly that on animal origin, considerably more fat (38,0 en%), saturated fatty acids, cholesterol, little polyunsaturated fatty acids, carbohydrates (45,1 en%), int that more added sugar (15,4 en%) and very little complex carbohydrates. Vitamin supply was generally satisfactory, borderline deficiency might be observed in the case of tocopherol equivalent and in some age-groups, first of al in women, in the case of thiamine, riboflavin and pyridoxine. Out of the macro- and microcelements, sodium intake in both genders, iron intake in women of childearing age, zinc intake also in other age groups of women show deficieny. The mean value of relative body mass, the distribution of BMI valeu-es prove high frequency of overweight (34,3%) and obesity (21,1%). Means of biotechnical markers appear to indicate that nutrient supply was in the normal range of laboratory tests. The averages of total cholesterol and LDL-cholestero 5,6 and 3,6 mmol/l, respectively unequivocally suggested the risk of cardiovascular diseases. On the basis of all these data the authors emphasize that the nutriotion of the Hungarian population presents several risk factors of diet-related diseases: P/S ratio of 0,28-0,29, Na/K ratio of 2,6 g/g intake of some micronutrients (vitamins, macro-and microelements) was low in cerain groups of investigated persons.
