Abstract

Laktoza intolerancija jedna je od najčešćih vrsta malapsorpcije ugljikohidrata i javlja se u dvije trećine svjetskog stanovništva. Karakterizira ju nemogućnost probave mliječnog šećera, laktoze, čija konzumacija uzrokuje niz gastrointestinalnih simptoma kao što su nadutost, proljev, abdominalna bol i dr. Cilj rada bio je procijeniti unos kalcija u osoba s laktoza intolerancijom, bilo da je ona samodijagnosticirana ili dijagnosticirana od strane liječnika. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 43 ispitanika, čiji su osnovni podatci dobiveni na temelju općeg upitnika, a njihov dnevni unos kalcija procijenjen je upitnikom za procjenu prehrambenog unosa kalcija. Preporučeni dnevni unos kalcija ostvaren je u 44% ispitanika, pri čemu većina ispitanika (58%) ne zna koliki je preporučeni dnevni unos. Osobe s laktoza intolerancijom potrebno je educirati o važnosti adekvatnog unosa kalcija i posljedicama njegova nedovoljnog unosa.

Abstract (english)

Lactose intolerance is one of the most common types of carbohydrate malabsorption and occurs in two-thirds of the world's population. It is characterized by the inability to digest milk sugar, lactose, whose drinking causes a number of gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, abdominal pain and others. The aim of this work was to evaluate calcium intake in people with lactose intolerance, whether it was self diagnosed or diagnosed by a doctor. The study included 43 participants whose basic informations were obtained based on a general questionnaire, and their daily calcium intake was estimated with a questionnaire for assessing the dietary intakes of calcium. The recommended daily intake of calcium was achieved in 44% of participants, with the majority of respondents (58%) that don't know what is the recommended daily intake of calcium. It is necessary to educate people with lactose intolerance on the importance of adequate calcium intake.
