Abstract

Povećane stope pretilosti povezuju se s unosom velikih porcija hrane. Cilj ovog rada bio je usporediti dnevni unos skupina namirnica i odabranih namirnica u Hrvatskoj u odnosu na druge europske zemlje te utvrditi usklađenost prosječnog dnevnog unosa s preporukama. U tu svrhu korištena je Sveobuhvatna europska baza podataka o unosu hrane koja objedinjuje podatke iz nacionalnih istraživanja o prehrambenim navikama u Europi (EU Menu). Identificirane su glavne skupine namirnica iz baze (FoodEx2), a potom su uz glavne skupine izdvojene i najučestalije konzumirane namirnice iz tih skupina u Hrvatskoj. Rezultati su pokazali da unos odabranih namirnica u Hrvatskoj približno odgovara prosječnom unosu ostalih zemalja, a od izdvojenih namirnica najveći dnevni unos suncokretovog ulja zabilježen je u Hrvatskoj. U većini zemalja zabilježen je nedovoljan prosječan dnevni unos za mahunarke, orašaste plodove, sjemenke i začine; grah; povrće/proizvode od povrća. Prekomjeran dnevni unos mesa peradi i crvenog mesa zabilježen je u više od 2/3 zemalja, uključujući Hrvatsku. Dostupnost usklađenih preporuka o veličinama porcija, mogla bi značajno pridonijeti edukaciji potrošača.

Abstract (english)

The intake of large food portion sizes is associated with increased rates of obesity. The aim of this study was to compare the daily intake of selected food groups in Croatia with other European countries, and to determine to what extent the average daily intake in Europe aligns with the recommended guidelines. To address these questions, the Comprehensive European Food Consumption Database was used, which consists of data from national dietary surveys in Europe (EU Menu) following the methodology prescribed by EFSA. The main food groups from the database (FoodEx2) were identified, and in addition to these main groups, the most commonly consumed foods in Croatia from those groups were also analysed. The results indicate that the intake of selected food groups in Croatia is approximately equal to the average daily intake of the countries included in the research. Among the selected foods, the highest daily intake of sunflower seed oil was recorded in Croatia. In most countries, including Croatia, inadequate average daily intake was reported for legumes, nuts, oilseeds and spices; beans and vegetables and vegetable products. Furthermore, excessive daily intake of poultry and red meat was recorded in over 2/3 of the countries, including Croatia. In conclusion, the presence of standardised guidelines regarding portion size could significantly improve nutritional education of consumers.
