Abstract

Prehranom je potrebno zadovoljiti energetske potrebe na dnevnoj razini, a za masti ona iznosi 20-35% ukupnog energetskog unosa. Koncentriran su izvor energije, a uz to i važan makronutrijent u održavanju zdravlja. Mediteranska prehrana okarakterizirana je kao način prehrane s benefitima na ljudsko zdravlje te se povezuje s mediteranskim podnebljem kojem pripada i primorska regija. Provedena je studija koja je istražila unos masti u primorskoj i kontinentalnoj regiji. Dobiveni rezultati su uspoređeni s prethodno prikupljenim antropometrijskim podacima kako bi se dobio potpuni uvid u postojeće obrasce prehrane. Studija je provedena na studentskoj populaciji (n=978) u učeničkim domovima, četiri smještena u kontinentalnoj, a pet u primorskoj regiji. Obradom podataka ustanovljene su razlike u prehrambenim navikama u dvije regije; kontinentalna ima veći udio zasićenih masti i unosa ukupne energije u odnosu na primorsku, no obje regije imaju ekscesivan unos masti koji se povezuje s povećanim udjelom masnog tkiva i rizikom od nezaraznih kroničnih bolesti.

Abstract (english)

Human diet needs to meet energy requirements on a daily basis and for fat it amounts to 20-35% of total energy input. Fats are concentrated energy source, but also crucial macronutrient in maintaining health. Mediterranean diet is characterized as a way of nutrition with health benefits and it is linked to Mediterranean region and coastal region is a part of it. A study was carried out to analyze fat intake in coastal and continental regions. The obtained results were compared with previously collected anthropometric data to get a complete insight into the existing diet patterns. The study was conducted on student population (n=978) in student dormitories, four located in continental and five in coastal region. Data processing found differences in dietary habits in two regions; continental has a higher representation of saturated fats and intake of total energy, compared to coastal, but both regions have an excessive fat intake that is associated with increased body fat and the risk of chronic noncommunicable diseases.
