Sažetak
Existing data on adolescent and adults suggest that current levels of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) intake in developed and developing countries may be insufficient and therefore a basis for inception and advance of many diseases. The aim of this study was to investigate the intake of Ca and P in the continental part of Croatia. The present survey was carried out on a sample of 161 adults (115 females and 46 males, age 18-55). To estimate the level of Ca and P intake, a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was developed. A computer programme based on national food tables was used to calculate the mean intake of the elements, as well as the fraction of intake from different foods. The investigation was performed over three different seasons: October/November (FFQ1), April/May (FFQ2), and August/September (FFQ3). Average Ca and P intakes were 965.1 and 1575.0 mg/day, respectively. FFQ2 and FFQ3 gave similar results for Ca, while FFQ1 was significantly different from the other two seasons. As for P, FFQ2 was significantly different from the other two seasons. Milk and diary products made the greatest contribution to Ca (61.3%) and P (32.4%) intake, followed by vegetables (14.1%) for Ca, and cereals (23.2%) for P. The results are discussed in view of seasonal variations, sources, and adequacy of intake.
