Sažetak
Nutrition of people with Diabetes mellitus should be similar to nutrition of healthy people with expectance of food weight in one meal and number of meals in one day. The aim of this study was to determine food habits among people with Diabetes mellitus. In the study was include 152 subject, both genders (47 % man and 53 % women) with average age 60 years. Semiquantitative FFQ method was used for assessment of food habits. Additional questionnaire was used to detect age, gender, weight and height. Nutritional status, as body mass index (BMI, kg/m2), was calculated by known antropometric parameters. The results from this study indicate that 64 % of subjects are type II and 36 % type I of Diabetes mellitus and 32 % of subjects were under restriction food program and 3.3 % were vegetarian/macrobiotic. Subjects daily had average 4.5 meals and 2 snacks and, average 5.4 breakfast per week. Food with the highest frequency was fruit (6, 3 times/week) as well as milk and yoghurt (5.6 times/week). Meat and vegetable was consumed 4.6 times/week. From all types of meat poultry was mostly present (2.7 times/week). Fish and eggs were present in diet similarly (1.3 times/week). Pulses were consumed more rare than once a week, as well as sweets. Fast food was almost not present in diet of this population. Vine, bier and soft drinks were consumed less than once a week, but coffee and tea 6 and more times per week. Average body weight was 78.3 kg and average height 168 cm, while average BMI was 27.6 kg/m2, what indicate on average higher BMI than was recommended, specially when is noticed that 26.3 % of subjects have BMI higher than 30. From this study is obvious that people with Diabetes mellitus in average have satisfying number of snacks per day and unsatisfying number of breakfast per week. In this study negative correlation between BMI and number of breakfast per week (p<0.05) was observed and, positive correlation between weight and number of snacks (p<0.05). Fish, pulses and raw vegetable should be more consumed specially when is well known their positive function on human body.
