20.500.12556/RUL-134931 Dietary intake of trans fatty acids in the Slovenian population Consumption of trans fatty acids (TFAs) has been unequivocally linked to several adverse health effects, with the increased risk of cardiovascular disease being one of the most well understood. To reduce TFA-related morbidity and mortality, several countries have imposed voluntary or mandatory measures to minimize the content of industrial TFAs (iTFAs) in the food supply. In 2018, Slovenia introduced a ban on iTFAs on top of preceding voluntary calls to industry to reduce its use of partially hydrogenated oils (PHOs) as the main source of iTFAs. To investigate the consumption of TFAs, data available from the nationally representative dietary survey SI.Menu were analyzed. The survey consisted of two 24-h non-consecutive day recalls from 1248 study participants from three age groups (10–17, 18–64, 65–74 years old), combined with socio-demographic, socio-economic, and lifestyle parameters. The analyses demonstrated that, on average, TFAs accounted for 0.38–0.50% of total energy intake (TEI). However, 13% of adolescents, 29.4% of adults, and 41.8% of the elderly population still consumed more than 0.50% TEI with TFAs. The main sources of TFAs in the diet were naturally present TFAs from butter, meat dishes, and meat products, regardless of the age group. Results indicate that following the reformulation activities, the major sources of TFAs in the diets of the Slovenian population now represent foods which are natural sources of TFAs. trans fatty acids partially hydrogenated oils dietary intake 24-h recall EU Menu Slovenian population transmaščobne kisline prehrana prehranski vnos Slovenija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-02-11 12:16:28 2022-02-11 12:16:29 2022-09-14 04:10:44 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 13 str. iss. 1, art. 207 Vol. 13 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 613.2:641.1:543.635.35 2072-6643 10.3390/nu13010207 49421571 RAZ_Zupanic_Nina_2021.pdf RAZ_Zupanic_Nina_2021.pdf 1 208C3F717C2EEEE11F1B416E4F0CF10D 841552d52aa44f4f7bfcc798d5e3a6925f824e3e0a25bdfee09c8f3d1c2e6adc 1aaa41e2-8b2c-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=153688 https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/13/1/207 1 d3aa614b-8b2b-11ec-abdb-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=153687 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
