20.500.12556/RUL-136436 Inadequate intake of dietary fibre in adolescents, adults, and elderlies results of Slovenian representative SI.Menu study Dietary fibre has proven to promote healthy body mass and reduce the risk of non-communicable diseases. To date, in Slovenia, there were only a few outdated studies of dietary fibre intake; therefore, we explored the dietary fibre intake using food consumption data collected in the SI.Menu project. Following the EU Menu methodology, data were collected on representative samples of adolescents, adults, and elderlies using a general questionnaire, a food propensity questionnaire, and two 24 h recalls. The results indicate that the intake of dietary fibre in Slovenia is lower than recommended. The proportion of the population with inadequate fibre intakes (<30 g/day) was 90.6% in adolescents, 89.6% in adults, and 83.9% in elderlies, while mean daily fibre intakes were 19.5, 20.9, and 22.4 g, respectively. Significant determinants for inadequate dietary fibre intake were sex in adolescents and adults, and body mass index in adults. The main food groups contributing to dietary fibre intake were bread and other grain products, vegetables and fruits, with significant differences between population groups. Contribution of fruits and vegetables to mean daily dietary fibre intake was highest in elderlies (11.6 g), followed by adults (10.6 g) and adolescents (8.5 g). Public health strategies, such as food reformulation, promoting whole-meal alternatives, consuming whole foods of plant origin, and careful planning of school meals could beneficially contribute to the overall dietary fibre intake in the population. dietary fibre dietary fibre intake 24 h recall EU Menu Slovenian population prehrana prehranske vlaknine vnos prehranskih vlaknin Slovenija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2022-05-04 09:14:51 2022-05-04 09:14:51 2022-09-15 04:13:53 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2021 0 0 16 str. iss. 11, art. 3826 Vol. 13 2021 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 641.1:613.263 2072-6643 10.3390/nu13113826 82720515 nutrients-13-03826-v3.pdf nutrients-13-03826-v3.pdf 1 12CCCA7C50C2BB34CE6633C264262AC6 0b02503ba936d875612e50026e9cb4432da79fc6cf0804d91d7e9b43236f0342 1e357435-cb7a-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=156088 https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/13/11/3826 1 cc9da011-cb79-11ec-8aca-00155dcfd717 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=156087 Biotehniška fakulteta 0 0 0
