Comparison of dietary macro and micro-nutrients according to gender in physically active young individuals

Öz

PURPOSE: This study aimed to compare dietary macro and micronutrient intake between genders in physically active young individuals. METHODS: Thirty-five males (mean age: 22.09±2.45 years) and 25 females (mean age: 19.96±2.91 years) volunteered to participate in this study. All participants were instructed to maintain their normal dietary habits during the investigation and to complete a diet recall for three days: two weekdays and one for the weekend. Diet reminders were analyzed for mean intake of calories, protein, carbohydrates, fat, vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin E, etc. using a computerized diet assessment program (BEBIS, version 6.1, Turkey). RESULTS: The findings of the current study showed that there were significant differences between males and females in terms of calories (Kcal) and protein (g) intake (1568.5±418.9 vs. 1356.3±254.9; 71.0±19.10 vs. 56.55±16.10, respectively). When protein was expressed as %, there was no differences between genders. On the other hand, no significant differences were observed for fat, carbohydrate and cholesterol. Additionally, except vitamin B6 and phosphorus mineral no significant differences were observed for all examined vitamin and minerals contents (A, E, C, B1 and B2; Na, K, Ca, Mg, P, Fe and Zn). CONCLUSION: There was a significant difference in food intake in favour of men in terms of some nutrients. However, it was seen that some important vitamins and minerals were lower than RDA values in both genders.
