Abstract: (850 Views)
Background: Several studies showed that the micronutrient intake of the imposed war veterans is different than the recommended daily adequate (RDA). Consequently, veterans are at risk of malnutrition. Methods: This research was a cross-sectional study. The subjects studied included 106 individuals with over 10% disability in Isfahan city. Data collection was performed by using a public information questionnaire and a two-day dietary recall. The data review was conducted with N4 nutritional software and SPSS 10 statistical software. This project examined the average intake of micronutrients and mean anthropometric indices in veterans. Also, the mean intake of micronutrients was compared with RDA; the mean anthropometric indices with the standard values was compared too. The relationship between the amount of intake of micronutrients with anthropometric indices was also determined. Findings: Intake of some amounts of micronutrients were lower than RDA and some of them was higher than RDA which appears to result from inadequate intake, catching a wide range of diseases and food and drug interactions. Also, according to the findings related to anthropometric indices and body composition in this group, the total amount of fat was more than normal level and determined that regular physical activity plays an important role to promote health is these people. Conclusion: According to the findings of the study we found that the pattern of food intake of veterans should be corrected.
