[Food consumption, habits, and nutritional status of the population of Reus (VIII). Evolution of energy and nutrient intake from 1983 to 1993].

Abstract

The dietary pattern evolved to a lower energy intake with an increment of the percentage of dietary lipids, but this feature was did not reflect a greater fat intake in absolute values. Moreover, the main characteristics of the typical mediterranean diet (which is basically different to the usual diet of other non mediterranean european countries mainly due to its richness in monounsaturated fatty acids) did not change in the period analyzed.
