Taste is the type of sensitivities that helps human organism to identify and consume nutrients and to avoid indigestible and dangerous materials. The lower taste sensitivity usually is following by food gradients overconsumption, influenced food choice and food preferences, which contributes, in a cumulative manner, to health status. The objective of the study was examination of children taste oral sensation in association with anthropometric data, resting blood pressure and other factors. Material and methods. In study 169 participants in age 10-17 years were included for assessment of salt and sweet taste sensitivities, structure and quality of nutrition, food preferences, anthropometric data, chronotype, blood pressure. Results. The low taste sensitivity to salt minimal concentrations was registered in 50 persons (29.6%) and to sweets-60 persons (35.5%). Difference between males and females in taste sensitivities level was not established. The association between systolic blood pressure and the salt taste sensitivities was shown in regression model with inclusion of some anthropometric data. Elevated systolic blood pressure significantly correlates with excessive body mass, with heart beat rate and low salt sensitivity. Regarding patients chronotype we found out higher frequency of arterial hypertension in cases with evening type. Conclusions. The taste sensitivity examination is simple in execution but gives additional data for risk factor assessment. Compared with the group of children with normal sensitivity persons with low sensitivity have higher risk of overweight, salt and sweet overconsumption and arterial hypertension.
