“…Moreover, the intake of calcium was much lower than the recommended amounts in both groups (712 and 776 mg/d in overweight and non-overweight respectively, vs. the recommended 1100-1200 mg/d) [20], which is in line with a study of Slovenian adolescents [30].…”

“…Mean dietary intake of vitamin D from food alone ranged from 1.1 to 8.2 μg/day. In a recent study on dietary habits of Slovenian adolescents, we found that they consumed only 4 µg vitamin D/day instead of a recommended 20 µg/day [22,38]. Contrary to the most developed countries, both vitamin D fortification and supplementation policies in pregnancy have not been implemented in Slovenia, and the use of dietary supplements containing vitamin D remains an individual's decision.…”

Background/Aims: Vitamin D deficiency is a common underdiagnosed condition. The aim of this was to analyze the status of vitamin D and its determinants in healthy Slovenian pregnant women. Methods: A total of 132 volunteer pregnant women completed a questionnaire including baseline demographics, food frequency, physical activities; anthropometrical measurements, body mass index and levels of 25-(OH)D in serum were performed during the third trimester, and dietary intakes were assessed during the 27-28th week of gestation. Results: Vitamin D deficiency was present in 14% while insufficiency was present in 41% of women. The risk for inadequacy was higher in women older than 30 years (p = 0.01), in those with less frequent outdoor physical activity (p = 0.01) and in pregnancies during the low sun exposure season (p = 0.04). Insufficiency was not significantly more frequent in less educated women, unemployed and in those living in urban area. The median value of vitamin D from habitual dietary intake was 1.5 µg/day (range 0.1-13.4) and did not influence 25-hydroxyvitamin D level (p = 0.91). Conclusions: The prevalence of vitamin D inadequacy was 55% and was dependent on age, season and outdoor physical activities. The results suggest a discrepancy between vitamin D intake through habitual diet and the reference needs.

“…The result of these insufficient attentions is either insufficient or excessive diet. For example, Fidler (2012) showed the in appropriation of adolescents’ dietary habits in Slovenia were associated with the growth problems. In China, the average quantity of protein consumption in children and adolescents in 1991 to 2009 has decreased and caused the deduction of weight and height among adolescents ( Lopes et al, 2012 ).…”

The 48.4 percent of the participants not eat breakfast. The 67.4 percentages of girls daily were consuming bread and cereals, 57.5 fruits and vegetables, 62.7 dairy products, and 27.7 meat and eggs. In addition, 36.3 percentages of these girls consumed sweets everyday as part of their diet. The nutritional knowledge of participating in diet was on the average and common source of information were counselors and teachers at school (36 percentages). The results of our study revealed that there was a significant relationship between variations in level of parental educational level and dietetic safety of offspring (p<0.05). Our conclusion is the interactive education and parental literacy especially is important regarding to the adolescent nutrition and health.
