Abstract
- In addition to the German National Health Interview and Examination Survey, the German Nutrition Survey 1998 (GeNuS) was conducted in a subsample of 4030 participants. Among these persons, a comprehensive dietary interview was performed with use of the software DISHES 98. The proportion of 33-34% energy from fat is considerably less than the 40% energy from fat which was estimated about ten years ago. In general, the supply of most vitamins, minerals and trace elements is sufficient. For a part of the population, the intake of dietary fibre, vitamins D and E, folate, zinc, iodine and, among women, also vitamins B1, B2, B6, iron and phosphorus is on a suboptimal level. Observed differences in dietary habits in the eastern and western part of Germany did not have an obviously more favourable dietary pattern in any part of Germany.
