Recommendations limiting the intake of total fat, SFA, MUFA and PUFA have been established in several countries with the aim of reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as CVD. Studies have shown that intakes of total fat and SFA are above desired recommended intake levels across a wide range of age and sex groups. In addition, intakes of PUFA and MUFA are often reported to be less than the desired recommended intake levels. The aims of the present paper are to provide the first data on estimates of current intakes and main food sources of SFA, MUFA and PUFA in Irish children (aged 5-12 years), teenagers (aged 13-17 years) and adults (aged 18-64 years) and to analyse compliance with current dietary recommendations. Data for this analysis were based on the North/South Ireland Food Consumption Survey (n 1379, 18-64 years), the National Children's Food Survey (n 594, 5-12 years) and the National Teen Food Survey (n 441, 13-17 years). Results showed that SFA intakes in Irish children, teenagers and adults are high, with only 6 % of children, 11 % of teenagers and 21 % of adults in compliance with the recommended daily intake. The main food groups that contributed to SFA intakes were whole milk; fresh meat; meat products; biscuits, cakes, buns and pastries; and sugars, confectionery and preserves.
几个国家已制定了限制总脂肪、饱和脂肪酸（SFA）、单不饱和脂肪酸（MUFA）和多不饱和脂肪酸（PUFA）摄入量的建议，目的是降低心血管疾病（CVD）等慢性病的风险。研究表明，在广泛的年龄和性别群体中，总脂肪和饱和脂肪酸的摄入量高于建议的理想摄入量水平。此外，据报道，多不饱和脂肪酸和单不饱和脂肪酸的摄入量往往低于建议的理想摄入量水平。本文的目的是提供关于爱尔兰儿童（5至12岁）、青少年（13至17岁）和成年人（18至64岁）中饱和脂肪酸、单不饱和脂肪酸和多不饱和脂肪酸当前摄入量估计值及主要食物来源的首批数据，并分析其与当前饮食建议的符合情况。该分析的数据基于北爱尔兰/南爱尔兰食品消费调查（n = 1379，年龄18至64岁）、全国儿童食品调查（n = 594，年龄5至12岁）和全国青少年食品调查（n = 441，年龄13至17岁）。结果显示，爱尔兰儿童、青少年和成年人的饱和脂肪酸摄入量较高，只有6%的儿童、11%的青少年和21%的成年人符合每日建议摄入量。导致饱和脂肪酸摄入的主要食物类别有全脂牛奶、鲜肉、肉制品、饼干、蛋糕、小圆面包和糕点，以及糖、糖果和蜜饯。
