The objective of this work was to assess dietary patterns and consumption of phenolic compounds from fruits and vegetables byschoolchildren of high altitude regions from northwest of Argentina. A nutritional survey including food-frequency consumption, 24-h dietary recall and anthropometric measurements was applied to 241 children from 6 to 12years old. The amounts of the different classes of phenolic compounds were established from Food Composition Tables available in phenol-explorer website. Statistics analyses were performed using IBM SPSS 20.0. Nutritional status assessment showed underweight (2.2%), low weight (12.7%), overweight (12.7%) and obesity (7.4%). Mean intake of phenolic compounds was 412mg/day. Most consumed foods were infusions and sugar products, consumption of vegetables, fruits and dairy products were low compared to recommendations for this age. Considering that polyphenols have protective health effects, its low consumption could be a risk of development of chronic non communicable diseases.
这项工作的目的是评估阿根廷西北部高海拔地区学童的饮食模式以及水果和蔬菜中酚类化合物的摄入量。对241名6至12岁的儿童进行了一项营养调查，包括食物频率消费、24小时饮食回顾和人体测量。不同类别的酚类化合物含量是根据酚类物质探索者网站上提供的食物成分表确定的。使用IBM SPSS 20.0进行统计分析。营养状况评估显示体重不足（2.2%）、体重偏低（12.7%）、超重（12.7%）和肥胖（7.4%）。酚类化合物的平均摄入量为412毫克/天。最常食用的食物是冲剂和糖制品，与该年龄段的建议摄入量相比，蔬菜、水果和乳制品的摄入量较低。考虑到多酚对健康有保护作用，其低摄入量可能是慢性非传染性疾病发展的一个风险因素。
