A study was made of factual nutrition, energy consumption and the disease incidence among women teachers and research workers. The diets of these women were marked by excess caloric value (16-21% above normal) at the expense of high protein consumption (15-30% above normal), including animal proteins (20-40% above normal), total fats (14-40% above normal) and carbohydrates (11-22% above normal) and by the lack in the diet of vegetable fats, vitamins A and C, and calcium. Analysis of the disease incidence demonstrated that 16% of the women suffer from cardiovascular diseases, 5% from gastrointestinal diseases, 17% from overweight and 20% from obesity.
