206 aged pensioners of the city of Perugia have been examined in a longitudinal study, with emphasis on body composition, diet, life habits and clinical-biochemical data. From the anthropometric data of the individuals examined in 1981 it is evident that both in men and women obesity is common especially among the women. The opposite is true for the arm muscle area. Comparing the same men examined in 1976 and 1981 body fatness decreased in the five years interval. Food and nutrient intakes are rather similar in the 1976 and 1981 surveys. Consumption of milk, eggs, fish and legumes is not high. The men, but not the women, tended to a high consumption of meat and alcoholic beverages. The intake in 1981 of thiamin, riboflavin and vitamin A seems in general to be inadequate according to our recommended values. The biochemical data show practically no difference in the two surveys. Serum cholesterol continued to be rather high for an Italian population.
佩鲁贾市的206名老年养老金领取者参与了一项纵向研究，重点关注身体成分、饮食、生活习惯以及临床生化数据。从1981年接受检查的个体的人体测量数据来看，很明显，肥胖在男性和女性中都很常见，尤其是在女性中。手臂肌肉面积则相反。比较1976年和1981年接受检查的同一批男性，在五年的时间间隔内，身体脂肪含量有所下降。1976年和1981年的调查中，食物和营养摄入量相当相似。牛奶、鸡蛋、鱼类和豆类的消费量不高。男性，而非女性，倾向于大量食用肉类和酒精饮料。根据我们的推荐值，1981年硫胺素、核黄素和维生素A的摄入量总体上似乎不足。生化数据显示，这两项调查实际上没有差异。对于意大利人群来说，血清胆固醇仍然相当高。
