Abstract
We investigated fat intake, tocopherols intake and fatty acid composition in a regular diet and a sodium chloride restricted diet. During November 7-11, 1983 the investigation was made on breakfast, lunch, dinner and refreshments at a school hospital which received school children and students, suffering allergic asthma, nephritic and other chronic disease. Calculated values of fat intake were somewhat lower than analysed ones and both values were within the recommended limit of 25-30 energy percent. The composition ratio of saturated, monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids were 1: 1. 22: 0.93 and 1: 1. 29: 1.04 in regular and restricted diets respectively. The ratio of α-tocopherol to polyunsaturated fatty acid was 0.37mg/g on the average being lower than the ratio of 0.6 mg/g recommended by Harris.
