Plant sterols are compounds with multiple biological functions, mainly cholesterol-reducing. There are no comprehensive databases on plant sterols, which makes it difficult to estimate their intake in the Polish population. This work attempted to use international food databases, additionally supplemented by scientific data from the literature, to create a database of plant sterols, which would cover various kinds of foods and dishes consumed in Poland. The aim was to assess the size and sources of dietary plant sterols in the adult population of Poland. The literature search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar to identify possible sources of published food composition data for plant sterols. The study group consisted of 5690 participants of the WOBASZ II survey. We identified 361 dietary sources of plant sterols based on the consumption of foods and dishes reported by participants. Cereals and fats provided 61% of the total plant sterols, and together with vegetables and fruits, this totaled 80%. The median intake of plant sterols in the Polish population was 255.96 mg/day, and for men and women 291.76 and 230.61 mg/day, respectively. Canola oil provided the most plant sterols at 16.92%, followed by white bread at 16.65% and soft margarine at 8.33%. The study found that plant sterol intake in Poland is comparable to other populations, and women’s diets are more dense in plant sterols. Due to the lack of literature sources on plant sterol content in some foods, future studies should expand and complete the databases on plant sterol content in foods.

Plant sterols are compounds with multiple biological functions, mainly cholesterol-reducing. There are no comprehensive databases on plant sterols, which makes it difficult to estimate their intake in the Polish population. In this study we used international food databases, supplemented by scientific data from the literature, to create a database on plant sterols in the food consumed in Poland to assess the size and sources of dietary plant sterols in the adult population of Poland. The literature search was conducted using PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar to identify possible sources of published food composition data for plant sterols. The study group consisted of 5690 participants of the WOBASZ II survey. We identified 361 dietary sources of plant sterols based on the consumption of foods and dishes reported by participants. Cereals and fats provided 61% of the total plant sterols, and together with vegetables and fruits, this totaled 80%. Total plant sterol intake for the Polish population was 282.97 mg/day, and divided by men and women was 320.77 and 252.19 mg/day, respectively. Canola oil provided the most plant sterols at 16.92%, followed by white bread at 16.65% and soft margarine at 8.33%. This study found that the database of plant sterols facilitates the calculation of plant sterols in the typical Polish diet, and the results are comparable to those of other studies, despite different methodologies of nutritional assessment and slightly different databases. The main sources of dietary plant sterols did not differ from the data for other populations. This study confirmed the observations of other research that women's diets may have a higher plant sterol density compared to men.

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – National budget only. Main funding source(s): National Institute of Cardiology, Warsaw, Poland Introduction. Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are a major cause of premature mortality and disability in developed countries. Among various risk factors, disorders of lipid metabolism are prevalent. Scientific evidence shows that plant sterols have a positive effect on dyslipidemia. The primary mechanism of hypolipemic effect of plant sterols is inhibition of cholesterol absorption in the small intestine, and this effect depends on the dose. Purpose. The aim of the study was to determine the intake of plant sterols, which was never studied in the Polish population. Methods. In total, 5690 participants of the population-based cross-sectional Polish National Multicenter Health Examination Survey WOBASZ II (2013-2014), aged 20+, were evaluated in the study (1). Nutritional data were collected using a single 24-hour dietary recall method. A dietary plant sterol database was compiled from available experimental data including total and individual plant sterols such as β-sitosterol, campesterol and stigmasterol. Plant sterol intakes were calculated taking into account plant sterol contents in individual food products and the volume of food consumption. Statistical calculations were performed using Statistical Analysis System (SAS), version 9.4 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA). Results. The dietary plant sterol intake (DPSI) for the general population, 283 mg/day, was dependent on the age and gender. The intake of sterols among people over 65 years of age (264 mg/day in men and 208 mg/day in women) was lower than in younger age groups (20-44 years)  of participants (343 mg/day in men and 259 mg/day in women). The main dietary plant sterol for both genders was β-sitosterol (∼62% of intake), followed by campesterol (∼21%) and stigmasterol (∼9%). Overall, men and women with cardiovascular disease had significantly lower DPSI (p > 0.002) than men and women without cardiovascular disease, 298.6 and 237.8 vs. 326.1 and 255.9 mg/d, respectively, and men but not women with diabetes had significantly (p > 0.04) lower DPSI than men without diabetes, 301.7 vs. 323.3, respectively. Conclusions. In the view of current recommendations to lower cholesterol, this research confirms findings for other populations, that the dietary intake of plant sterols in the Polish population is insufficient to beneficially modulate lipid metabolism, especially in CVD and diabetic patients.

Definition Of

Food composition data (FCD) comprises the description and identification of foods, as well as their nutrient content, other constituents, and food properties. FCD are required for a range of purposes including food labeling, supporting health claims, nutritional and clinical management, consumer information, and research. There have been differences within and beyond Europe in the way FCD are expressed with respect to food description, definition of nutrients and other food properties, and the methods used to generate data. One of the major goals of the EuroFIR NoE project (2005 - 10) was to provide tools to overcome existing differences among member states and parties with respect to documentation and interchange of FCD. The establishment of the CEN’s (European Committee for Standardisation) TC 387 project committee on Food Composition Data, led by the Swedish Standards Institute, and the preparation of the draft Food Data Standard, has addressed these deficiencies by enabling unambiguous identification and description of FCD and their quality, for dissemination and data interchange. Another major achievement of the EuroFIR NoE project was the development and dissemination of a single, authoritative source of FCD in Europe enabling the interchange and update of data between countries, and also giving access to users of FCD.

Dietary Deficiency

Magnesium (Mg) is an essential mineral micronutrient in humans. Risks of dietary Mg deficiency are affected by the quantity of Mg ingested and its bioavailability, which is influenced by the consumption of other nutrients and ‘anti-nutrients’. Here, we assess global dietary Mg supplies and risks of dietary deficiency, including the influence of other nutrients. Food supply and food composition data were used to derive the amount of Mg available per capita at national levels. Supplies of Mg were compared with estimated national per capita average requirement ‘cut points’. In 2011, global weighted mean Mg supply was 613 ± 69 mg person–1 day–1 compared with a weighted estimated average requirement for Mg of 173 mg person–1 day–1. This indicates a low risk of dietary Mg deficiency of 0.26% based on supply. This contrasts with published data from national individual-level dietary surveys, which indicate greater Mg deficiency risks. However, individuals in high-income countries are likely to under-report food consumption, which could lead to overestimation of deficiency risks. Furthermore, estimates of deficiency risk based on supply do not account for potential inhibitors of Mg absorption, including calcium, phytic acid and oxalate, and do not consider household food wastage.
