Comparative Study[Selected nutritional behaviours in adults of differentiated nourishment pattern].
The aim of the work was to analyse the selected nutritional behaviours in the adults of differentiated nourishment pattern. The research comprised 90 people of a traditional pattern of nourishment, 86 lactoovovegetarians and 32 vegans aged 20-30. The average vegetarian practice was 6.5 years and vegan 2.9 years. ⋯ Fresh fruit is consumed daily or at least 4 times a week by almost all the vegans (94%), over 2/3 lactoovovegetarians and 60% of traditional people. Pulses are consumed 4-7 times a week by 53% vegans, 1-3 times weekly by nearly 2/3 lactoovovegetarians, but 60% people of a traditional feeding pattern do not consume them every week. The people of a traditional pattern of nourishment assess their way of nourishment as the weakest one and express their highest disbelief in its efficiency in the prevention of diet-dependent ailments.
