Comparison of nutrient intakes of selected populations in the United States and Israel: the Lipid Research Clinics prevalence study

NA Kaufmann, BH Dennis, G Heiss, Y Friedlander, JD Kark and Y Stein

Nutrient intakes of 2,772 US and 2,680 Jerusalem participants of the Lipid Research Clinics Program were assessed by 24-h dietary recall in men aged 15-19 and 40-59 yr and women aged 15-19 and 35-59 yr. Energy intake was higher in the US than in Jerusalem. In Jerusalem intake of total fat ranged between 32.2-33.7% of kcal, of saturated fatty acids (SFA) between 9.8-10.9%, of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PFA) between 7.9-8.6%, of carbohydrates between 50.5-53.9%, and of starch between 24.0-30.5%. The P:S ratio ranged between 0.80 and 1.01. The corresponding ranges for the US were 38.8-40.8% for fat, 14.3-15.9% for SFA, 5.9-6.8% for PFA, 38.9-46.2% for carbohydrates, 17.0-17.9% for starch, and 0.40-0.53 for the P:S ratio. Intake of cholesterol (mg/1000 kcal) was higher in Jerusalem than in the US. These data address the feasibility of reducing fat in diets of free-living, Western populations.
