- Abstract
Gathering knowledge about food and nutritional habits of a population is of the utmost importance since dietary intervention positively impacts health outcomes across the life span. With this transversal epidemiologic study representative of the adult Portuguese population (data from SPCNA), we tried to know the nutritional intake pattern (energy and macronutrients) of the Portuguese population. In an domiciliary individualized interview sociodemographic data were registered and food intake was evaluated by the 24-hour recall method. Portuguese energy intake, is on average, 2056kcal/day, distributed by 19.1% of protein, 45.8% of carbohydrates and 31.3% of total fat, and 3.8% of ethanol. These data will be important to Portuguese public health interventions.
