Dietary assessment and dietary fattyacids composition ratios of type Ⅱ diabetic patients：Use of an accuracy improved food frequency method

One month dietary status and dietary fatty acids composition rations of type Ⅱ diabetic patients(NIDDM) was investigated by an accuracy improved food frequency method in a face to face way.The results showed that the compositions ratio of cereals,meat,fishes and oil consumed by patients were lower than those by urban people in Guangdong province but the ratos of soybean products,egg or milk,vegetables and fruit were higher.Patients with different activities consumed energy more than 90% RDA and beyond the high limit of NIDDM recomended value.The consumption of calcium and thiamin were below 80% RDA.The dietary fatty acids ratio was 1:1.77:1.27 for patients with very light activities and was 1:1.60:1.20 for those with light activities.The ratio of polyunsaturated fatty acids to saturated fatty acids was less than 1.5.The results suggested that the consumption of energy should be decreased and the intake of polyunsaturated fatty acids should be increased.
