DAILY VITAMINS PROVISION OF STUDENTS’ BODY

Abstract

The questionnaire survey method was used to study the students’ vitamin provision from four faculties and three courses of the medical university. The absence of the faculty's value in the levels of vitamins’ intake into the body has been established. The majority of the studied groups showed a low (com-pared to the norm) level of vitamins in the diet with the exception of vitamin C. Studies have shown an inverse relationship of the content of vitamins in the daily diet of students from the study course. We observed a gradual decrease in the vitamin content in the diet as the courses increase (from the 1st to the 5th). There is a statistically significant gender difference in the vitamins’ levels in the diet in all studied cases. So, the girls’diet contents significantly less vitamins than boys have. The obtained data may be the basis for adjusting the organization of student nutrition.
