ABSTRACT
The aim of this study was to compare the diet of older women examined in 1992 and in 2002. Comparing to 1992, in 2002, a statistically significant increase in calcium, potassium, folates, vitamin C and E content and a significant decrease in sodium content were observed. Despite these positive changes, in both studies the energy of diets and the contents of minerals (besides phosphorus and sodium), vitamins from group B and vitamin D was below the safe level of the Polish RDA.
