The loss of bone mass in women may be even five times higher than in men, so in the osteoporosis preventive strategies, young women are indicated as best potential target group. Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze the osteoporosis risk, on the basis of diet assessment in young Polish women, while satisfying nutritional needs for bone health-related nutrients was taken into account. Material and methods: The study was conducted in the group of 75 women, aged 20-30, who prepared three-day dietary record (14% of underweight, 15% of excessive body mass individuals). The intakes of nutrients being associated directly with risk of osteoporosis (protein, potassium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin B6, folates, vitamin B12, vitamin C) were analysed. Results: The vast majority (89%) of individuals was characterized by lower declared energy intake than calculated requirement. The majority was characterized by inadequate intake of potassium, calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and folates. Only 25% was characterized by an adequate intake of calcium and, while supplementation was taken into account, 10% was characterized by an adequate intake of vitamin D. Conclusions: Following diets declared by the analysed young women may be the factor increasing seriously the risk of osteoporosis, as well as the risk of other diet-related diseases. The low intake of majority of analysed nutrients in the analysed group may result mainly from low energy value of declared diets. Taking into account the proper BMI of the majority of analysed group of young women and low energy value of their declared diets, the common underreporting may be sup- posed, and it may contribute to osteoporosis risk overestimation. Key words: osteoporosis, young women, calcium, vitamin D, nutrients, underreporting.

The study group consisted of 58 people with Parkinson's disease aged 49 to 83 years old, and 26 of their spouses. Percentage of people infected by H. pylori was similar between people with Parkinson's disease and their spouses. In the same time in this study percentage of people infected by this bacterium was lower than in other studies of polish population. There was no relation between Parkinson's disease and H. pylori infection in the investigated group of patients suffering from Parkinson's disease.

The most important component of a well-balanced diet is the proper energetic value. However, adequate estimation of the body’s energy needs is difficult for professional athletes, including soccer players. There is little research showing energy expenditure during training and lack of studies on the energy expenditure of professional female soccer players during a match. Objective. The aim of our study was to estimate energy expenditure during training and official league match in female soccer players and comparing it. Material and methods. Seven Polish professionally practicing soccer females (23.4±6,6 years old; 63.5±7.8 kg; 168.5±5.8 cm; 46±4.4 kg fat-free mass) participated in the study. The participants had their height and body mass measured. Energy expenditure during activities was measured by means of a SenseWear Pro3 Armband device. Body composition was assessed with Akern BIA 101 Anniversary Sport Edition device. Results. Statistically higher energy expenditure was achieved in the study group during the match hour (452±55 kcal/hour) compared to the training hour (353±28 kcal/ hour) as well as in the case of energy expenditure per hour of activity per kg of fat-free mass (match: 9.94±1.75 kcal/kg fat-free mass/hour; training: 7.71±0.8 kcal/kg fat-free mass/hour). During one hour of training, more time was spent on sedentary, light, and moderate activities, but the difference was statistically significant only for light activities. More time during the match hour than during the training hour was spent on vigorous and very vigorous activities. Conclusions. In conclusion, the energy expenditure of the players during the match was greater than in the case of the planned intensive training, which was caused by the timeshare of more intense physical activities and going a longer distance during match.

Equipment and methods The research was completed by 38 professional soccer players of the three soccer leagues: Ekstraleague, I League, and II League. The participants had their height and body mass measured. The data food consumption and iron intake was obtained through the method of a systematic recording of results conducted throughout a 3-day long period and food frequency questionnaire, adapted to evaluation of intake of this particular micronutrients (IRONIC-FFQ). Results The age of the participants was 21 ± 5 years, the height was 167 ± 5 cm, and the body mass median was 59,2 kg. Most common iron sources in study group were cereal products (31,8%), meats (14,1%) and vegetables (9,9%). Iron intake with using IRONIC-FFQ method was 8,06 mg, while using 3-day dietary food record method was 8,8 mg. After comparing both method with each other we found a correlation (P Conclusion In conclusion, iron intake in study group was sufficient. Validation of IRONIC-FFQ with Spearman test gives positive results, but failed with Bland-Altman plot.

A long period of development, high colorectal carcinoma-related mortality as well as significant social and economic costs due to this condition are prerequisites for seeking efficient methods of cancer prevention, including nutritional approach. A number of bioactive components of food is extensively tested for antitumor activity, however limited number of reliable studies on humans impedes the formulation of unequivocal nutritional recommendations. Plant products represent a rich source of numerous phytochemicals endowed with anticancer potential due to, first of all, their free radical scavenger activity.
