Abstract

Background: Determining the allowance ENERGY requirement and comparing it with ENERGY intake in different societies could be a suitable guideline for evaluating the nutritional health. Measuring the ENERGY requirement was managed according to the WHO/FAO and RDA recommendations. The present study was performed to determine the ENERGY intake of residents in District 13th in Tehran and compare it with recommended allowance values.Materials and methods: 403 individuals, including 145 men and 151 women aged 25-50 years, and 57 men and 50 women over 50 years, had been selected randomly through Tehran urban residents. Height, weight, size of waist and hip were all measured using standard techniques, then BMI (Body Mass Index) and WHR (Waist to Hip Ratio) were calculated. Then, with respect to the allocated coefficients (per kilogram and basal ENERGY), the mean ENERGY allowance was determined for different age and sex groups and compared with the values recommended by WHO/FAO and RDA. ENERGY intake to basal metabolism ratio of less than 1.27 was used to identify under-reporting. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY was determined according to the LRC questionnaire.Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity was significantly higher in female in comparison to male (p<0.001) and in young female in comparison to older individuals. (p<0.05) Less than a third of samples had high PHYSICAL ACTIVITY, where female had significantly lesser PHYSICAL ACTIVITY. (p<0.01)Total ENERGY requirement in different studied societies was lesser than those recommended by RDA. Underreporting was recorded 40% in the female societies.Conclusion: Considering the results, changes in life habit in order to improve nutritional patterns and promoting physical activities to diminish high prevalence of obesity and overweight is strongly recommended in Tehran urban society. Meanwhile, for exact estimation of ENERGY intake, especially in women, newly revised methods are required.
