This study used the 1987-88 USDA Nationwide Food Consumption Survey to investigate the contribution meat products make to intakes of nutrients at risk of inadequate or excessive consumption by women. The study is unique in that meat nutrients were extracted from mixed dishes, providing a more accurate picture of consumption. Cluster analysis was used to classify nonpregnant, nonlactating women 19 years and older based on their consumption patterns of total meat and individual meats (beef, poultry, processed meats, pork and seafoods) as percent of caloric intake. Total fat and SFA intakes exceeded National Research Council (NRC) goals regardless of meat intake level. Results indicate an inverse relationship of total energy intake and calories from all meats. Total fat intakes had a small, positive relationship with meat calories. Saturated fatty acid (SFA) intakes appeared to have a weak, positive relationship. Vitamin B6 intakes were below the RDA in all clusters but were adequate relative to protein intakes. Iron intakes of women under age 51 were less than 70% of RDA. Zinc had a strong, positive association with total meat intake. Individuals that did not consume beef met only 48% to 62% of RDA. An analysis to determine if increases in vitamin 86, iron, and zinc seen with high meat intake were due to increased meat or caloric intake showed that total fat and SFA increased 12% and 8%, respectively, when ≤ 2 ounces of meat and ≤ 6 ounces of meat were consumed. All of the increase was derived from meat. Vitamin B6, iron, and zinc increased 100%, 59%, and 132%, respectively; 77%, 64%, and 90% were due to meat. In summary, women's diets were significantly low in iron and zinc, which are strongly present in meat products, especially beef. Intakes of vitamin B6 appear to meet calculated needs, but some women may be at risk due to the increased requirements found with age and the low bioavailabilty of plant sources. Attempting to reduce total fat and SFA intakes by reducing meat intake, especially red meat, may have a deleterious effect on women's nutrient status.

The thesis focuses on the topic of changing eating habits from the time of Magdalena Dobromila Rettigová to contemporary trends of healthy lifestyle. It is a gradual development of eating from the late 18th century to the present. In the thereoretic part there is a discription of the contrast of the Czech writer's life and a present-day lifestyle. We can find a chapter about a life of Magdalena Dobromila Rettigová, background information leading up to, writing the cook book "Cooking at home", which became a convenient handbook for women, containing instructions and directions for kitchen guidance and complex advice for women how to manner as a wife, mother and patriot and also their influence on education of young girls. Next chapter deal with the development of kitchen and cooking, habits connected with dining and lifestyle of that time. In the end of the theoretic part is compared the cuisine of the first half ofthe 19 th century to contemporary eating habits and lifestyle. In the empirical part we can find the results of the questionnaires, which were answered in Střední odborné učiliště Toužim and Střední zdravotnická škola a vyšší odborná škola zdravotnická v Karlových Varech. I wanted to find out how far the students follow the rules of lifestyle, what does their wholeday dining look like. The overall...
