Comparison of the diet of 50 children, 12 to 15 years old, in a Sardinian village in 1985 with that of a similar group in 1980 showed that the diet was balanced for 67.31 and 40.00%, respectively. Energy intake was above that recommended in 25.53 and 46.66% of the boys and in 5.55 and 12.00% of the girls. Anthropometric measurements had improved during the 5 years with an increase in mean height. Blood lipids were not different except for a slight decrease in total lipids and triglycerides in 1985.
