The authors made a pilot nutrition survey in a group of 75 women working in the Skoda plant in Plzen. They analyzed the dietary intake during a three-day period. It was revealed that the intake of the investigated group is grossly at variance with principles of rational nutrition. The total energy intake (almost 10,000 kJ/day) comprised 44% fat, 42% carbohydrate and 14% protein. The P/S ratio was 0.36. The nutritional parameters did not correlate significantly with blood lipid levels or other investigated data. Only the total energy intake and total fat intake correlated positively with the BMI.
