AB  - Objective: To evaluate associations of demographic and socio-economic factors with diet quality among population subgroups in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). Design: A cross-sectional analysis of 2017 B&H dietary survey data. Diet quality was assessed by the Prime Diet Quality Score (PDQS) utilizing data from two non-consecutive 24 h diet recalls. Socio-economic variables were extracted from the 2015 B&H Household Budget Survey. Homogeneity of means across population subgroups was evaluated using multivariable regression. Setting: B&H population survey. Participants: A population-based sample of 853 adults. Results: The mean PDQS was 15 center dot 8 (range 7-28 out of a possible 42 points). In general, Bosnian adults had low PDQS due to high intakes of refined grains, high-fat dairy and processed meats, and low intakes of whole grains, nuts and fish. The PDQS was significantly higher (P  lt  0 center dot 0001) among older individuals (17 center dot 0) compared with those in the youngest group (14 center dot 5), among individuals living in the central and northern regions (16 center dot 5) compared with those living in the south (15 center dot 1; P  lt  0 center dot 0001), and among people who are married/cohabitating (16 center dot 1) v. single (14 center dot 8; P = 0 center dot 02). In energy-adjusted models, socio-economic status (P = 0 center dot 04) and tertiles of household spending (P = 0 center dot 002) were inversely associated with the PDQS. Conclusions: Diet quality in this population was low. Young and middle-aged individuals, singles and those living in the south had significantly lower quality diets compared with other subgroups. Public health action is needed to promote higher consumption of whole grains, nuts and fish, and a higher variety of fruits and vegetables.

AB  - ObjectivesDietary surveys are essential for guiding national efforts to reduce the burden of non-communicable disease, but individual-level dietary data are lacking in many low- and middle-income countries. We aimed to estimate the prevalence of inadequate and excessive intakes of specific nutrients in Bosnia and Herzegovina.MethodsA dietary survey among 853 adults using two 24-h recalls.ResultsThe majority of men (73%) and women (66%) were overweight/obese, and  gt 50% of participants had elevated blood pressure. Low intakes of N-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids, specifically alpha-linolenic acid (men: 94.4mg/day among, women: 96.6mg/day) and DHA+EPA (men: 18.2mg/day, women: 16.0mg/day), low fiber intake (women: 21.5g/day), and high sodium (men: 3244mg/day, women: 2291mg/) and saturated fatty acids intakes (men: 29.2g/day) were reported. There was also a suggestion of low intakes of vitamins A, B6, C and D (in both sexes), and of riboflavin, folate, B12 and calcium (in women).ConclusionsOur findings provide initial evidence on the Bosnian population's dietary habits and identify aspects that need attention. As the survey evolves into a continuing surveillance system, it will allow evaluation of dietary changes over time.
