Fatty acids intake among diverse ethnic groups in Indonesia
Abstract: The use of dietary
pattern specifically fatty acids intake should prove to be an informative and
powerful means to augment our understanding of the role of diet in chronic
disease particularly CHD. Cross sectional study was implemented to describe the
nutrients intake specifically fatty acids intake of 4 (four) ethnic groups in
Indonesia, such as Minangkabau, Sundanese, Javanese and Buginese. The
percentage of saturated fatty acid (SAFA) to total energy intakes were around
20%. The percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) to the total energy
were about 4.4% to 4.6% among the Sundanese and the Javanese.While among the
other two ethnic groups, the percentage of PUFA to total energy were less, 2.6
% among the Minangkabau and 2.8% among the Buginese ethnic. The percentage of
mono unsaturated fatty acid (MUFA) to total energy intake were higher among the
two ethnic groups, Sundanese and Javanese (6.1% vs. 5.5%). While the
percentages of MUFA between the other two ethnic groups Minangkabau and
Buginese ethnic were lower (2.6% vs. 2.8%). Based on the ratio of PUFA: MUFA:
SAFA, we could consider that Minangkabau and Buginese ethnic groups both had
poor quality of dietary fat pattern. Having the poor quality of dietary fat
pattern and higher fat intake, we might take into consideration that the
Minangkabau ethnic groups, had higher risk toward dyslipidemia compared to the
other three ethnic groups.
