Περίληψη:
Anthocyanidins are bioactive flavonoids with potential health-promoting
effects. These may vary among single anthocyanidins considering
differences in their bioavailability and some of the mechanisms
involved. The aim of the present study was to estimate the dietary
intake of anthocyanidins, their food sources and the lifestyle factors
(sex, age, BMI, smoking status, educational level and physisical
activity) involved among twenty-seven centres in ten European countries
participating in the European Prospective Investigation into Cancer and
Nutrition (EPIC) study. Anthocyanidin intake and their food sources for
36 037 subjects, aged between 35 and 74 years, in twenty-seven redefined
centres were obtained using standardised 24 h dietary recall software
(EPIC-SOFT). An ad hoc food composition database on anthocyanidins
(cyanidin, delphinidin, malvidin, pelargonidin, peonidin, petunidin) was
compiled using data from the US Department of Agriculture and
Phenol-Explorer databases and was expanded by adding recipes, estimated
values and cooking factors. For men, the total anthocyanidin mean intake
ranged from 19.83 (SE 1.53) mg/d (Bilthoven, The Netherlands) to 64.88
(SE 1.86) mg/d (Turin, Italy), whereas for women the range was 18.73 (SE
2.80) mg/d (Granada, Spain) to 44.08 (SE 2.45) mg/d (Turin, Italy). A
clear south to north gradient intake was observed. Cyanidins and
malvidins were the main anthocynidin contributors depending on the
region and sex. Anthocyanidin intake was higher in non-obese older
females, non-smokers, and increased with educational level and physical
activity. The major food sources were fruits, wine, non-alcoholic
beverages and some vegetables. The present study shows differences in
both total and individual anthocyanidin intakes and various lifestyle
factors throughout Europe, with some geographical variability in their
food sources.
