[Food consumption in a community of the Parma district (Langhirano). Clinico-metabolic considerations].

Referring to the results of a "pilot" nutritional investigation carried out in a representative mixed sample of a small community of Parma district (Langhirano), the AA. underline the clinical and metabolic implications resulting from the not quite correct nutritional behaviour observed. In fact, in agreement with the national average data reported for italian population from ISTAT, caloric excess, particularly of dietary fat and proteins, was confirmed in this community too. Nevertheless, want of vitamins (D, B1, B2), and minerals (Ca) was paradoxically found. Considering in detail the results some immediate clinical and metabolic consequences come out: namely, want of Ca is prevailing in women and just in the critical age classes (20-40 and 50-59 years, that is in fertile and climacteric ages). When the recommended intake levels are higher. Ferthermore in male-populations, in the class aged 30-50 (that is more vulnerable as to atherosclerosis), was found the highest caloric intake besides in fat and particularly in cholesterol, as to the recommended safety levels. The A.A. conclude pointing out the importance and the necessity of a nutritional notions wide spreading, involving the various responsible public health and social politic organisation of the Country.

Epidemiological aspects and social importance of obesity. The situation in Italy compared with other developed countries.

Epidemiological aspects of obesity have been the object of few studies in Italy, and the results of these are reviewed and compared with those obtained in other developed countries. The prevalence of obesity has been investigated in pre-school and school-age children, in young conscripts and in workers at the Riuniti Hospital in Parma, and the results show that the problem of obesity in Italy is a serious one. More than 2000 obese subjects, attending the First Medical Clinic of Parma University, have been studied to establish how far overweight is responsible for pathological and disabling complications. Obesity was implicated as a major contributing factor in diabeties, atherosclerosis, hypertension, arthritis and many other disabling diseases. The social aspects of the problems of obesity are discussed, together with possible preventive and curative measures.

Dialysis time and the metabolism of carbohydrates and lipids.

The present paper reports some aspects of glycolipid metabolism observed during and after dialysis of varying duration, and the effects of glucose content in dialysis fluid. Some substances used in dialysis interfere with glycolipid metabolism: heparin (Robinson and French, 1960; Wolff and Wolff, 1960); sodium acetate (Bloch, 1947; Ghosal et al, 1969; Mion et al, 1964); and glucose in high (Leonards et al, 1961; Mendelssonhn et al, 1967) or low concentrations (Drukker et al, 1964; Hagstam et al, 1969) or, more recently, completely eliminated (Alwall et al, 1970; Hubner et al, 1971).
