BACKGROUND: @entity3088 are a group of bioactive compounds that are extensively found in foodstuffs of plant origin. Their regular consumption plays an important role in the prevention of @entity179 , particularly @entity65 , and @entity5 . OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the study was to estimate dietary @entity3096 intake among Polish and Spanish students and to establish the main dietary sources of @entity3088 . MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study included 91 Polish and 60 Spanish students. Dietary data were collected using a food frequency questionnaire. The dietary USDA Database for the @entity3096 content of selected foods was used to calculate daily and weekly @entity3096 intakes by the subjects. RESULTS: The average @entity3096 consumption in the Polish students was 801 mg/day, and in Spanish students 297 mg/day. Food categories such as beverages, vegetables and fruits were found to be significant sources of @entity3088 , of which tea, oranges, orange juice, dried parsley and oregano were the main contributors among Polish students and oranges, tea, @entity1573 - @entity3587 , orange juice and dried parsley were the main sources of @entity3088 among Spanish students. CONCLUSIONS: @entity3096 consumption in Polish students was more than two times higher than in Spanish students. Compared to other population studies consumption of @entity3088 in both students groups was adequate. KEY WORDS: @entity3088 , @entity3096 intake, patterns of consumption.
