    Abstract

    OBJECTIVE: To estimate the intake of ruminant trans fatty acids (TFA) in the Danish population aged 1-80 years.

    DESIGN: Descriptive study.

    SUBJECTS: A sex- and age-stratified random sample drawn from the Danish Civil Registration System. A total of 3098 participants (51% female) aged 1-80 years were included. The participation was 66%. DIETARY INFORMATION: A 7-day dietary record.

    RESULTS: The estimated median intake of ruminant TFA was 1.4 g/day with the 80% central range being from 0.9 to 2.1 among children aged 1-6 years and 1.6 g/day (1.0-2.4) among children aged 7-14 years. The median TFA intake was 1.8 g/day (0.9-2.9) among adults aged 15-29 years and among adults aged 30-80 years. The intake expressed as percentage of energy intake was 0.8, 0.6, 0.7, and 0.7, respectively. Dairy products were the main source of ruminant TFA.

    CONCLUSIONS: The median intake of ruminant TFA in the Danish population aged 1-80 years is estimated to be 1.7 g/day (0.9-2.7), corresponding to 0.7% of energy intake (0.5-1.0), with dairy products being the main source of ruminant TFA.
