Protein focused dietary intake of general wards patients
Kulichová, Štěpánka ; Křížová, Jarmila (advisor) ; Trachta, Pavel (referee)
Introduction: The dietary intake of the elderly, especially the protein intake, is very important as to avoid any complications and for the proper course of hospitalization. Prerequisite for this thesis is that within the general ward we can mostly find elderly patients, therefore, this thesis is focused also on the topic of malnutrition. Malnutrition is very closely connected to the elderly and generally to the dietary intake during hospitalization. Aim: The main aim of this thesis is to outline and review the actual amount of consumed energy and protein of elderly patients in hospitals. The amount is determined by an analysis of returned food and is compared to the recommended intake of energy and protein for individual patients. The objective is also to evaluate possible reasons for the low food intake concerning certain patients. Methods: The energy and protein intake were assessed by the analysis of patient's returned food and then calculated in the nutritional application Nutriservis. The potential reasons for the low food intake concerning the elderly patients were assessed by surveys using frequential, closed-ended questions. A part of the survey was focused on the diet during the stay in the hospital, the other part was inspired by the scale of MNA screening and it was aimed at the BMI...

Protein intake in the menus of school canteens
KULICHOVÁ, Štěpánka
The bachelor thesis focuses on protein intake in the menus of school canteens. The first aim of my bachelor thesis is to map out the amount of protein in the menus of school canteens. The second objective is to assess by observing how many children eat the protein foods in the school canteens. A comparation of the menus of three selected school canteens was the third goal. In the theoretical part of the bachelor thesis I focus on basic information about proteins, such as protein distribution, protein metabolism, protein utilization, their need, lack and excess of protein as well as the need of protein during a childhood. I also mention individual protein foods in connection with the consumer basket. To achieve the aim of the practical part of the bachelor thesis, I used the acquired menus from three selected school canteens from Prague. I have processed the data I obtained in the nutritional program Nutriservis and I obtained data on the amount of protein in the menus of each school canteens. By observing children in these school canteens, I was gained an insight into how many protein foods they eat. The bachelor's thesis could serve as an inspiration for school canteen leaders in the future. According to the results of the research, there is just one of the three school canteens, that serves the optimum value of protein in their menus in accordance with consumer basket. But children actually eat less protein foods than this optimal value.
