HORBANIUCOVÁ, Tereza
The main theme of the bachelor thesis is Dietary fibre as a diseases prevention: the intake of adolescents and adults. Theoretical part focuses on the information about dietary fibre, its sources and its distinction on water-insoluble dietary fibres and water-soluble dietary fibres and its subtypes. Furthermore, the thesis gives information about dietary fibre's effects on diseases prevention. Lastly, recommended intake of dietary fibre for adults is given as well as adverse effects of dietary fibre when it is taken in higher quantity. Goal of the practical part was to learn about people's general knowledge of dietary fibre and its effects on human organism and to learn about their diet in terms of dietary fibre intake. The goal was fulfilled by questionnaire. Another research goal was to compare dietary fibre intake of adolescents and adults, recommended intake of dietary fibre was considered. This goal was maintained through diet notes which respondents made for four days. These diet notes where calculated in "Nutriservis Professional". Research group had 10 respondents which were divided into two groups. First group consisted of adolescents in the age of 14-16. Second group was formed by adults in the age of 20-25. Based on the results of our research most of the respondents have knowledge about dietary fibre and its effects on human health. From the second part of our research we can assume that most respondents' intake of dietary fibre is insufficient and it does not even cover half of recommended dietary fibre intake.
