Abstract
Food consumption (divided into 10 food groups) as well as energy and m ain nutrient intake of a Swiss collective (n = 3653) aged 7 years and older was studied. The caloric density was much improved for all five age groups considered as compared with findings in former studies. Car bohydrates gained and alcohol lost significance as main energy supplie rs. These results indicate a positive trend in the dietary habits of t he collective and suggest an improvement in the dietary habits of the Swiss population as a whole.
