Mining leads to excessive heavy metal contamination of agricultural products in Armenia and can adversely impact human health. We quantify the concentrations toxic metals (lead, nickel, cadmium, mercury) food sampled from local markets capital city, Yerevan. combine these measured with data a diet survey 1,195 people. The results provide an estimate people's intake typical day. study finds that only dietary exposure lead raises consumer safety concerns. More than 50 % population have daily...
Adequate dietary iron (Fe) intake is crucial for preventing Fe-deficient anemia, a recognized global public health concern which important in Armenia. This study aimed to analyze the of Fe, both heme (from animal tissues) and non-heme (more prevalent, but less efficiently absorbed), as well Fe sources, among adults representative national sample The was conducted on 1400 individuals aged 18–80 above, who were enrolled from all regions assessed through 24 h recall survey, while occurrence...
The study aimed to assess aflatoxin (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, AFG2) exposure and potential health risks through nuts spices consumption by adults (age 18-65, n = 554) in the capital city of Yerevan, where one-third Armenian population resides. AFs occurrence (peanut, almond, pistachio) (black pepper, red mix spices) was detected using HPLC. Daily products among adult collected a method Food Frequency Questionnaire. deterministic approach for risk assessment involved calculating estimated daily...
There are stringent regulations applicable for trans-fatty acid (TFA) limitations from food supply across the world. However, in Armenia, there is a scarcity of data on TFA content products and their consumption levels. Considering that fast-food among major contributors to intake, this study aims assess dietary exposure TFAs through Yerevan, Armenia. Eleven types were included study. The Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ) was used evaluate daily consumption. contents samples determined...
Household budget surveys are used regularly to estimate dietary intakes. The study aims assess the trends in food consumption and nutrient intake, according 14 indicators from household Armenia. Data on was obtained Armenian Integrated Living Conditions Surveys, 2008–2019. results indicate that of all types foods, including plant-origin has decreased, whereas foods animal origin mostly stayed stable. Over time, energy macronutrient intakes Armenians have while contribution each group total...
Flour-based products and cereals are one of the most consumed food items in Armenia. The aim this study is to conduct Ni risk assessment through consumption flour-based cereals. data has been gathered a 24-hour recall survey, including 1400 adult respondents Republic conducted Margin Exposure (MOE) approach. contents were analyzed using atomic absorption spectrometry. Estimated Daily Intake (EDI) values ranged from 8.63E-06 5.55E-04 mg/kg bw per day did not exceed threshold. average EDI was...
