Referring to the results of a "pilot" nutritional investigation carried out in a representative mixed sample of a small community of Parma district (Langhirano), the AA. underline the clinical and metabolic implications resulting from the not quite correct nutritional behaviour observed. In fact, in agreement with the national average data reported for italian population from ISTAT, caloric excess, particularly of dietary fat and proteins, was confirmed in this community too. Nevertheless, want of vitamins (D, B1, B2), and minerals (Ca) was paradoxically found. Considering in detail the results some immediate clinical and metabolic consequences come out: namely, want of Ca is prevailing in women and just in the critical age classes (20-40 and 50-59 years, that is in fertile and climacteric ages). When the recommended intake levels are higher. Ferthermore in male-populations, in the class aged 30-50 (that is more vulnerable as to atherosclerosis), was found the highest caloric intake besides in fat and particularly in cholesterol, as to the recommended safety levels. The A.A. conclude pointing out the importance and the necessity of a nutritional notions wide spreading, involving the various responsible public health and social politic organisation of the Country.
