This work is devoted to the problem of malnutrition of the population of different age groups living in territories radioactively contaminated as a result of the Chernobyl accident, in particular, the insufficient content of calcium and phosphorus.<br>Goal. Generalization of information about the properties of minerals, in particular, calcium and phosphorus, their daily consumption by the population of different age groups living in territories radioactively contaminated as a result of the Chernobyl accident.<br>Materials and Methods. Bibliographic – a theoretical analysis was carried out and the literature data were generalized, the actual content of macronutrients in the diets of various age groups of the population (workingage adult, children, pregnant women) from different settlements of the Ivankovsky district of the Kiev region, living in territories radioactively contaminated as a result of the Chernobyl accident, was analyzed during 2004-2018 The study used questionnaire, mathematical and statistical methods.<br>Results and discussion. It was found that the actual intake of phosphorus with the diet in pregnant women was phosphorus – 76%. As for other age groups of the adult population, the intake of phosphorus from the diet in men was higher than the physiological requirements by 15%, and in women it was within the physiological norms.<br>The phosphorus content in the diet of children living in ecologically dangerous regions of Ukraine satisfied the physiological needs. The human body loses phosphorus mainly with urine (60-65% of the amount ingested with food). The content of phosphorus in the body of patients decreases, they have used antacids for a long period, as well as patients with kidney problems, alcoholism, lowcalorie foods and have chronic diseases. The absorption of calcium in the human body is determined by the ionization of the latter and depends on the content of vitamins A, C, D and F in food, as well as magnesium, phosphorus and protein. Many foods with a high calcium content are simultaneously rich in vitamin D. In connection with this, only 20-30% of the calcium consumed is absorbed. Due to its low bioavailability, it is difficult to satisfy the physiological needs of the body for this essential element.<br>Conclusions. Control of daily consumption and correction of calcium and phosphorus levels are integral components throughout a person’s life, and are extremely necessary for the population of various age groups living in territories radioactively contaminated as a result of the Chernobyl accident, especially for people with age-related changes in the kidneys.</p>}, number={28}, journal={Actual Problems of Nephrology}, author={Matasar Ігнат and Petrishchenko Л. and Matasar Тетяна and Moyseyenko Валентина}, year={2021}, month={Jul.}, pages={10–17} }
