| Summary: | INTRODUCTION: The study aimed to evaluate the relationship between selected macronutrient intake, body
composition, and adiponectin levels in male and female students with different levels of physical activity.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 198 students with different levels of physical activity were accepted for
the study. Circulating adiponectin was assayed. The daily intake of macronutrients was assessed. Body
composition was evaluated by the bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) method.
RESULTS: Men, regardless of their level of physical activity, had higher height, body weight, lean body mass,
and BMI compared to women. In comparison to men, women had a higher percentage of body fat. Men
consumed more protein, fats, carbohydrates, and fatty acids compared to women.
CONCLUSIONS: The key determinants of adiponectin levels were the level of physical activity, gender, and
percentage of body fat, rather than the intake of the analyzed nutrients. |
