Abstract

A review of the literature about micronutrients status of Ile-de-France inhabitants. During the last decades, substantial changes in the French diet had an impact on micronutrients intake. Over this time, several studies conducted in Ile-de-France showed that a large part of its inhabitants is subject to an increased risk of mild to severe deficiency in one or more micronutrient(s). Teenagers and subjects over 70 years-old are groups at risk for vitamin D deficiency. During the 1980s, iron intake was insufficient in a majority of menstruating women and iron deficiency was common during pregnancy. Vitamin C deficiency is constantly present in homeless people and often associated with an insufficient intake in a number of micronutrients. Identification of the groups at risk favours a better adequacy of preventive action on micronutrient deficiencies in this population. However, the efficacy of prevention is to be determined. Controlled trials of micronutrients' supplementation may be useful to value the beneficial effects of micronutrient supplementation on the incidence of cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
