Abstract：
Fish intake in youth is commonly inadequate with several potential determinants. This cross-sectional study aimed to assess the influence of potential fish intake determinants in a nationwide sample of Polish youth. Associations between the participants\' fish intake and their gender, age, body mass index, place of residence (region and size of locality), school type, nutritional knowledge about fish, and their parents\'/legal guardians\' fish intake were assessed. A total sample of 1317 adolescents (870 female, 447 male) aged 14-22 from 32 secondary schools from all regions of Poland participated in the study. Median fish intake among the youth was 34.9 g/week. The recommendation to consume at least 300 g of fish/week was followed by 6% of participants. Fish intake was determined by gender and the type of school, with males and comprehensive high school students consuming more fish, but it was not determined by the region or size of the locality of residence and age group, nor did the body mass index determine fish intake. Participants\' fish intake was positively associated with their nutritional knowledge about fish, as well as with their parents\'/legal guardians\' fish intake. Most youths do not follow the recommendation to consume at least 300 g of fish weekly; hence, nutritional education on the recommendations and the benefits of fish consumption is necessary.
摘要：
青年时期的鱼类摄入量通常不足，有几个潜在的决定因素。这项横断面研究旨在评估波兰青年全国样本中潜在鱼类摄入量决定因素的影响。参与者的鱼类摄入量与其性别之间的关联，年龄,身体质量指数,居住地(地区和地区大小)，学校类型,关于鱼的营养知识，和他们的父母/法定监护人的鱼摄入量进行了评估。共有1317名青少年(870名女性，来自波兰所有地区的32所中学的447名14-22岁的男性）参加了这项研究。年轻人的鱼摄入量中位数为34.9克/周。6％的参与者建议每周食用至少300克鱼。鱼的摄入量取决于性别和学校类型，随着男性和综合高中生吃更多的鱼，但这不是由居住地和年龄组的地区或大小决定的，体重指数也没有决定鱼的摄入量。参与者的鱼类摄入量与他们对鱼类的营养知识呈正相关，以及与他们的父母\'/法定监护人\'鱼的摄入量。大多数年轻人不遵循每周至少食用300克鱼的建议；因此，营养教育对鱼类消费的建议和好处是必要的。
