This doctor‘s thesis compares the intake of 21 vitamins and minerals of 275 obese and 204 normal weight persons on the basis of prospective 10-day dietary records. Overall, the micronutrient intakes differ only slightly between the two groups. Special attention in the conservative treatment of obesity should be given to calcium, magnesium, folate and beta carotene. The intakes of these micronutrients are in obese lower than in normal weight persons and furthermore significant lower than the D-A-CH reference values.
