RESUMO

The riboflavin requirements of two groups of riboflavin-deficient, but otherwise healthy, Guatemalan elderly persons over the age of 60 y were studied by varying the fat:carbohydrate ratio in two diets. The first group consumed a diet similar in macronutrient content to a Western-type diet with low carbohydrate and high fat; the second group consumed a typical Guatemalan diet with high carbohydrate and low fat. Energy and protein intakes of both groups were similar. Riboflavin status was monitored by weekly measurements of erythrocyte glutathione reductase activity coefficient (EGRAC) and urinary riboflavin excretion. Increasing increments of riboflavin were added to the subjects' diets until their status was normalized, as indicated by EGRAC of < 1.34 and a sharp increase in urinary riboflavin excretion. Using the EGRAC method, the mean value of riboflavin intake at which the subjects' EGRAC reached the limit of normality was 1.37 +/- 0.03 mg/d in the first phase and 1.29 +/- 0.03 mg/d in the second phase. The sharp increase in urinary excretion occurred at riboflavin intakes of 1.13 and 1.03 mg/d for Groups 1 and 2, respectively. Thus, the differences between the two groups suggest that diets with a lower fat:carbohydrate ratio can decrease the dietary need for riboflavin. The dietary requirement of riboflavin, as estimated by the more reliable urinary excretion method, was 1.1-1.3 mg/d for those consuming the Western-type diet, which is similar to values found over 40 y ago in young adults. We conclude that the dietary requirements of riboflavin in the elderly do not differ from those of young adults.

RESUMO

The rates of photodecomposition of riboflavine in extracts of standard solutions were determined fluriometrically and related to the concentrations of riboflavine in these solutions. A factor was derived from each standard solution. The average of these factors was applied to convert the rate of photodecomposition of extract of urine to urine riboflavine concentration. Results by this method were closely similar to those by the internal standard method in normal as well as grossly pathological urines. The specificity and accuracy of the method were examined. Nutritional survey with casual urine riboflavine determinations related to creatinine excretion and saturation tests gave results appropriate for the region studied, as demonstrated by previous survey. Six-hour urine riboflavine excretion following saturation tests in 20 adults was 12-48, mean 28+-10.2 (S.D.) ug. percent of test-dose
