Abstract

This study investigates the mode of eating behavior, its psychological and hygienic aspects, in teleut population residing in Kuzbass region. Emotiogenous eating behavior disorders in teleuts were found to account for 20,1 % of cases, and external disorders were detected in 11,3 % of cases. There has been a strong evidence of an increased rate of anxiety and depression disorders related to emotional type of behavior, 9,8 and 10,6 %, respectively. The dietary habits of Kuzbass teleuts are characterized by consumption of relatively small amounts of meat, milk and fish products, vegetables and fruits, but an excessive intake of potato, bakery and macaroni foods. A greater consumption of meat and milk foods, confectionary and fruits is considered to provide adequate nutritional regimens. We have elaborated treatment-and-rehabilitation programs with consideration to the identified substantial changes in diet composition and eating behavior, as well as psychological specifications of teleuts. Dietary guidelines have also been recommended that can help them to optimize their dietary habits and provide better healthrelated behaviors.
