Abstract

The article examines a clinical case of restrictive nutrition of a 14-year old adolescent who has been restricting meat dishes for a year. Its nutritional status was assessed by bioimpedance measurement. A deficiency of macro and microelements (vitamin D and B12, zinc, magnesium) was revealed. The points of application of alimentary dependent states for these micronutrients are considered. Variants of restrictive diets among young people are described.
