The role of dietary intake in the development of chronic diseases (cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, obesity, osteoporosis) makes monitoring these factors essential. The launch in France in 2001 of the National Nutrition and Health Program (PNNS) reinforced this need. The objective of this article is to describe nutrient intakes in the SU.VI.MAX cohort, which was followed for 8 years (1995–2002). Analysis of macronutrient intakes showed, between 1995 and 2002, a decrease in total energy intake and an increase in the contribution of total carbohydrates to total energy intake, while that of fats decreased. However, the contribution of simple carbohydrates to total energy intake increased, and the proportion of saturated fatty acids remains too high. While the percentages of individuals whose intakes are below two-thirds of the Recommended Dietary Allowances (RDAs) for vitamin C, calcium, and magnesium remained stable, this is not the case for vitamins B6, B9 (only for women), A, and especially E, for which the percentages increased.
