We have questioned 542 men and women living in Yakutia and Evenkia by 24-hour recall method (intake of the main food products). Results. It was found that Yakutia and Evenkia population consume more proteins and fats than population of the European part of the RF and Central Siberia. 24-h energy requirements are provided with fats and carbohydrates.
