Objective: Hygienic estimation of the provision of vitamins A, E and β-carotene in the dietary intake of cadets of the military lyceum. Methods: 267 cadets of the Bishkek Military Lyceum named after D. Asanov, the dietary intake for the educational period 2014-2015 were studied. The obtained data were compared with the existing norms of physiological needs in basal diet, energy, basic foodstuffs for various groups of the population of the Kyrgyz Republic. Results: The analysis of the actual daily intake of fat-soluble vitamins by adole cadets revealed an insufficient content of vitamin A and β-carotene in the alimentation of adolescents, although the consumption of vitamin E slightly exceeded the recommended standards. A significant difference in the content of liposoluble vitamins was found depending on the season of the year: in autumn (vitamin A), winter and summer periods (β-carotene). The content of fat-soluble vitamins in the ration during the examination period was at the same level, which indirectly indicated an approximately identical food assortment in the diet of cadets at the military lyceum. Conclusion: A possible cause of the growth in the total morbidity among cadets of the Bishkek Military Lyceum named after D. Asanov, according to the analysis of somatic status, by them could be the insufficient intake of vitamin A and β-carotene.
