Abstract

Amaç: Araştırmanın amacı, okul öncesi dönem çocukları ve ergenlerin günlük tüketim porsiyonları, meyve ve sebze tüketimine ilişkin tutum ve bilgileri ile karşılaştırılmasıdır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırmanın örneklemini Konya'da yaşayan okul öncesi çocuklar (n=453) ve ergenler (n=453) olmak üzere iki grupta 906 katılımcı oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada tarama modeli kullanılmış ve katılımcılar rastgele seçilmiştir. Veriler, dört bölümden oluşan bir anket ile elde edilmiştir. Bulgular: Sonuçlara göre okul öncesi çocukların %30.9'unun hafif şişman ve %11.7'sinin obez, adölesanların ise %16.3'ünün hafif şişman ve %11'inin obez olduğu belirlendi. Meyveler için günlük önerilen porsiyon tüketimi (RDS) çocuklarda (%98.7) (p>0.05) ve adölesanlarda (%95.1) (p=0.000) yüksek bulunurken, sebzelerde ise sırasıyla %26.7 (p>0.05) ve %74.4 (p=0.000) olarak bulundu. Okul öncesi dönem çocuklarının anne-babalarının ve adölesanların beslenme bilgi puan ortalamaları sırasıyla (x̄±SE) 53.8±0.807 ve 36.2±0.508 bulundu (p=0.000). Sonuç: Okulöncesi çocukların ve adölesanların yeterince meyve tükettikleri, ancak sebzelerde özellikle okul öncesi çocuklarda tüketim düzeyini düşük olduğu belirlendi. Okulöncesi dönem ve adölesan dönemde sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıklarının geliştirilmesiyle meyve ve sebze tüketim düzeyi artırılabilir.

Fruit and Vegetable Consumption, Attitudes and Knowledge in Preschool Children and Adolescents

Abstract

Aim: The aim of the study was compared to the daily consumption servings, attitudes, and knowledge of fruit and vegetable consumption in preschool children and adolescents. Materials and Methods: The study sample consists of 906 participants within two groups including preschool children (n=453) and adolescents (n=453) living in Konya, Turkey. A survey model was used in the study and participants were selected randomized. The data were obtained by a questionnaire consisting of four parts. Results: According to results, 30.9% of the preschool children were found to be overweight and 11.7% obese, whereas 16.3% of the adolescents were overweight and 11% obese. The recommended daily consumption serving (RDS) for fruits was found to be high in both children (98.7%) (p>0.05) and adolescents (95.1%) (p=0.000), but in vegetables it was 26.7% (p>0.05) and 74.4%, respectively (p=0.000). The mean nutrition knowledge score of preschool children’s parents and adolescents was found (x̄±SE) 53.8±0.807 and 36.2±0.508 respectively (p=0.000). Conclusion: It was determined that preschool children and adolescents consumed enough for fruit, but in preschool children the vegetable consumption was low. The fruit and vegetable consumption can be increased by developing healthy eating habits in the preschool and adolescence period.
