Abstract

This study was aimed to evaluate the nutritional status and food diversity of toddlers. In the study done with 302 children and their families, data was collected by means of a face-to-face questionnaire. The weights and heights were measured and their daily food consumption was recorded. The nutrient analysis program (BeBiS) determined the energy and nutrient staken daily, and the obtained values were compared with the Dietary Reference Intakes (DRI). The mean age of the children was 18.6±3.2 months, and the mean body weight and height were 11.4±1.6 kg and 80.6±6.5 cm, respectively. It was observed that daily energy in take was 1000.0±304.1 kcal and that they took protein, vitamins A, E, C, B2, B6, and magnesium, zinc, phosphorus, and sodium above the level recommended. It was determined that their average daily consumption of breast milk and Formula was 120 ml and 65 ml, respectively, and their in take of the dairy and cereal food groups was sufficient, that their consumption of vegetables and fruits was limited, and finally that their consumption of red meat was insufficient It was observed that fruits and vegetables made the lowest (4.5%), and dairy group made the highest contribution (39.4%) to their daily energy in take. It was concluded that the toddlers were generally well-fed, except for the vegetables and fruits, and red meat they consumed insufficiently. The carbohydrate ratio of diets was low, but the fat ratio was high, and they took many nutrients above the level recommended.

BİR- İKİ YAŞ DÖNEMİNDEKİ ÇOCUKLARIN BESLENME DURUMU VE BESİN ÇEŞİTLİLİĞİNİN DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışma bir-iki yaş dönemindeki çocukların beslenme durumları ile besin çeşitliliklerini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. İstanbul ilinde 302 çocuk ile yapılan çalışmada, çocuklar ve ailelere ilişkin bilgiler yüz yüze uygulanan bir anket formu ile elde edilmiştir. Çocukların ağırlık ve boy uzunlukları ölçülmüş ve bir günlük besin tüketimleri kaydedilmiştir. Günlük alınan enerji ve besin ögeleri, besin analiz programı (BeBiS) ile belirlenmiş, elde edilen değerler Diyet Referans Alım (DRI) önerileriyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Çocukların ortalama yaşları 18.6±3.2 ay, vücut ağırlık ve boy uzunlukları sırasıyla 11.4±1.6 kg, 80.6±6.5 cm olarak saptanmıştır. Günlük enerji alımları 1000.0±304.1 kkal olan çocukların, protein, A, E, C, B2, B6 vitaminleri ile magnezyum, çinko, fosfor ve sodyumu önerilerin üstünde aldıkları görülmüştür. Günde ortalama 120ml anne sütü, 65ml formüla alan çocukların, besin gruplarından süt grubu ile ekmek-tahıl grubunun yeterli, sebze ve meyve grubunu sınırda, et grubundan kırmızı eti yetersiz tükettikleri belirlenmiştir. Besin ve besin grupları arasında günlük enerjiye en düşük katkıyı (% 4.5) sebze meyve grubunun, en yüksek katkıyı (% 39.4) süt grubunun yaptığı gözlenmiştir. Bir-iki yaş grubundaki çocukların sınırda tükettikleri sebze-meyve ile yetersiz tükettikleri kırmızı et dışında genel olarak yeterli beslendikleri ve beslenme örüntüsünde karbonhidrat oranının düşük, yağ oranının yüksek olduğu, pek çok besin ögesini de önerilerin üstünde aldıkları bulunmuştur.
