NUTRITION-SOCIO-ECONOMIC STATUS RELATIONS EFFECT ON THE PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT OF PRESCHOOL CHILDREN

Abstract

This study was conducted to question the socio-economic and educational status of preschool 4-6-years old children and their families living in Bitlis and its counties; and also, to examine the effects of these variables on the nutrition and physical development status of children. A total of 960 students, 479 boys and 481 girls, aged between 4-6, who were attending preschools in Bitlis and its counties were included in the study. There was a significant difference (P<0.05) between the BMI values ​​of the children and the educational status of their parents; however, there was a very weak correlation between these values ​​(mother (r=0.163), father (r=0.121. When the total daily sleep durations and the BMIs of the children were compared, it was determined that there was a significant difference (P<0.05) and a relation at a moderate severity (r=0.54). It was determined that the nutrition and physical development status of the children was related with the socio-economic and educational levels of the parents with a weak correlation and with a positive and very high correlation with the consumption of some food groups.
