Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Breakfast, defined as the most important meal of the day, contributed significantly to the daily nutrient intake and energy requirements. The importance of breakfast on growth is known. In this study, we aimed to determine whether primary and secondary school children receive adequate and balanced nutrition at breakfast, to assess the adequacy of their nutritional and energy values in their breakfast.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: We prospectively reviewed the data of 105 students who were followed up between 31 January 2018 and 31 July 2018 in 3 different districts of Ankara. Children aged between 6-15 years were evaluated in the study. BEBIS (Beslenme Bilgi Sistemi) was used for food consumption, amount and content of the nutrients that students received at breakfast.
RESULTS: A total of 105 students' (52 girls, 53 boys) a mean age of 11.5 (range, 6 - 15) years and with a mean Body Mass Index (BMI) of 19.17 (range 14.11 - 29.14) were determined. Average energy intake during the weekdays was 378.96 ± 131.64 kcal for weekdays, while average energy intake during the weekends was 625.68 ± 162.12 kcal. At the weekends, the amount of energy and nutrients intake of the students were found to be higher than on weekdays.
CONCLUSIONS: We emphasized that breakfast is important to supply daily food and energy needs and it is important for physical growth.

TÜRK ÖĞRENCİLERİN GÜNLÜK KAHVALTI TÜKETİMİNİN BÜYÜME ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ

Abstract

AMAÇ: Kahvaltı, günün en önemli öğünü olarak tanımlanmış, günlük besin alımı ve enerji gereksinimlerine önemli ölçüde katkıda bulunmuştur. Kahvaltının büyüme ve gelişme üzerine etkisi ve önemi bilinmektedir. Bu araştırmada, ilk ve orta öğretim okul öğrencilerinin kahvaltıda yeterli ve dengeli besin alıp almadıklarının saptanması, aldıkları besin ve enerji değerlerinin yeterliliğinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Ankara’nın 3 farklı bölgesinde yaşayan 105 öğrenci 31 Ocak 2018 - 31 Temmuz 2018 tarihleri arasında çalışma grubuna dahil edilerek izlendi. Çalışmaya dahil edilen öğrencilerin yaş aralığı 6 - 15 olarak belirlendi. BEBİS (Beslenme Bilgi Sistemi) programı öğrencilerin kahvaltı tüketimi, tüketilenlerin miktarlarının ve içeriklerinin değerlendirilmesi için kullanıldı.
BULGULAR: Çalışmaya katılan 105 öğrencinin (52 kız, 53 erkek) ortalama yaşı 11.5 (6 - 15), ortalama vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) 19.17 (14.11 - 29.14) olarak bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin kahvaltı öğünü ile hafta içi aldıkları ortalama enerji 378.96 ± 131.64 kcal, hafta sonu aldıkları ortalama enerji 625.68 ± 162.12 kcal olarak belirlendi. Öğrencilerin değerlendirilen enerji ve besin öğelerinin tamamında hafta sonu alınan miktar, hafta içi alınana kıyasla daha fazla olarak saptandı.
SONUÇ: Günlük besin ve enerji ihtiyaçlarının karşılanmasında ve fiziksel büyüme üzerinde kahvaltının önemli olduğunu vurguladık.
