Abstract

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate vegetable and fruit consumption behavior of children on different socioeconomic status (SES) in 10 to 14 age group.

Methods: A total of 636 adolescents, 46.2% ofwhom were girls and 53.8% were boys, were enrolled inthe official and private junior high schools in Beykoz, İstanbul. Demographic information about students and their families was obtained through a questionnaire. Anthropometric measurements were taken. Daily vegetable fruit consumption was determined. The values of energy andnutrients taken with vegetable fruits were determined using Nutritional Information Systems Package Program (BEBİS) program. The obtained results were comparedwith values specific to Turkey. SPSS 22.0 program wasused for statistical analysis.

Results: 42.5% of the adolescents with a mean BMI of 19.2 ± 3.2kg / m were low and 57.5% were in the high SES group. The rate of being overweight and obese was18.4% for females and 25.8% for males. Daily average vegetable-fruit consumption was 480.8 ± 261.2 grams. Sufficient vegetable-fruit consumption rate was 38% in lowSES, 62% in high SES, and 39% in the whole group. The-re was a statistically significant positive correlation between adequate consumption of vegetables and fruits andhigh SES, female gender, college education and paren-tal work (p<0.05). Consumed vegetables and fruit contributed to the daily energy and nutritional requirements of the adolescents, even at a low rate of 8.5%, butit was found that vitamin C consumption was 183% forfemales and 155% for males.

Abstract

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışma farklı sosyoekonomik düzeydeki (SED) 10-14 yaş grubu çocuklarda sebze-meyve tüketim alışkanlığını değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır.

Yöntem: Çalışmaya İstanbul İli Beykoz İlçesi’ndeki resmi ve özel ortaokullarda öğrenim gören %46.2’si kız  %53.8’i erkek olan toplam 636 adolesan alındı. Öğrencilere ve ailelerine ilişkin demografik bilgiler bir anket formu ile elde edildi. Adolesanların antropometrik ölçümleri alındı. Beden kütle indeksleri (BKİ) hesaplandı.Bir günlük sebze meyve tüketimleri belirlendi. Sebze meyve ile alınan enerji ve besin öğeleri değerleri, bilgisayar ortamında Bilgisayar Destekli Beslenme Programı,Beslenme Bilgi Sistemleri Paket Programı (BEBİS) programı kullanılarak saptandı. Elde edilen sonuçlar, Türkiye’ye Özgü değerler ile karşılaştırıldı. İstatiksel analizler için SPSS 22.0 programı kullanıldı.

Bulgular: BKİ ortalaması 19.2±3.2 kg/m olan adolesanların %42.5’i düşük, %57.5’iyüksek SED grubunda yer aldı. Hafif kilolu ve obez olma oranı kızlarda %18.4, erkeklerde %25.8 olarak bulundu. Günlük ortalama sebze-meyve tüketimi, 480.8±261.2gram olarak saptandı. Yeterli sebze-meyve tüketim oranı, düşük SED’de %38, yüksek SED’de %62, tüm grupta %39 idi. Yeterli miktarda sebze-meyve tüketimi ile yüksek SED, kız cinsiyeti, üniversite ve üzeri anne-baba eğitimi, anne-baba çalışıyor olması arasında istatiksel olarak pozitif yönde anlamlı bir ilişki bulundu (p<0.05). Tü-ketilen sebze-meyvenin, adolesanların günlük enerji ve besin öğeleri gereksinimlerine %8.5 gibi düşük oranda da olsa katkı yaptığı ancak C vitamini gereksinimini kızlarda %183, erkekler de %155 önerilerin üzerinde karşıladığı görüldü.

Sonuç: SED fark etmeksizin, adolesanların büyük çoğunluğunun önerilerin altında sebze-meyve tükettikleri belirlendi.
