THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF SOLUBLE-INSOLUBLE FIBRE CONSUMPTION ON COLONIC TRANSIT TIME IN ADULTS

Abstract

The aim of this study is to search for  the effect of different amounts of soluble-insoluble fibre consumption on colonic transit time in adults and to increase the variety of dietary fibre consumption revealing how colonic transit time changes in accordance with fibre types. The study was applied on 381 adults who were 19-65 years old and applied to Private Alanya Life Hospital, Bahar Diet Nutrition Consultation Center and Alanyaşam Nutrition Consultation Center. Socio-demographic features, anthropometric features, nutrition habits, exercise habits, dietary fibre knowledge level, frequency of dietary fibre consumption, amounts of water soluble and insoluble fibre and total fibre and the Bristol stool scale chart for determining colonic transit time of people were questioned. Average amount of daily total fibre consumption of men (24,8±14,0 g) is higher than women (21,7±9,1 g). The Average amount of daily water soluble fibre consumption of men (8,8 ± 5,7 g) is higher than women (7,023 ± 3,3 g) . It is found that the Bristol stool score  is significantly higher in groups consuming spinach more frequently then when we compare the  high Bristol score with normal Bristol score (p=0,025). As a result of The One Way Anova Test to determine whether daily average fibre consumption  of women according to the Bristol scale variance, we saw that there is no significant differences between groups (p=0,785). As a result of analysis to determine whether daily average fibre consumption of men according to the Bristol scale variance, we saw that there is no significant differences between groups (p=0,711). Space ın the study, daily water soluble and insoluble fibre amounts and total fibre amount were compared with Bristol stool form scales; but there was no significant relationship between the amount of fibre and the scores (p>0,05). When we compare Bristol stool scores between groups considering fibre types, we saw that spinach, which is a significant source of insoluble fibre type, is consumed more frequently by people having high Bristol score compared with those having normal Bristol score.
