Abstract

In this study, we evaluated the relationship among the sociodemographic characteristics of individuals aged ≥65 years who consulted a Family Health Centre in Turkey and their dietary, exercise and medication-use habits. This study aimed to find out the nutrition, medication-use, and exercise habits of the elderly in Turkey and whether demographic characteristics have any impact on their dietary, medication-use, and exercise habits. A 34-item questionnaire was used as a data-collection tool, and body mass index was calculated as an indicator of dietary and exercise habits. Sociodemographic characteristics were independent variables, and dietary habits, physical exercise routines, medication-use habits were dependent variables. Four hundred elderly individuals (208 women, 52%; 192 men, 48%) voluntarily participated in the study. Among them, 270 (67.4%) were in the 65–74-year age group, 279 (69.8%) were married, and 197 (49.2%) were elementary-school graduates. One hundred eighty-two participants (45.5%) were housewives, 192 (48%) were retired, and 294 (73.5%) did not follow a diet plan. One hundred four participants (26%) were Grade-I overweight, 30 (7.5%) were Grade-II overweight, and 3 (0.8%) were morbidly obese. Approximately 70% participants experienced ageing-related changes in their eating habits. One hundred ninety-two participants (48%) undertook physical exercise and sports. Women more frequently had chronic disease (92.3% women vs. 85.9% men), and chronic diseases were the least common among university graduates. Three hundred thirty-five participants with a chronic disease (83.3%) took their medication regularly. Some sociodemographic characteristics of the elderly showed relationships with dietary, exercise, and medication-use habits

Abstract

Bu makalede kullanılan veriler “Yaşlılarda Beslenme, İlaç Kullanımı ve Egzersiz Alışkanlıklarının Başarılı ve Sağlıklı Yaşlanma Açısından Değerlendirilmesi” adlı Yalova Üniversitesi BAP projesinden alınmış ve makalenin özeti 5-8 Ekim 2017 tarihlerinde Bodrum’da gerçekleştirilen “Uluslararası Eğitim ve Değerler Sempozyumu’nda (ISOEVA) sunulmuştur. Bu çalışma da Aile Sağlığı Merkezine başvuran 65 yaş üstü yaşlıların sosyodemografik özellikleri ile beslenme, egzersiz ve ilaç kullanımı alışkanlıkları arasındaki ilişki değerlendirilmiştir. Araştırmada yaşlıların beslenme, ilaç kullanımı ve egzersiz yapma durumları nedir? ve yaşlıların beslenme ve ilaç kullanımı alışkanlıkları ile egzersiz yapma alışkanlıkları arasında sosyodemografik özelliklerin etkisi var mıdır? sorularına cevap aranmıştır. Aile Sağlığı Merkezine başvuran 208’i kadın, 192’si erkek olmak üzere toplam 400 yaşlı birey gönüllülük esasıyla araştırmaya dâhil edilmiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak 34 soruluk anket formu kullanılmış, yaşlıların beslenme alışkanlıklarını görmek için boy ve kiloları da öğrenilerek Beden Kitle İndeksleri (BKE) hesaplanmıştır. Yaşlıların sosyodemografik özellikleri bağımsız değişkeni oluştururken, beslenme alışkanlığı, egzersiz yapma durumları ve ilaç kullanımı alışkanlıkları bağımlı değişkeni oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmaya 208’i (% 52) kadın, 192’si (% 48) erkek olmak üzere toplam 400 yaşlı katılmıştır. Araştırma grubunun 270’ini 65-74 (% 67,4) yaş grubundaki yaşlılar oluşturmaktadır. Yaşlıların 279’u (% 69,8) evli, 197 (% 49,2) yaşlı ise ilkokul mezunudur. Katılımcıların 182’si (%45,5) ev hanımı, 192’si (%48) emeklidir ve 294 (%73,5) yaşlı hiçbir diyet programı uygulamamaktadır. Katılımcıların 104’ü (%26) I. Derecede şişman, 30’u (%7,5) II. Derece şişman, 3’ü (%0,8) morbid şişmandır. Yaşlıların %70’inin beslenme alışkanlığında yaşlılığa bağlı olarak değişim yaşandığı görülmüştür. 192 (%48) yaşlı fiziksel egzersiz ve spor yaparken, 208’i (%52) ise fiziksel egzersiz ve spor yapmamaktadır. Kronik hastalığı olan kadınların (%92,3) oranı erkeklerden (%85,9) daha yüksek iken, en az kronik hastalık üniversite mezunları arasındadır. Kronik hastalığı olan yaşlıların 335’i (% 83,3) ilaçlarını düzenli kullanmaktadır. Yaşlıların bazı sosyodemografik özellikleri ile beslenme, egzersiz ve ilaç kullanımı alışkanlıkları arasında ilişki olduğu saptanmıştır
