Abstract

Objective: This study was conducted to determine the nutrition exercise behaviors of adolescents and young adults during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted using an online questionnaire between 30 December 2020 and 30 January 2021. In the study, 1173 subjects aged 13-24 years participated. Data were collected by a descriptive features form, which consists of two modules evaluating sociodemographic characteristics and nutritional exercise behavior, and Nutrition Exercise Behavior Scale.
Results: Of the participants, 34.5% were adolescents and 65.5% were young adults. In addition to gaining more weight in women aged 19-25, it was reported that there was an increase in the number of harmful snacks and fast food consumed daily. Most of the participants stated that they did less than 30 minutes of physical activity. Height, weight, and BMI mean score of participants during the COVID-19 increased when compared with the mean score obtained before the pandemic (Z=−14.20; Z=−14.43; Z=−12.00, p <0.05). The mean total Nutrition-Exercise Behavior Scale score was 146.46±20.25 (Min:79, Max:205). It was determined that Body Mass Index, leisure screen time, and screen time during the pandemic were associated with Nutrition-Exercise Behavior Scale (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The study highlights that confinement may affect nutrition-exercise behaviors of both adolescents and young adults.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışma, COVID-19 pandemisinde adölesanlar ve genç erişkinlerin beslenme ve fiziksel aktivite davranışlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel tanımlayıcı tipteki çalışma 30 Aralık 2020 ile 30 Ocak 2021 tarihleri arasında çevrimiçi anket kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Çalışmaya 13-24 yaş arası 1173 kişi katılmıştır. Verilerin toplanmasında sosyodemografik özellikler ve beslenme egzersiz davranışını değerlendiren iki modülden oluşan tanımlayıcı özellikler formu ve beslenme egzersiz davranışları ölçeği kullanılmıştır.
Bulgular: Katılımcıların %34.5'i adölesan, %65.5'i genç yetişkinlerdir. 19-25 yaş arası kadınlarda daha fazla kilo almanın yanı sıra günlük tüketilen zararlı atıştırmalık ve fast food beslenme sayısında artış olduğu belirlenmiştir. Katılımcıların çoğu 30 dakikadan daha az fiziksel aktivite yaptıklarını ifade etmiştir. Katılımcının pandemi döneminde boy, kilo ve beden kitle indeksi ortalama puanlarının pandemi öncesine göre arttığı tespit edilmiştir (Z=-14.20; Z=-14.43; Z=-12.00, p <0.05). Beslenme Egzersiz Davranışları Ölçeği ortalaması 146.46±20.25 (Min:79, Maks:205)’dir. Beden Kitle İndeksi ve ekran süresiyle Beslenme Egzersiz Davranışları Ölçeği arasında önemli ilişki tespit edilmiştir (p < 0.001).
Sonuç: Çalışma, pandemi dönemindeki sınırlamaların adolesan ve genç erişkinlerin beslenme-egzersiz davranışlarını etkileyebileceğini vurgulamaktadır.
