Yetişkin Kadınlarda Yeme Davranışlarının Beslenme Durumu ve Obezite ile İlişkisi

Abstract

Yetişkin kadınlarda yeme davranışları ile enerji, makro besinler ve beden kütle indeksi (BKI) arasındaki ilişki araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın örneklemi Afyonkarahisar ili Sandıklı’da bulunan Sağlıklı Yaşam Merkezi’ne kayıtlı 19-64 yaş aralığı 205 kadın oluşturmuştur. Çalışmada psikolojik bir rahatsızlığı olan, antidepresan kullanan, gebeliği ve emzikliliği bulunan ve çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü olmayan kadınlar çalışma dışı bırakılmıştır. Araştırmacı tarafından kadınların anropometrik ölçümleri alındıktan sonra BKI değeri hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca Bozan tarafından 2009 yılında Türkçe’ye kazandırılan “Hollanda Yeme Davranışı Ölçeği” kadınlara uygulanarak yeme davranışları değerlendirilmiştir. Çalışmadaki katılımcıların günlük tükettikleri enerji ve karbonhidrat miktarı arttıkça dışsal yeme davranış puanlarının da arttığı, kısıtlayıcı yeme davranış puanlarının ise azaldığı görülmüştür. Ayrıca kısıtlayıcı yeme puanları yüksek olan kadınların antropometrik ölçüm değerlerinde azalma gözlenirken, duygusal ve dışsal yeme puanları yüksek olan kadınlarda artışlar tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada obezitenin yeme davranışlarıyla yakından ilişkisi gözlenmiş olup, obezite pandemisinin önlenmesi ve tedavisinde psikolojik faktörlerin de dikkatle incelenmesinin gerekliliğini düşündürmektedir.

Relatıonshıp Between Eatıng Behavıors, Nutrıtıonal Status and Obesıty in Adult Women

Abstract

In this study, it was explored the relationship between eating behaviors and factors such as energy intake, macronutrient distribution, and body mass index (BMI) in women. The sample of the study consisted of 205 women between the ages of 19-64 who came to the Healthy Life Center in Sandıklı district of Afyonkarahisar province. Participants who had a psychological disorder, were using antidepressant medication, were pregnant or breastfeeding, and did not volunteer to participate were not included in the study. BMI values were calculated after the anthropometric measurements of the women were taken by the researcher.In addition, women were assessed for their eating behaviors by “The Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire” (DEBQ), which was adapted into Turkish by Bozan in 2009. Analysis of the findings revealed that as the daily energy and carbohydrate intake of the participants increased, their external eating behavior scores also increased and their restrictive eating behavior scores decreased. In addition, while decreases were observed in anthropometric measurement values of women with high restrictive eating behavior scores, increases were detected in women with high emotional and external eating behavior scores. In this study, a close relationship between obesity and eating behaviors was observed. The psychological factors should be scrutinized in the prevention and treatment of the obesity pandemic.
