Abstract

Objectives: The aim of the study was to evaluate obesity and hypertension in students of a primary school in Sakarya. Material and Methods: This descriptive study was performed with 402 students in a primary school in Alifuatpasa disctrict in Sakarya. Obese students was determined by WHO criteria and hypertension was determined by American Academy of Pediatrics criteria.

Results: %13.9 of the students were obese and %14.2 of them were overweight. %7.5 of the students had malign hypertension, %12.2 of them had hypertension, %21.9 of them had prehypertension. Eating before sleeping was found to be an associated factor with obesity and having obesity and hypertension in first degree parents and obesity were found as associated factors with hypertension by logistic regression analysis.Conclusion: Evaluation of obesity and hypertension is necessary in terms of school health.

Abstract

Amaç: Sakarya'da bir ilköğretim okulundaki öğrencilerin obezite ve hipertansiyon durumlarının değerlendirilmesidir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma Sakarya ili Ali Fuatpaşa beldesinde bir ilköğretim okulunda 402 öğrenciyle yürütüldü. Öğrencilerin obezite durumları DSÖ'nün kriterleri kullanılarak, hipertansiyon ise Amerikan Pediatri Akademisi'nin yayınladığı standartlara göre tanımlandı. Çalışmanın verileri SPSS paket programında tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve lojistik regresyon analizi kullanılarak değerlendirildi.Bulgular: Öğrencilerin %13.9'u obez ve %14.2'si kilolu bulundu. Öğrencilerin %7.5'inde malign hipertansiyon, %12.2'sinde hipertansiyon, %21.9'unda prehipertansiyon belirlendi. Yapılan lojistik regresyon sonucunda gece yatmadan önce yemek yemek obeziteyle, birinci derece yakınlarında obezite olması, hipertansiyon olması ve obezite hipertansiyonla ilişkili faktörler olarak bulundu.Sonuç: Okul sağlığı açısından obezite ve hipertansiyon değerlendirmeleri gereklidir. Bu nedenle okul çağı çocuklarının muayenelerinde bu iki konu mutlaka yer almalı ve obezite ile hipertansiyon konusunda öğrencilere ve ailelerine eğitimler verilmelidir.
