The Effect Of Nutrition And Physical Activity On Body Composition And Sleep Quality In 10-12 Years Old School Children

Abstract

Childhood is important for growth and development. The habits gained during this period affect the health of the individual in the future. Recent studies emphasize that sleep quality has a great place among the factors affecting childhood. It is argued that regulation of sleep quality during the developmental period may have positive effects on school success, body composition, physical activity and nutrition. The study, which was conducted to investigate the effects of nutrition and physical activity on body composition and sleep quality in school children, included 300 children between the ages of 10-12. The questionnaire form includes child sleep habits questionnaire index, socio-demographic characteristics, eating habits, physical activity scale for children. In the survey results, it was found that factors such as nutrition affect body composition and this is related to sleep quality. In the evaluation, a significant relationship was determined between the general amount of sleep and the percentile values of the children (p<0.05). At the same time, as the amount of carbohydrate consumption increases, sleep duration decreases by 30.1% and as the amount of energy increases, sleep duration decreases by 35.7%. This emphasizes the connection of sleep with many factors and emphasizes its importance on health. The results obtained from the study were found to be compatible with the literature. More studies are needed to determine the importance of sleep in childhood and to prevent health problems that may occur in adulthood.

10-12 Yaş Okul Çocuklarında Beslenme ve Fiziksel Aktivitenin Vücut Kompozisyonu ve Uyku Kalitesine Etkisi

Öz

Çocukluk dönemi büyüme ve gelişme açısından önemlidir. Bu dönemde kazanılan alışkanlıklar gelecekte bireyin sağlığını etkilemektedir. Son zamanlarda yapılan çalışmalar çocukluk dönemini etkileyen faktörler arasında uyku kalitesinin büyük yer tuttuğunu vurgulamaktadır. Gelişim döneminde uyku kalitesinin düzenlenmesinin okul başarısı, vücut kompozisyonu, fiziksel aktivite ve beslenme üzerinde olumlu etkileri olabileceği savunulmaktadır. Okul çocuklarında beslenme ve fiziksel aktivitenin vücut kompozisyonu ve uyku kalitesine etkisini araştırmak amacıyla yapılan çalışma 10-12 yaş arası 300 çocuğu kapsamaktadır. Anket formu çocuk uyku alışkanlıkları anketi indeksi, sosyo-demografik özellikler, beslenme alışkanlıkları, çocuklar için fiziksel aktivite ölçeğini içermektedir. Anket sonuclarında beslenme gibi faktörlerin vücut kompoziyonunu etkilediği ve bununda uyku kalitesiyle bağlantılı olduğu bulunmuştur. Yapılan değerlendirilmede genel uyku miktarı ile çocukların persentil değerleri ile anlamlı ilişki belirlenmiştir (p<0.05). Aynı zamanda karbonhidrat tüketim miktarı arttıkça uyku süresi %30.1 azalmakta ve enerji miktarı arttıkça uyku süresi %35.7 azalmaktadır. Bu da uykunun birçok faktörle bağlantısını vurgulamakta ve sağlık üzerinde önemini vurgulamaktadır. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar literatür ile uyumlu bulunmuştur. Çocukluk çağında uykunun önemini belirlemek ve yetişkinlik döneminde oluşabilecek sağlık sorunlarını engellemek için daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır.
