                            <p>Amaç: Bu çalışma obezite durumu ile yeme farkındalığı ve diyet alımının değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür.Yöntem: Kesitsel tipte yapılan bu çalışma, Kütahya’da yaşayan 10-11 yaş grubu 298 çocuk ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sosyodemografik bilgiler, Çocuklar İçin Yeme Farkındalığı Ölçeği ve 24 saatlik besin tüketim kaydı, yüz yüze anket yöntemi ile elde edilmiş ve araştırmacı tarafından antropometrik ölçümler alınmıştır.Bulgular: Yaş ortalaması 10,3±0,4 yıl olan katılımcılarda (%50 kız) hafif şişmanlık %19,7; obezite %13,7’dir. Erkeklerde kızlara göre obezite oranı daha yüksektir (p&amp;lt;0,05). Annesi obez, babası lise ve altı eğitim seviyesine sahip olan çocuklarda obezite oranı daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p&amp;lt;0,05). Bilinçsiz yeme skoru erkeklerde, annesi lise ve altı eğitim düzeyine sahip, günde 2 saatten fazla ekran süresi olan ve okula beslenme çantası götürmeyen çocuklarda daha yüksektir (p&amp;lt;0,05). Çocukların yeme farkındalığı ve obezite durumu ile diyet alımları arasında anlamlı fark yoktur.Sonuç: Çocuklarda obezite durumu cinsiyete, anne obezitesi ve baba eğitim düzeyine göre değişmektedir. Anne eğitim düzeyinin düşük, ekran süresinin fazla olması ve erkek cinsiyeti, bilinçsiz yeme skorunu etkilemiştir. Çocuklarda sağlıklı yaşam tarzının benimsenmesine yönelik planlanan çalışmalara aile katılımlı yeme farkındalığı uygulamalarının da eklenmesi önemlidir. Böylelikle, erken yaşlardan itibaren yeme farkındalığının kazanılması, sağlıklı beslenme davranışlarının yetişkinlik dönemine aktarılmasına zemin hazırlayabilir.</p></trans-abstract>

Sociodemographic data, the Mindful Eating Questionnaire for Children, and 24-hour dietary recall were collected through face-to-face surveys. The researcher took anthropometric measurements.Results: The mean age of the participants (50% girls) was 10.3±0.4 years. The prevalence of overweight was 19.7%, and obesity was 13.7%. Obesity rates were significantly higher in boys compared to girls (p&amp;lt;0.05). Children with obese mothers or fathers with a high school education or below had higher obesity rates (p&amp;lt;0.05). Mindless eating scores were higher among boys, children whose mothers had a high school education or below, those with more than two hours of daily screen time, and those who did not bring a lunchbox to school (p&amp;lt;0.05). Dietary intake did not differ significantly according to children&#039;s mindful eating and obesity status.Conclusion: Children’s obesity status varied by gender, maternal obesity, and paternal education. Lower maternal education, longer screen time, and being male were associated with higher mindless eating scores. It is important to include family-based mindful eating practices in programs aimed at promoting healthy lifestyles in children. In this way, acquiring mindful eating from an early age can lay the foundation for the transfer of healthy eating behaviors into adulthood.</p></abstract>
