Aim: It has been proven that element content of
drinking water may cause weight gain or weight loss through reducing the
total energy intake or changes in metabolism. However, there is no
research investigating the association between levels of micro element
concentrations in drinking water and body composition of children.
Therefore, we aimed to examine the relationship between micro elements
levels in drinking water and body composition of children.
Material
and Method: The study population consisted of 60 participants of three
groups: 20 overweight, 20 obese, and 20 healthy control children, aged
between 13–18, and grouped according body mass index (BMI) and
percentile curves. Body composition measurements were performed with the
bioelectric impedance device. Micro elements levels in drinking water
including iron (Fe), Cupper (Cu), cobalt (Co) and selenium (Se) were
measured by using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.
Results:
Fe and Co levels in drinking water showed statistically significant
positive correlations with BMI, muscle mass values of the children. On
the other hand, Se content of drinking water showed statistically
significant negative correlations with body fat mass and fat percentage
in children.
Conclusion: High levels of Fe and Co, and low levels of
Se in drinking water may pose great risk to children with the age range
13–18 in terms of developing obesity. However, the relationship between
Fe, Co, and Se levels of drinking water and serum levels of these
elements in children remains unclear. Therefore, further research is
needed in order to lighten up the effect of micro elements in obesity
development in children.

İçme Sularındaki Mikro Element Düzeylerinin Adölesan Vücut Kompozisyonlarına Etkisi

Öz

Amaç: İçme suyu element içeriğinin, toplam enerji
alımını azaltarak ya da metabolizmada değişikliğe neden olarak kilo
alımına veya kilo kaybına neden olabileceği kanıtlanmıştır. Araştırma
içme suyu mikro element düzeyleri ile çocukların vücut element
kompozisyonları arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amacıyla yapıldı.
Materyal
ve Metot: Araştırmada 13–18 yaş aralığında, vücut kütle indeksi (VKİ)
referans değerleri ve persentil eğrilerine göre normal, kilolu ve obez
olarak 20’şer kişilik üç gruba ayrılan 60 kızdan oluşmuştur. Çocukların
vücut kompozisyonları, biyoelektrik impedans cihazı; içme suyundaki
demir (Fe), bakır (Cu), kobalt (Co), selenyumu (Se) içine alan mikro
element düzeyleri indüktif eşleşmiş plazma kütle spektrometre cihazı
kullanılarak ölçüldü.
Bulgular: İçme suyu Fe ve Co seviyeleri,
çocuklara ait VKİ, kas ağırlığı değerleri ile istatistiksel olarak
anlamlı bulundu (p<0,05). İçme suyu Se düzeyleri, vücut yağ kütlesi
ve yağ yüzdesi değerleri ile istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmadı
(p>0,05).
Sonuç: İçme suyu Fe ve Co’ın yüksek düzeyleri ile Se
elementi düşük düzeylerinin adölesan çocuklarda obezite gelişimi
açısından büyük bir risk oluşturabilir. Ancak, Fe, Co ve içme suyu Se
düzeyleri ve çocuklarda bu elementlerin serum düzeyleri arasındaki
ilişki hala belirsizdir. Bu nedenle, çocuklarda obezite gelişimi
açsından mikro elementlerin etkisini aydınlatmak için daha fazla
araştırmaya ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
