Giriş: Sosyo-demografik özellikler ve engellilik, beden kitle indeksi üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahiptir ve bu
popülasyonun sağlık sonuçlarını iyileştirmek açısından kritik öneme sahiptir.
Amaç: Bu çalışma, engelli çocukların ve yetişkinlerin sosyodemografik özellikleri ile beden kitle indeksleri
arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Betimleyici çalışmanın örneklemi, bir engelli merkezine kayıtlı engelli çocuklardan oluşmuştur (n = 64). Araştırma verileri Mart-Temmuz 2024 tarihleri arasında sosyodemografik özellikler formu ve belirli beslenme özellikleriyle ilgili bilgileri içeren anket formuyla yüz yüze toplandı. Araştırma verileri tanımlayıcı istatistiklerin yanı sıra, Mann Whitney U testi ve korelasyon analizi kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Toplamda, engelli bireylerin %54,1’i perinatal dönemde meydana gelen travmatik bir olay nedeniyle engelli hale gelmiştir ve %64,9’u erkektir. Ayrıca, %62,2’si günlük aktivitelerde kısmen bağımlıyken, %45,9’u günde 3-4 saatini ekran karşısında geçirmektedir. Beden kitle indeksi (BKİ) kadınlar için 25,38 ± 5,17, erkekler için 22,00 ± 5,81 ve yetişkinler için 25,82 ± 7,42 olarak belirlenmiştir. Engelli çocukların yaygın olarak tükettikleri besinler ile genel diyetleri arasında anlamlı ve pozitif bir korelasyon gözlemlenmiştir. Buna karşılık, uyku süreleri ile rutin olarak tükettikleri besinler arasında negatif bir ilişki bulunmuştur (r = 0.544, p = 0.002; r = -0.385, p = 0.039).
Sonuç: Çalışmada engelli bireylerin orta dereceli obezite ve obezite yaygınlığının ise oldukça düşük olduğu görüldü. Çalışma sonuçları, engelli çocukların uyku sürelerinin ve yeme alışkanlıklarının iyileştirilmesinin gerekliliğini ortaya koymaktadır.

Examination of Socio-Demographic Attributes and Body Mass Indices of Individuals with Disabilities

Öz

Introduction: Sociodemographic characteristics and disability have a significant impact on body mass index and are crucial for improving health outcomes in this population.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the associations between sociodemographic factors and body mass index in children and people with disabilities.
Methods: The descriptive study's sample consisted of impaired children who were registered at a disability center (n = 64). The research data were obtained face-to-face between March and July 2024 using a questionnaire form that included sociodemographic information as well as information on specific nutritional parameters. In addition to descriptive statistics, the Mann-Whitney U test and correlation analysis were performed to assess the research findings.
Results: A total of 54.1% of the impaired individuals acquired their disability due to a traumatic event during the perinatal period, and 64.9% of the disabled individuals were male.. Additionally, 62.2% were partially dependent on daily activities, while 45.9% spent 3-4 hours per day in front of a screen. The body mass index (BMI) was 25.38 ± 5.17 for females, 22.00 ± 5.81 for males, and 25.82 ± 7.42 for adults. A significant positive correlation was observed between the commonly consumed foods of impaired children and their overall diet. In contrast, a negative correlation was
found between their sleep duration and the foods they routinely consumed (r = 0.544, p = 0.002; r = -0.385, p = 0.039).
Conclusion: The study discovered that the frequency of moderate obesity and obesity among people with impaired people was quite low. The study's findings highlight the need to improve impaired children's sleep length and eating habits.
