Adölesan Döneminde Beslenme ve Obezite İlişkisinin Değerlendirilmesi

Aslıhan Şahiner, Burcu Yavunç Yeşilkaya

Amaç: Adölesanlarda obezite tüm dünyada oldukça önemli bir durumdur. Güncel araştırmalara göre Türkiye, Avrupa’nın en obez ülkesidir. Koruyucu sağlık politikaları önem kazanmıştır. Halk sağlığının iyileştirilmesi ve korunması için adölesanların sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıkları konusunda yönlendirilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada adölesan dönemindeki öğrencilerin beslenme durumlarının belirlenmesi ve obezite durumlarının incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı bir çalışmadır. Çalışma grubu Amasya’daki bir Anadolu Lisesi’nden rastgele seçilen 204 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. Veriler, literatür taraması sonucunda araştırmacılar tarafından oluşturulan bir anket ile toplanmıştır. Anket demografik bilgileri, yeme alışkanlıkları ve bir besin tüketim sıklığı formunu içermektedir. Bulgular: Sonuçlara göre katılımcıların %59,3’ü kız, %40,7’si erkektir. Ortalama yaş 15,88±0,86’dır; ortalama ağırlık 59,9±11,6kg’dır; ortalama boy 168.1±8.63cm; ortalama Beden Kitle İndeksi (BKİ) 21.1±3.25kg/m2 ’dir. Sonuçlarda yaşa ve ağırlığa göre BKİ persentilleri, kızlarda erkeklere göre daha normal bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Katılımcıların çoğunluğunun normal BKİ değerlerine sahip olduğu görüldü. Ailelerinde obez birey olan öğrencilerin BKİ değerleri daha yüksek olarak saptandı (p<0.05). Öğrencilerin %42,6’sı evdeyken öğün atladığını belirtti. Gıda sıklığı anketinin sonuçları; erkeklerde protein, kolesterol, tiamin, riboflavin, sodyum, kalsiyum, magnezyum, fosfor ve çinko kızlara göre daha yüksek bulundu (p<0.05). Sonuç: Araştırma sonuçlarına göre adölesanların sağlıklı beslenme, öğün zamanlaması, atıştırma konularında beslenme eğitimine ihtiyaçları vardır. Kurumlarda öğrenci ve ailelere beslenme eğitimi verilmesi ve beslenme takibi için beslenme uzmanlarının sağlanması önerilmektedir. Bu destek, yetişkinlik dönemini ve ailesinin diğer nesillerini olumlu yönde etkileyeceği düşünülmektedir
