“…Knowledge about healthy food choices and food safety can be a predisposing factor for improving eating habits and adopting a healthy diet (Prell HC.et.al.,2005) although it is insufficient to motivate healthy eating (Niciforovic-Surkovic O. 2002).…”

ÖZETErgenlerde görülen beslenme alışkanlıkları ve uygulamaları veya yeme alışkanlıkları onların sağlığı üzerinde olumsuz sonuçlar doğurabilmektedir. Alkolsüz içecekler, tatlı içecekler, fast food tüketiminin aşırı düzeylere varması alımı, meyve, sebze, tam tahıllı gıdalar, süt ürünleri ve diğer kalsiyum katkılı gıdaların yetersiz alımı; düşük düzeylerde egzersiz yapımı ile artan obezite oranları ile ortaya çıkan olumsuz sağlık sonuçları; bu yaş grubunun beslenme ve yaşam tarzı özelliklerini yeniden gözden geçirmelerinin bir ihtiyaç olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu çalışma Mısır, Suudi Arabistan ve Türkiye arasında karşılaştırmalı bir araştırma olarak farklı kültürlerde ağırlık fazlalığı ya da eksikliğinde (BMI) üniversite öğrencilerinin beslenme alışkanlıklarının etkisini belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu araştırma 450 öğrencinin (her bölgeden 150) beslenme alışkanlıklarını ortaya çıkaracak bir anket formu kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. BMI (ağırlık / boy2 kg / m 2) ölçülmüş (tüm ölçümler çalışma bölgelerinde de aynı koşullar altında alınmıştır) ve göreceli ağırlık endeksi olarak kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar Suudi Arabistanlı öğrencilerin yaklaşık yarısının (% 43.33) kilolu, Türkiye'deki numunelerin çoğunluğunun (% 75.3) normal kilolu olduğunu, Mısır'da ise özellikle kadın katılımcıların 50.67%'sinin kilolu olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Öte yandan sonuçlar; bütün faydalarına rağmen kahvaltının en sık atlanan öğün olması gibi üniversite öğrencileri arasında pek çok sağlıksız beslenme alışkanlıkları olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışma, üniversite öğrencilerinin beslenme alışkanlıklarını değiştirecek, sağlıklı gıda ve diyet çeşitliliğini tanıtacak; eğitim programları önermektedir.

The adverse health consequences that may result from excessive intake of soft drinks, sweet drinks and fast foods consumption; inadequate intake of fruits, vegetables, whole grain foods, dairy products and other calcium-fortified foods; reduced levels of exercise ; and increasing obesity rates indicate a need to revisit the diet and lifestyle characteristics of this age group. This study aims to determine the effect of dietary habits of university students on the weight excess or deficiency (BMI) in different cultures as a comparative study among Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey. A survey was carried out using a questionnaire to consider the dietary habits of 450 university students (150 from of each region). BMI (weight/height2, kg/m2) was measured (all measurements were taken under the same conditions at study regions) and used as index of relative weight. The results indicated that 50.67 % of participants in Egypt, especially female students, were overweight while nearly half of Saudi Arabian students (43.33%) were underweight and the majority of the sample in Turkey (75.3%) was normal weight. On the other hand the results found many of dietary ...

“…In the researches of Turconi et al 22 , Ni iforovi -Šurkovi et al 35 and Croll et al 36 the opposite results were recorded. When these results are considered in relation to eating habits, we can say that our students have better eating habits than they are able to understand the meaning of healthy and unhealthy diet and food.…”

“…A study about nutrition knowledge and behavior conducted among Serbian schoolchildren and their parents indicated discrepancies in nutrition knowledge and behavior in children (23). Although children knew which foods are “healthier” (eg, fruit juice, fruit) they were more likely to choose “unhealthy” foods (sugar-sweetened carbonated beverages, chocolate) (23). In our study, almost all children recognized the positive effects on health of consuming fruits, vegetables, and dairy foods.…”

IntroductionInsufficient intake of fresh fruits, vegetables, and dairy products among children is a serious nutrition-related concern. The aim of our study was to determine behavioral and environmental factors that influence fruit, vegetable, and dairy consumption among Serbian schoolchildren.MethodsWe used 24-hour recall to measure fruit, vegetable, and dairy intake of schoolchildren (N = 212) aged 8 to 11 years from 2 elementary schools in a local community in Serbia. We evaluated potential determinants of intake by using a 48-item questionnaire that asked about children’s behaviors, perceptions of others’ expectations and behaviors, reinforcement of children’s behaviors, and availability of fruits, vegetables, and dairy at home and school. Children completed written questionnaires during 1 school class under teacher supervision. Binary logistic regression was used to analyze determinants of fruit, vegetable, and dairy intake. ResultsNegative predictors of fruit intake were expectations from teacher and parents (P <.001) to eat fruit and availability of fruit in school. Vegetable intake was positively related to paternal modeling behavior (P <.001) and availability of vegetables at home (P = .04). Dairy intake was positively influenced by parental reinforcement (P = .03). ConclusionVarious personal and environmental factors are associated with children’s intake of fruits, vegetables, and dairy. Interventions to promote fruit, vegetable, and dairy consumption in Serbian schoolchildren should focus on modeling and reinforcement by parents and teachers and increasing availability at school and at home.
