“…When the height and weight were examined, it was found that the height and weight of the males were higher than the females. In a study which was about the prevalence of obesity/overweight in students, the rate of obesity in males was found to be higher than females, while the height, weight and BMI measurements of males were similarly higher than females (23). In another study from Turkey, 75.50% of students had normal body mass index percentages, while were 13.80% overweight and 7.34% obese and it had similar results to our study (24).…”

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/m 2 '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.

“…The prevalence of overweight and obesity in boys was found to be high. Daştan et al ( 25 ) established a statistically significant difference in the prevalence of both overweight ( P = 0.04) and obesity ( P = 0.001) between boys and girls, with a significantly higher prevalence of obesity and overweight among male students than female students. In our study, unlike the last 2 studies mentioned above, there was no statistically significant difference between the sexes in terms of obesity prevalences.…”

Objectives: To examine the prevalence of overweight and obesity in school-age children in Isparta Province, Turkiye, during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, and to compare the results with those of previous studies conducted in Isparta in 2005, 2009, and 2014. Methods: The study was carried out in schools in the city center of Isparta in March 2022, during which the weight and height of students were measured using a scale and stadiometer, and the body mass indices (BMI), BMI percentiles, and z scores were calculated. Results: Of the 8871 students assessed, 4547 (51.3%) were female and the mean age of the sample was 11.92 ± 3.42 (6–18.93) years. The prevalence of overweight was 12%, the prevalence of obesity was 14.5%, and the prevalence of overweight + obesity was 26.5%. A comparison of the figures since 2005 revealed the prevalence of overweight to be stable, while the prevalence of obesity and the prevalence of overweight + obesity were found to have witnessed a increase (χ 2 : 57.01, P < 0.001). The prevalence of obesity was 13% among girls under 11 years of age and 14.3% among girls over 11 years of age; and 18.2% and 12.8% among boys under and over 11 years of age, respectively (χ 2 : 23.26, P < 0.001). The prevalence of obesity was significantly higher in boys under 11 years of age. Conclusions: The prevalence of overweight + obesity was nearly stable in the 3 studies conducted over the 17-year period, but we witnessed an increase in our most recent study conducted during the pandemic. The prevalence of obesity is significantly higher in boys under 11 years of age.

“…10 In case-control studies by Uskun et al it was indicated that there was no statistically significant relationship between the education level of students' mothers and obesity while, in studies by Daştan et al the education level of students' mothers was negatively associated with obesity. 20,21 It is believed that divergences in results of studies are likely to arise from socio-cultural and regional differences of societal groups on which these studies were performed.…”

Background: This research was performed for the purpose of evaluating the relationship between adolescents’ nutritional habits and school achievements.Methods: This is a cross-sectional study and it was performed with the participation of adolescents. Research sample was composed of a total of 1,651 students selected via cluster sampling method from six high-schools and their equivalents chosen through simple random sampling in a manner to ensure that each high school type was represented in the sample from 46 high-schools. Results: The mean of students’ school achievement scores is 72.95±12.28. As per analysis of the correlation between means of scores obtained by students from nutrition exercise behavior scale (NEBS) sub-scales and means of students’ school achievement scores, it was found that students’ school achievement was positively correlated with sub-scales of healthy nutrition-exercise behavior and regularity of meal patterns.Conclusions: It was ascertained that, as scores obtained by students from NEBS increased, students’ school achievement scores went up. It is recommended that, through the cooperation to be established between health professionals, school staff and family, adolescents should be enticed to acquire the healthy food selection autonomy and to make it a part of their lifestyles as of early age.
