Cilj: Utvrditi povezanosti uhranjenosti i prehrambenih navika studenata i srednjoškolaca, ovisno o dobi i spolu, te vezu sa samopoštovanjem, zadovoljstvom izgledom i tjelesnom aktivnošću. Ispitanici i metode:
Istraživanje je provedeno u Rijeci 2011./2012. godine na uzorku od 248 studenata (151 mladić i 97 djevojaka), prosječne dobi od 20 godina i 164 srednjoškolca (120 mladića i 44 djevojke) u dobi od šesnaest godina. Uhranjenost ispitanika procjenjivana je na osnovi BMI (kg/m2) i odgovarajućih percentilnih krivulja.
Anketni list je sadržavao pitanja o prehrambenim navikama, bavljenju sportom, zadovoljstvu vlastitim izgledom i načinu na koji se on mijenja te ljestvicu samopoštovanja. Rezultati: Utvrđeno je da se naši ispitanici uglavnom nepravilno hrane. Među srednjoškolcima je 17,1% pretilih, a među studentima 10,2%.
Mnogo je više pretilih mladića nego djevojaka, ali broj pretilih mladića pada zajedno s njihovom dobi. Može
se vidjeti da su srednjoškolci tri puta nezadovoljniji svojim izgledom u odnosu na studente, a ta razlika je izraženije vidljiva u skupini djevojaka. Želeći poboljšati svoj izgled srednjoškolci u odnosu na studente 2,5 puta češće koriste dijetu, dok studenti u odnosu na srednjoškolce 1,6 puta češće kombiniraju tjelesnu aktivnost i promjene u prehrani. Zaključak: Na temelju uočenih rezultata nameće se potreba intenziviranja zdravstveno-odgojnih aktivnosti. Stoga je, zajedno s postojećim programom \u27\u27Debljina je bolest – hrana može biti lijek\u27\u27, započela s radom ambulanta specijalizirana za prevenciju poremećaja u prehrani, u sklopu Centra za mlade – savjetovalište otvorenih vrata.Aims: To determinate the relation between nourishment and nutrition habits among students and secondary school students, depending on age and gender, but also in their relation with self-esteem, satisfaction with their appearance and performing sport activities. Examinees and methods: This research started in Rijeka during the year 2011/2012 by examining 248 twenty-year-old students (151 male and 97 female) and 164 sixteen-year-old high school students (120 male and 44 female). Nutrition was measured by BMI (kg/m2) and on the basis of percentile curves. We used an appropriate survey with questions about dietary habits, sport activities, satisfaction with their appearance and self–esteem questionnaire. Results:
While measuring nutrition, it was determined that improper nutrition was largely present among our subjects. At high school age, 17.1% are obese, while in college that number drops to 10.2%. There are much more obese boys than girls, but the number of obese boys drops along with their age. It can be seen that students are more satisfied with their appearance compared to high school students (p < 0.05), and this difference is particularly evident in the group of girls. High school students more often use diets, while students combine physical activity and changes in nutrition. Conclusion: Pursuant to the perceived results, this imposes a necessity of intensifying health and educational activities. Therefore, together with the existing program \u27\u27Obesity is a disease – food can be the cure\u27\u27, a specialized medical office has started working in preventing nourishment disorders within the Youth Centre– open doors counsel
