Abstract
Uvod: Uspješnost učenika u usvajanju znanja i vještina tijekom školovanja, vrednovana rezultatima i postignućem na ispitima prema unaprijed određenim kriterijima, nazivamo školskim uspjehom. Školski neuspjeh se očituje kao trajan neuspjeh u svim ili nekim predmetima, ponavljanju razreda, prekidu školovanja, ali i učenikovom osjećaju neuspjeha. Među uzroke školskog neuspjeha ubrajaju se zdravstveni čimbenici: spavanje, prehrambene navike, stanje uhranjenosti, tjelesna aktivnost i kronične bolesti zbog kojih djeca izostaju iz škole, a uzimanje lijekova i terapije može utjecati na proces učenja.
Cilj: Prikazati povezanost prehrambenih navika, stanja uhranjenosti i školskog uspjeha.
Metode: Izvršeno je pretraživanje literature u bibliografskim bazama PubMed i Hrčak, u razdoblju od 2008. do 2018. godine, korištenjem ključnih riječi na hrvatskom i engleskom jeziku.
Rezultati: Dosadašnja istraživanja pokazali su da je stanje uhranjenosti – pothranjenost i pretilost, povezano s lošijim školskim uspjehom. Zdrave prehrambene navike, pravilan raspored obroka, unos zdravih namirnica, rijetka konzumacija zaslađenih pića i brze hrane, povezani su s boljim obrazovnim ishodima.
Zaključak: Razumijevanje povezanosti zdravih načina prehrane i stanja uhranjenosti i školskog uspjeha, doprinijet će podizanju svijesti znanstvene i stručne javnosti o važnosti razvoja i očuvanja zdravih životnih navika i normalne tjelesne mase tijekom razdoblja školovanja, kako bi se ostvarili akademski potencijali te očuvalo i unaprijedilo zdravlje.Introduction: Students\u27 success in acquiring knowledge and skills during schooling, evaluated by results and achievement of examinations according to predetermined criteria, is called school success. School failure is manifested as a permanent failure in all or some of subjects, repeating the class, ending schooling, but also student\u27s feeling of failure. Among causes of school failure are health factors: sleep, nutrition habits, nutritional status, physical activity and chronic illnesses for which students are absent from school and taking medication and therapy may affect the learning process.
Aim: To show relationship between dietary habits, nutritional status and school performance.
Methods: Search of literature in bibliographic databases PubMed and Hrčak, from 2008 to 2018, was performed using keywords in Croatian and English.
Results: Previous research has shown that nutritional status - undernutrition and obesity, is associated with poorer school success. Healthy eating habits, proper meal schedules, healthy food intake, low consumption of sweetened drinks and fast food, are associated with better educational outcomes.
Conclusion: Understanding of relationship between healthy nutrition and nutritional status with school success will contribute to raising the awareness of scientific and professional public about the importance of developing and maintaining healthy living habits and normal body mass during schooling periods in order to achieve academic potential and maintain and enhance health
