Abstract

U modernom svijetu, sve je veći naglasak na zdrav i kvalitetan životni stil. Kako bi pojedinac vodio što zdraviji i kvalitetniji život, on treba imati zdrave i kvalitetne prehrambene navike. Kvalitetne prehrambene navike kod djece ne nastaju slučajno, već su oblikovane utjecajima obitelji i školskog okruženja. Osim zdrave prehrane, ključan je i naglasak na tjelesnoj aktivnosti koja doprinosi općem zdravlju. Nadalje, indeks tjelesne mase (ITM) koristi se za procjenu tjelesne mase učenika, a praćenje prehrambenih navika i tjelesne aktivnosti može pomoći u razumijevanju povezanosti između prehrane, tjelesne aktivnosti i indeksa tjelesne mase. Tako je cilj ovog rada ispitati prehrambene navike učenika osnovnih škola u gradu Zagrebu, zadovoljstvo njihovih roditelja školskom prehranom, kao i povezati njihove prehrambene navike i bavljenje tjelesnim aktivnostima s indeksom tjelesne mase. Istraživanje je provedeno na 119 učenika osnovnih škola u Zagrebu (N=119), a roditelji su služili kao posrednici koji su popunjavali online anketu. Roditelji su odgovarali na pitanja vezana za prehrambene navike vlastitog djeteta u školi i kod kuće, poput količine unosa zaslađenih pića, koliko često dijete jede meso, voće i povrće i slično. Osim prehrane, roditelji su odgovarali na pitanja bave li im se dijete sportom i koliko sati tjedno provede u sportskim aktivnostima. Istraživanje je pokazalo da učenici koji se bave sportom imaju značajno veći indeks tjelesne mase u odnosu na one učenike koji se ne bave sportom, iako je povezanost između količine vremena koje dijete provede u sportskim aktivnostima i indeksa tjelesne mase ispala neznačajna. Nadalje, učenici koji češće jedu hranu izvana, grickalice i slatkiše te imaju veći unos zaslađenih pića, imaju veći indeks tjelesne mase od onih koji rjeđe jedu hranu izvana, grickalice i slatkiše te unose manje količine zaslađenih pića.

Abstract (english)

In the modern world, there is an increasing emphasis on a healthy and quality lifestyle. In order for an individual to lead as healthy and high-quality life as possible, he must have healthy and high-quality eating habits. Quality eating habits in children do not arise by chance, but are shaped by the influence of the family and the school environment. In addition to a healthy diet, an emphasis on physical activity, which contributes to general health, is also crucial. Furthermore, body mass index (BMI) is used to estimate the body mass of students, and tracking eating habits and physical activity can help understand the relationship between diet, physical activity, and body mass index. Thus, the aim of this paper is to examine the eating habits of elementary school students in the city of Zagreb, as well as to connect these eating habits and physical activity with the body mass index. The research was conducted on 119 elementary school students in Zagreb (N=119), and parents served as mediators who filled out the online survey. Parents answered questions related to their child's eating habits at home and at school, such as the amount of sugary drinks consumed, how often the child eats meat, fruit and vegetables, and the like. In addition to nutrition, parents answered questions about whether their children play sports and how many hours a week they spend in sports. The research showed that students who play sports differ significantly from those students who do not play sports in terms of body mass index. Likewise, students who eat snacks and sweets more often and have a higher intake of sweetened drinks have a higher body mass index than those who eat snacks and sweets and consume sweetened drinks less often.
