Abstract

Nezdrava prehrana i nedovoljna tjelesna aktivnost, neki su od čimbenika koji mogu utjecati na povećanu tjelesnu masu. Indeks tjelesne mase (ITM) jedan je od načina procjene količine masti u tijelu neke osobe, a prema njemu se djeca svrstavaju u pothranjenu djecu, djecu normalne tjelesne težine, djecu prekomjerne tjelesne težine i pretilu djecu. Cilj rada je utvrditi utječu li prehrambene navike i tjelesna aktivnost u obitelji na indeks tjelesne mase djeteta. U istraživanju je sudjelovalo ukupno 500 roditelja koji imaju djecu u dobi od 2 do 8 godina. Za prikupljanje određenih relevantnih informacija o djeci ispitanih roditelja te o njihovim vlastitim stavovima vezanim uz prehranu i tjelesnu aktivnost korišten je anonimni anketni upitnik. Dobiveni rezultati ukazuju na to da prehrana i tjelesna aktivnost ne utječu u potpunosti na ITM djece te je potrebno raditi daljnja istraživanja koja uključuju i druge faktore koji utječu na pretilost. Neki od njih su genetski faktori, socijalno-ekonomske i kulturološke prilike, obiteljsko okruženje itd.

Abstract (english)

Unhealthy diet and insufficient physical activity are some of the factors that can affect weight gain. Body mass index (BMI) is one way of estimating the amount of fat in a person's body, and according to it, children are classified as malnourished children, children of normal body weight, overweight and obese children. The aim of this study was to determine whether eating habits and physical activity in the family affect the child's body mass index. A total of 500 parents with children aged 2 to 8 years participated in the study. An anonymous survey questionnaire was used to collect certain relevant information about the children of the surveyed parents and about their own attitudes related to diet and physical activity. The obtained results indicate that diet and physical activity do not fully affect the BMI of children and it is necessary to do further research that includes other factors that affect obesity. Some of them are genetic factors, socio-economic and cultural circumstances, family environment, etc.
