Abstract

Glavni čimbenik koji osigurava pravilan rast i razvoj djeteta jest primjerena prehrana. Djeci predškolske dobi potrebna je raznovrsna hrana bogata nutrijentima odnosno ugljikohidratima, bjelančevinama, mastima, vitaminima mineralima i vodom. Kvaliteta prehrane važan je čimbenik koji doprinosi optimalnom zdravlju i prevenciji kroničnih bolesti. Posljednjih desetljeća povećao se broj prekomjerne težine i pretilosti među djecom. Neka istraživanja upućuju na to da je prekomjernu tjelesnu težinu i pretilost koje rezultiraju u predškolskoj dobi teško preokrenuti i da su povezani s mnogim ozbiljnim zdravstvenim komplikacijama i povećanim rizikom od prerane bolesti i smrti u odrasloj dobi. Istraživanje provedeno u ovom radu pokazalo je da roditelji djece predškolske dobi od 2 do 6 godina brinu o zdravim prehrambenim navikama svoje djece. Iako neka djeca konzumiraju voće i povrće rjeđe nego što se to preporučuje, većina djece jede uravnotežene, zdrave i nutrijentima bogate obroke. Većina djece ostvaruje 180 i više minuta tjelesne aktivnosti dnevno što je dodatni poticaj usvajanju zdravih životnih navika.

Abstract (english)

The main factor that ensures proper growth and development of a child is adequate nutrition. Preschool children need a variety of food rich in nutrients, i.e. carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals and water. The quality of nutrition is an important factor that contributes to optimal health and prevention of chronic diseases. In recent decades, the number of overweight and obesity among children has increased. Some research suggests that overweight and obesity that result in preschool are difficult to reverse and are associated with many serious health complications and an increased risk of premature disease and death in adulthood. The research conducted in this paper showed that parents take care of their children's healthy eating habits. Although some children consume fruits and vegetables less often than recommended, most children eat balanced, healthy and nutrient-rich meals. Most children achieve 180 or more minutes of physical activity per day, which is an additional incentive to adopt healthy lifestyle habits.
