Abstract

Mediji, osobito digitalni, imaju sve važniju ulogu u životu djece jer pružaju brojne mogućnosti za obrazovanje, zabavu i socijalizaciju ali istovremeno donose i brojne izazove. Medijski sadržaji, koji uključuju televiziju, društvene mreže i video igre, mogu imati značajan utjecaj na prehrambene navike djece jer potiču konzumaciju nezdrave hrane i smanjenje tjelesne aktivnosti, što rezultira povećanim rizikom od pretilosti. Utjecaj medija očituje se kroz oglašavanje koje promovira visokokalorične proizvode te kroz prikazivanje stilova života koji često potiču sjedilačke navike. Djeca su izložena reklamama koje nerijetko promiču nezdrave prehrambene proizvode, poput brze hrane, slatkiša i gaziranih pića, čime se oblikuju njihove prehrambene preferencije i povećava unos kalorija. Ovisnost o medijima dodatno pridonosi sedentarnom načinu života, smanjenju socijalnih interakcija i zanemarivanju tjelesne aktivnosti, što su sve čimbenici koji doprinose porastu stope pretilosti među djecom. U sklopu rada su prikazani mediji koji su značajan faktor u oblikovanju prehrambenih navika i načina života djece te je potrebna veća svijest o njihovom utjecaju i odgovorniji pristup u njihovu korištenju kako bi se spriječio porast pretilosti i drugih povezanih zdravstvenih problema kod djece predškolske i osnovnoškolske dobi.

Abstract (english)

Media, especially digital media, play an increasingly important role in children's lives because they provide numerous opportunities for education, entertainment and socialization, but at the same time they also bring numerous challenges. Media content, which includes television, social networks, and video games, can have a significant impact on children's eating habits because they encourage the consumption of unhealthy foods and reduced physical activity, resulting in an increased risk of obesity. The influence of the media is manifested through advertising that promotes high-calorie products and through the portrayal of lifestyles that often encourage sedentary habits. Children are exposed to advertisements that often promote unhealthy food products, such as fast food, sweets and sodas, which shape their food preferences and increase their calorie intake. Dependence on the media further contributes to a sedentary lifestyle, reduced social interactions and neglect of physical activity, all of which are factors that contribute to the rise in obesity rates among children. As part of the work, the media is presented, which is a significant factor in shaping the eating habits and lifestyle of children, and a greater awareness of their influence and a more responsible approach to their use is needed in order to prevent the increase in obesity and other related health problems in children of preschool and primary school age.
