| Abstract | Svrha: Glavni cilj ovoga istraživanja bio je utvrditi postoji li razlika u pokazateljima uhranjenosti između adolescenata koji žive u ruralnim i urbanim područjima. Metode: Istraživanje je dio CRO-PALS longitudinalne opservacijske studije, a uzorak ispitanika sačinjava 750 srednjoškolaca dobi 15,6 ± 0,4 god. (49% djevojke, 51% mladići). Za utvrđivanje razlika u pokazateljima uhranjenosti korišten je studentov t-test, hi kvadrat test i logistička regresijska analiza na varijablama: indeks tjelesne mase, postotak potkožne tjelesne masti i opseg struka, dok je pri klasifikaciji ruralnih i urbanih područja korišten kriterij Eurostata, a podatci su dobiveni od Državnog zavoda za statistiku. Rezultati: Nisu zabilježene statistički značajne razlike u pokazateljima uhranjenosti između djevojaka iz ruralnih i urbanih sredina: ITM (𝑋̅Urb-Rur = -0,22, 95% CI = -1,02 ̶ 0,59, p = 0,6), postotak potkožne tjelesne masti (𝑋̅Urb-Rur = 0,2, 95% CI = -0,87 ̶ 1,26, p = 0,72) i opseg struka (𝑋̅Urb-Rur = 0,2, 95% CI = -1,55 ̶ 1,94, p = 0,82). Kod dječaka iz urbanih sredina uočen je trend prema manjoj adipoznosti u odnosu na vršnjake iz ruralnih sredina, međutim te razlike nisu dosegle razinu statističke značajnosti sa vrijednostima ITM-a: (𝑋̅Urb-Rur = -0,81, 95% CI = -1,72 ̶ 0,11, p = 0,08) , postotak potkožne tjelesne masti (𝑋̅Urb-Rur = -1,61, 95% CI = -3,68 ̶ 0,46, p = 0,13), opseg struka (𝑋̅Urb-Rur = -2,01, 95% CI = -4,17 ̶ 0,14, p = 0,07). Nadalje, urbano mjesto prebivališta nije se pokazalo kao značajan prediktor za povećanje ili smanjenje vjerojatnosti nastanka prekomjerne tjelesne mase i pretilosti ni kod djevojaka (OV = 0,705, p = 0,28, OV = 1,932, p = 0,54), niti kod mladića (OV = 0,964, p = 0,91, OV = 0,709, p = 0,52). Zaključak: Mjesto prebivališta (ruralno/urbano) nije snažnije povezano s većom adipoznošću niti s većom vjerojatnošću za prekomjernu tjelesnu masu ili pretilost kod adolescenata. |
| Abstract (english) | Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the differences in nutritional status among rural and urban adolescents. Methods: This research is a part of the Croatian physical activity in adolescence longitudinal study (CRO-PALS). This investigation is based on 750 participants (49% girls, 51% boys) aged 15,6 ± 0,4 years. Student's t-test, chi-square test and logistic regression analysis on variables: body mass index, percentage of subcutaneous body fat and waist circumference were used to determine differences in nutrition indicators, while Eurostat criteria was used in the classification of rural and urban areas, obtained from the Croatian Central Bureau of Statistics. Results: No statistically significant difference in nutritional indicators was found between rural and urban girls where BMI was (𝑋̅Urb-Rur = -0,22, 95% CI = -1,02 ̶ 0,59, p = 0,6), percentage of subcutaneous body fat (𝑋̅Urb-Rur = 0,2, 95% CI = -0,87 ̶ 1,26, p = 0,72), waist circumference (𝑋̅Urb-Rur = 0,2, 95% CI = -1,55 ̶ 1,94, p = 0,82), and differences, though greater in boys BMI (𝑋̅Urb-Rur = -0,81, 95% CI = -1,72 ̶ 0,11, p = 0,08), percentage of subcutaneous body fat (𝑋̅Urb-Rur = -1,61, 95% CI = -3,68 ̶ 0,46, p = 0,13) and waist circumference (𝑋̅Urb-Rur = -2,01, 95% CI = -4,17 ̶ 0,14, p = 0,07) still did not reach the significance threshold. Furthermore, urban setting, did not prove to be significant predictor of increased or decreased likelihood for overweight and obesity in either girls (OR = 0,705, p = 0,28, OR = 1,932, p = 0,54) or boys (OR = 0,964, p = 0,91, OR = 0,709, p = 0,52). Conclusion: Rural/urban setting is not associated with higher adiposity or greater likelihood of overweight or obesity in adolescents |
