Cilj: Istražiti prehrambene navike učenika osnovnih škola u Ličko-senjskoj županiji, te ispitati razlike u prehrambenim navikama učenika prema spolu i dobi.
Ispitanici i metode: Provedeno je istraživanje među učenicima prvih, četvrtih i sedmih razreda u Ličko-senjskoj županiji. Istraživanje je provedeno u tri osnovne škole. Upitnikom koji je sadržavao 18 pitanja ispitano je ukupno 365 učenika. Pearson Chi-Square test koristio se za ispitivanje razlike u prehrambenim navikama učenika.
Rezultati: Utvrđeno je da najveći broj učenika jede 3 obroka dnevo (39,7%), dok preporučenih 5 obroka konzumira svega 15,8% ispitanih učenika. Više od polovine učenika u Ličko-senjskoj županiji (56,3%) ne doručkuje, a isto toliko ih 2-3 puta tjedno ili svakodnevno konzumira suhomesnate proizvode i slatkiše.
Trećina ispitanih učenika kao međuobrok konzumira sendvič, dok djevojčice kao međuobrok najčešće uzimaju voće (49,5%). Obrok u školskoj kuhinji jede samo 21,7% učenika, a trećina učenika izjavila je da su gladni za vrijeme boravka u školi.
Ukupno 25% učenika svakodnevno ili 2 - 3 puta tjedno konzumira brzu hranu. Dječaci češće jedu brzu hranu (p=0,003), te više piju gazirane napitke (p=0,020).
Čak 44,9% učenika sedmog razreda gladno je za vrijeme nastave, 26,8% iz četvrtog i 28,6% iz prvog razreda (p=0,004).
Zaključak: Pokazalo se da većina učenika ima loše prehrambene navike. Sukladno tome potrebno je provesti kontinuiranu edukaciju djece, roditelja i nastavnika, cjelokupne zajednice, te je potrebno osigurati dobro energetski i nutritivno izbalansirane obroke u školama. |
