Özet
Amaç: Bu çalışmada, Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesinde, ilköğretim okullarındaki çocuklarda, vücut kitle indeksi (VKI) ile hesaplanan malnutrisyon, kilolu olma ve obezite sıklığının belirlenmesi sosyodemografik özelliklerin belirlenmesi amaçlandı. Yöntem:Araştırma, kesitsel tipte epidemiyolojik bir çalışma olup, “Tabakalı rasgele örnekleme yöntemi” kullanılarak belirlenen 7-16 yaş grubundaki ilköğretim okul çocuklarını kapsamaktadır. Diyarbakır ve Mardin iI merkezlerinde, toplam 20 okul ve 1912 öğrenci anket formlarını doldurdu. Vücut ağırlığı ve boy ölçümlerinden elde edilen vücut kitle indeksi (VKI), çocukların demografik özellikleri, kardeş sayısı, konut-yaşam koşulları, anne ve baba çalışma ve eğitim durumlarına ilişkin ile ilgili soruların yer aldığı bir anket uygulandı. VKI, International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) ve Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC-US) gelişim kartlarının persentil değerlerine göre sınıflandırıldı. Bulgular: 1040 erkek (%52,3) ve 872 kız (%47,7), toplam 1912 öğrencinin yaş ortalaması 10,82,4 yıl ve VKI ortalaması 17,62,8 kg/m2’dir. CDC sınıflamasına göre, erkek öğrencilerin %7,2’si “düşük kilolu” %12,3’ü “aşırı kilolu ve %3,4’ü “obez” iken; IOTF sınıflamasına gore bunların %5,5’u “aşırı kilolu”, %0,6’sı ise “obez” olarak sınıflandırılmıştı. Kız öğrencilerin, CDC sınıflamasına göre %8,4’ü “düşük kilolu” %11,1’i “aşırı kilolu ve %3,3’ü “obez” iken; IOTF sınıflamasına gore bunların %5,2’si “aşırı kilolu”, %1,2’si ise “obez” olarak sınıflandırılmıştı. Kız ve erkek öğrenciler arasında prevalanslar açısından fark bulunmuyordu (p0.05). Sonuç: Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesinde, ilköğretim okullarındaki çocuklarda en önemli sağlık problemlerinden birisi malnutrisyondur; ancak aşırı kilo ve obezite prevalansı da ihmal edilmeyecek düzeylerdedir.
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the frequency of malnutrition, obesity and overweight, calculated by body mass index (BMI), in elementary school children in the Southeast Anatolia Region of Turkey. Method: This research is a cross-sectional epidemiological study and elementary school children with aged 7-16 years were included randomly by layered random sampling method. A total of selected 20 schools and 1912 students filled the questionnaires in Diyarbakır and Mardin City Centers. A questionnaire included questions related to the educational and professional status of parents, siblings, household conditions, children’s demographic characteristics and body mass indexes, body weight and heights was applied to each student. Determined BMIs were classified according to the percentile values of Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC-US) growth charts and International Obesity Task Force (IOTF). Results: Mean age of 1040 boys (52,3%) and 872 girls (47,7%), totally 1912 students was 10,8±2,4 years and mean BMI was 17,6±2,8 kg/m2. According to CDC classification, 7,2% of male students were categorized as “underweight”, 12,3% of them as “overweight”, and 3,4% of them as “obese” whereas 5,5% of them were categorized as “overweight” and 0,6% of them as “obese” according to IOTF classification. In female students, 8,4% were categorized as “underweight”, 11,1% “overweight”, and 3,3% as “obese” according to CDC classification whereas 5,2% were categorized as “overweight” and 1,2% “obese” according to IOTF. The prevalences were not between boys and girls (p>0.05). Conclusion: In school children in the Southeast Anatolia Region, one of the most important health problems was malnutrition; however prevalances of overweight and obesity had also nonignorable levels.
