Abstract

Prehrana djece u dječjim vrtićima jedna je od najvažnijih javnozdravstvenih tema. Smatra se da poboljšanje kvalitete obroka u dječjim vrtićima može imati povoljan utjecaj na rast i razvoj djeteta, na prevenciju pretilosti i smanjenje kroničnih bolesti povezanih s nepravilnom prehranom. Cilj ovog rada bio je procijeniti energetsku i nutritivnu kakvoću obroka u dječjem vrtiću s područja Zagrebačke županije, uspoređujući dobivene rezultate sa smjernicama propisanim „Programom zdravstvene zaštite... More djece, higijene i pravilne prehrane djece u dječjim vrtićima“ te utvrditi postojanje razlike u kakvoći s obzirom na godišnje doba. Prosječna energetska vrijednost cjelodnevne ponude vrtićkih obroka iznosi 1165,5 ± 183,2 kcal. Prosječan dnevni unos jednostavnih šećera u obrocima veći je, dok je unos prehrambenih vlakna manji od preporučenog. Unos prehrambenih vlakna (p=0,001), natrija (p=0,022), željeza (p=0,001) i niacina (p=0,024) značajno se razlikuje s obzirom na godišnja doba. Prosječna vrijednost nutritivne kvalitete svih serviranih ručkova procijenjenih pomoću HMI indeksa u dječjem vrtiću iznosi 2,6 ± 1,2 boda od moguća 6 boda. Na temelju dobivenih rezultata može se zaključiti da je prehrana u analiziranom dječjem vrtiću prema većini promatranih parametara u skladu s preporukama, no potrebno je obratiti pozornost na unos jednostavnih šećera, prehrambenih vlakana i natrija.

Abstract (english)

Children nutrition in kindergartens is one of the most important public health concern. It is considered that improvement in kindergarten menus quality can have positive influence on children growth and development, and also on prevention of obesity and reduction of chronic diseases related to unhealthy nutrition further in the life. The aim of this study was to evaluate energy and nutritional value of meals in kindergarten from Zagreb county, compared with guidelines from"Program of health... More care for children, hygiene and proper nutrition of children in kindergartens" and to determinate the existence of differences considering the season. Average energy value of all-day kindergarten meals was 1165,5 ± 183,2 kcal. Average daily intake of simple sugar trough kindergarten meals is higher while intake of dietary fibre is lower than recommended. Intake of dietary fibre (p=0,001), sodium (p=0,022), iron (p=0,001) and niacin (p=0,024) significantly differ considering the season. Nutritional quality of all kindergarten lunches was estimated by HMI index and is 2,6 ± 1,2 point out of possible 6 points. Based on the obtained results it can be concluded that the diet in the analysed kindergarten is in accordance with the recommendations for large number of the monitored parameters, but it is necessary to pay attention on intake of simple sugar, dietary fibre and sodium.
