Abstract

Unatoč dokazima koji postoje o urođenoj sposobnosti regulacije sitosti u male djece, nova istraživanja pokazuju da i mala djeca konzumiraju više hrane kad im je ponuđena veća porcija. Cilj istraživanja bio je utvrditi razlikuje li se masa određenih namirnica koju mala djeca konzumiraju u jednom obroku obzirom na indeks tjelesne mase (ITM) majki. Podaci o veličini porcija prikupljeni su 24-satnim prisjećanjem unosa hrane i pića provedenom tijekom tri dana. U istraživanje je uključeno 33 djece, od kojih je 15 djevojčica i 18 dječaka, dobi od 24-30 mjeseci. Najčešće konzumirane namirnice iz 6 skupina namirnica bile su: bijeli kruh (žitarice), mrkva i krumpir (povrće), jabuka (voće), piletina (meso), mlijeko (mliječni proizvodi) te maslac (skupina masti). U odnosu na preporuke, veličine serviranih porcija bile su veće za sve promatrane namirnice osim za mrkvu. Djeca čije su majke normalne tjelesne mase konzumirala su veće količine navedenih namirnica u odnosu na djecu čije su majke povećane tjelesne mase (ITM≥25kg/m2), razlika je bila statistički značajna samo u slučaju kruha i krumpira (p<0,05). Rezultate je potrebno potvrditi na većem uzorku ispitanika te utvrditi veličine porcija karakteristične za malu djecu u Hrvatskoj. Potrebno je provesti druga istraživanja u kojem će pažnja biti usmjerena na utjecaj roditelja na veličinu porcija serviranih maloj djeci.

Abstract (english)

In spite of evidence about an innate ability of toddlers to self-regulate satiety, new researches show that toddlers eat more when they are offered a larger serving. The aim of this research was to determine a difference in food portions consumed by toddlers according to body mass index (BMI) of their mothers. The data about portion sizes were collected by 24-hour dietary recall during three non-consecutive days. There were 33 children involved in the research, 15 girls and 18 boys, aged 24-30 months. The most consumed foodstuffs from six food groups were: white bread (cereals), carrot and potato (vegetable), apple (fruit), chicken (meat), milk (dairy) and butter (fat group). Compared to recommendations, portion sizes were larger for all foodstuffs except for carrot. The children of mothers with normal BMI consumed larger amounts of all observed foodstuffs than the children of mothers with higher BMI (≥25 kg/m2), the difference was statistically significant only for bread and potato (p<0,05). The resultsshould be confirmed on a larger sample size, and the sizes of typical food portions should be established for toddlers in Croatia. Also, additional research needs to clarify the influence of parents on the sizes of food portions served to toddlers.
