Abstract

Starija životna dob sa sobom nosi određene zdravstvene probleme i općeniti pad kvalitete života. Pridržavanjem pravilne prehrane osobe starije životne dobi mogu odgoditi, ublažiti ili liječiti bolesti. Kako bi rastućem broju starijih u RH prenijeli znanje o prehrani potrebno ih je educirati. Cilj rada bio je prikupiti podatke o znanju osoba starije životne dobi o pravilnoj prehrani te rezultate upitnika usporediti s obzirom na njihov omjer opsega struka i bokova. Podaci su prikupljeni modificiranim Upitnikom o općem znanju o prehrani. Odnosi omjera opsega struka i bokova se nisu mogli usporediti sa znanjem ispitanika dobivenim upitnikom jer su svi ispitanici imali veće odnose omjera od granične vrijednosti. Ispitanici su odgovorili ispravno na pitanja iz upitnika s prosjekom od 58 % točnosti te se većina izjasnila da se o svojoj prehrani želi savjetovati s nutricionistom.

Abstract (english)

Older age brings certain health problems and a general decline in the quality of life. By following anadequate, well balanced diet, elderly people can delay, alleviate or treat diseases. In order to impart nutrition knowledge to the growing number of elderly people in the Republic of Croatia, it is necessary to educate them. The aim of this research was to collect data on the nutrition knowledge of elderly people and to compare obtained results with regard to their waist and hip circumference ratio. Data were collected using a modified General Nutrition Knowledge Questionnaire. Respondents' knowledge obtained by the questionnaire could not be compared with the ratio of waist and hip circumferences because all the respondents had ratios higher than the threshold value. Respondents answered the questions in the questionnaire correctly with an average of 58% accuracy, and the majority declared that they would like to consult a nutritionist about their diet.
