Abstract

Prehrambene smjernice sadrže savjete za konzumaciju pojedinih skupina hrane pisane jednostavnom terminologijom, a namijenjene su općoj populaciji s ciljem podržavanja pravilne prehrane. Smjernice je poželjno razvijati prema dobnim skupinama uvažavajući javnozdravstvenu situaciju i kulturološki aspekt zemlje. Cilj ovoga rada je usporediti prehrambene smjernice europskih zemalja namijenjenih djeci osnovnoškolske dobi s obzirom na vrstu preporuka. U rad je uključeno 25 prehrambenih smjernica (57 % europskih država), pronađenih kroz repozitorij Organizacije za hranu i poljoprivredu te institucija europskih zemalja. Komparativnom analizom je utvrđeno da se smjernice vezane uz hranu mogu podijeliti u sedam glavnih skupina unutar kojih se mogu raspodijeliti na do osam kategorija hrane. U svim kategorijama hrane najviše su zastupljene kvalitativne preporuke. Zaključno, iako postoji varijabilnost u smjernicama s obzirom na kategorizaciju hrane, u većini njih potiče se konzumacija cjelovitih žitarica, biljnih izvora proteina te voća i povrća, odnosno ograničava konzumacija hrane i pića s visokim udjelom masti, šećera i soli što ukazuje na problem u današnjim prehrambenim navikama djece.

Abstract (english)

Food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) contain recommendations for the consumption of food groups for the general population, written in simple terminology, to support healthy dietary patterns. It is desirable to develop FBDGs for each life stage, taking into account the public health situation and the cultural aspect of the country. The aim of this study is to compare the FBDGs of European countries intended for school-aged children in terms of the nature of recommendations. The study includes 25 FBDGs (57 % of European countries) found through the repository of the Food and Agriculture Organization and institutions of European countries. The comparative analysis revealed that the dietary recommendations in the FBDGs can be divided into seven main groups, within which they can be subdivided into up to eight food categories. The quantitative recommendations are the most widespread in all food categories. In conclusion, although the FBDGs differ in terms of food categorization, most of them promote the consumption of whole grains, plant-based protein, fruits and vegetables or restrict the consumption of foods and beverages high in fat, sugar and salt, which points to a contemporary problem in children's diets.
