Abstract

Poznavanje veličine porcije konzumirane hrane, uz uporabu tablica s kemijskim sastavom, nužan je preduvjet za utvrđivanje unosa energije i hranjivih tvari. Istraživanja su potvrdila da je za djecu potrebno razviti posebne alate za bolju procjenu veličine porcije s obzirom na potrebu za širim rasponom manjih porcija hrane. Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je utvrditi veličine porcija hrane i pića u male djece s područja Republike Hrvatske, te izraditi fotografije temeljene na dobivenim rezultatima. Ispitanici su u ovom istraživanju bila mala djeca u dobi od 11 do 38 mjeseci (N = 102) čiji su roditelji ili skrbnici bili voljni sudjelovati u ovom istraživanju. Oni su u svrhu prikupljanja podataka ispunili opći upitnik i trodnevni dnevnik prehrane. Na temelju podataka dobivenih trodnevnim dnevnikom prehrane o učestalosti konzumacije i rasponu masa namirnica konzumiranih tijekom jednog obroka, za 45 namirnica određene su porcije (u 4 veličine) koje su potom i fotografirane (4 fotografije za 1 namirnicu). U ispitivanom uzorku male djece s područja Republike Hrvatske, utvrđene su veće porcije hrane za 74% namirnica obuhvaćenih ovim istraživanjem, u odnosu na slične studije. Stoga se na temelju rezultata ovog preliminarnog istraživanja može zaključiti da postoji potreba za priručnikom s fotografijama porcija hrane služio kao pomoćni dijetetički alat za procjenu kakvoće prehrane u male djece.

Abstract (english)

Knowledge about consumed food portion size and application of tables with chemical composition are essential for assessing nutrient intake. Studies have confirmed that there is need for special tools for better estimation of portion size in children because a broader range of small portion sizes should be included. The aim of this study was to determine portion sizes of food and drinks consumed by Croatian toddlers and to take pictures based on obtained results. The subjects in this study were toddlers aged from 11 to 38 months (N = 102) whose parents or caregivers agreed to fulfill the general questionnaire and a three-day food diary. Based on data that were obtained by the three-day food diary, 4 portions sizes were calculated for 45 foods and each of them was photographed. Food portions were defined based on consumption frequency and weight ranges of foods that were consumed during one eating occasion. In the study sample of Croatian toddlers was found that 74.35% of foods covered in the survey had larger portions then in other similar studies. Based on results of this preliminary study, it can be concluded that there is need forcountry-specific picture booklet that would be used as an additional tool to determine portion size of food and beverages that were consumed by toddlers.
