Abstract

U ovom su završnom radu predstavljeni konceptualni prehrambeni modeli koji mogu poslužiti kao ogledni primjerci poželjnih prehrambenih obrazaca kod djece s dijagnozom poremećaja hiperaktivnosti i deficita pažnje. Cilj rada bio je na temelju dostupne literature opisati prirodu poremećaja, navesti karakteristične simptome i dijagnostički postupak te opisati standardne i alternativne metode liječenja. Alternativnim metodama liječenja pripada terapija prehranom. Odnosno, pristupa se modifikaciji prehrane ili prehrambenog ponašanja djeteta s ciljem poboljšanja njegovog stanja. Jedan od poželjnih prehrambenih obrazaca je mediteranska dijeta jer obuhvaća namirnice s visokim sadržajem nutrijenata važnih za regulaciju neuroloških funkcija, zdravlje crijevne mikrobiote i ublažavanje simptoma hiperaktivnosti. Za prikaz izvora važnih nutrijenata, mehanizama njihovog djelovanja i primjera uravnoteženih obroka mogu se koristiti konceptualni modeli. Osim toga, preporučuje se ograničavanje unosa dodanog šećera zbog mogućih poboljšanja kod simptoma hiperaktivnosti i impulzivnosti.

Abstract (english)

This undergraduate thesis presents conceptual nutritional models, which could serve as examples of favourable food patterns for children with Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The aim of this study was to describe the nature of disorder, characteristic symptoms, diagnostic procedure, and standard and alternative methods of treatment. Alternative methods of treatment include nutritional therapy. This is achieved through modification of child’s diet or eating behaviour with the aim to improve one’s condition. One of the preferred dietary patterns is the Mediterranean diet because it includes foods with a high content of nutrients important for the regulation of neurological functions, the health of the intestinal microbiota and alleviation of symptoms of hyperactivity. Conceptual models can be used to show sources of important nutrients, mechanisms of their action and examples of balanced meals. It is also recommended to limit the intake of added sugars due to the possible improvement symptoms of hyperactivity and impulsivity.
