Abstract

The purpose of the study is to evaluate the dietary fiber intake and dietary fiber knowledge levels of adult individuals. The study was conducted with 198 individuals. In the study, the researcher questioned the questionnaire form, food consumption record and fiber knowledge level scale questions. From anthropometric measurements, weight and height were recorded according to the statements of the individuals, and waist and hip circumference measurements were taken by the researcher.Daily fiber intake was found to be 14.40±7.08 grams in men (n=88) and 14.62±7.69 grams in women (n=110), with an average of 14.53±7.41. The fiber knowledge level score of men (8.06) is higher than that of women (7.71) (p<0.05). It was found that the amount of fiber intake of individuals was inversely related to the dietary fiber knowledge scale sections and total score, and age and body mass index (BMI) values were inversely related to the total dietary fiber knowledge scale score (p<0.05). In accordance with these results nutrition education programs are needed to sensitize individuals to fiber-based foods and that fiber can help prevent diseases in order to ensure that dietary fiber intake is sufficient.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı yetişkin bireylerin diyet posa alım miktarının ve diyet posası bilgi düzeylerinin değerlendirilmesidir. Çalışma 198 birey ile yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada anket formu, besin tüketim kaydı ve posa bilgi düzeyi ölçeği soruları araştırmacı tarafından sorgulanmıştır. Antropometrik ölçümlerden ağırlık ve boy uzunluğu bireylerin beyanına göre kaydedilmiş, araştırmacı tarafından bel ve kalça çevresi ölçümü alınmıştır. Günlük posa alım miktarı erkeklerde (n=88) 14,40±7,08, kadınlarda (n=110) 14.62±7.69 gram olmak üzere ortalama 14,53±7,41 olarak bulunmuştur. Erkeklerin posa bilgi düzeyi puanı (8.06) kadınlardan (7.71) daha yüksektir (p<0.05). Bireylerin posa alım miktarının diyet posası bilgi ölçeği bölümleri ve toplam skor ile ters yönde, yaş ve beden kütle indeksi (BKİ) değerlerinin de toplam diyet posası bilgi ölçeği skoru ile ters yönde ilişkili olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Bu sonuçlar doğrultusunda diyet posası alımının yeterli olmasını sağlamak için posa kaynaklı besinleri ve posanın hastalıkları önlemeye yardımcı olabileceği konusunda bireyleri duyarlı hale getirmek için beslenme eğitim programlarına ihtiyaç duyulmaktadır.
