Abstract

Objective: Poor appetite is a common problem in childhood. For assessment, history of development, nutrition and family is important. The aim of this study is to evaluate feeding customs of children with poor appetite by a questionnaire. Material and method: Thirty-six children who presented with poor appetite to our clinic between July 2001 and June 2002 were enrolled in the study. The anthropometrical measurements were calculated and feeding histories were evaluated by a questionnaire. Results: Of these cases 17 (47.2 %) were girls, 19 (52.8 %) were boys and their ages were between 1.2-12.9 years (mean 5.8 $\pm$ 3.0 years). Malnutrition was found in 63.9 % of the cases. Appropriate feeding time was found only in 16.7 % of the cases. Playing games during feeding, snacking on between meals and watching televisicn during meals were seen frequently. Conclusion: To prevent poor appetite and sustain adequate nutrition, feeding recommendations according to age should be obeyed from birth on. For evaluation of feeding disorders a detailed feeding history should be taken.

Özet

Amaç: İştahsızlık çocukluk çağında sık görülen bir semptomdur ve değerlendirilmesinde gelişim, beslenme ve aile öyküsü önemlidir.Bu yazıda, kendi ünitemize iştahsızlık yakınması ile başvuran çocuklarda beslenme özelliklerinin anket çalışması ile araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve yöntem: Çalışmaya, Temmuz 2001 ve Haziran 2002 tarihleri arasında iştahsızlık yakınması ile başvuran 36 çocuk alındı. Olguların antropometrik ölçümleri hesaplandı ve anket aracılığıyla beslenme öyküleri değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Çocukların 17 (%47,2)'si kız, 19 (%52,8)'u erkek ve yaşları 1,2-12,9 yıl (ortalama 5,8±3,0 yıl) arasında idi. Olguların %63,9'unda malnütrisyon saptandı. Uy-gun beslenme süresi çocukların ancak %16,7'sinde mevcuttu. Beslerken oyun oyna-ma, atıştırma alışkanlığı ve yemek sırasında televizyon seyretme yüksek oranda saptandı. Sonuç: İştahsızlığın önlenmesi ve yeterli beslenmenin sağlanması için doğumdan itibaren çocuğun yaşına uygun beslenme önerilerine uyulmalıdır. Karşılaşılan uygunsuz yeme davranışlarını değerlendirirken ise ayrıntılı bir beslenme öyküsü alınması gereklidir.
