Abstract

Objective: We aimed to determine the nutritional status of children who applied to polyclinic for any reason. Methods: Anthropometric measurements of 1022 subjects aged between one month and eighteen years were evaluated prospectively between February 2017 and May 2017. According to the Gomez and Waterlow classifications, these measurements were calculated and malnutrition degrees were determined in this respect. Patients were evaluated according to relative weight and body mass index (BMI) in obesity measurement. Some patient groups were not included in the study consciously. These were patients with a birth weight of less than 2.500 g and a history of premature birth, and patients with chronic diseases were not included in the study. Results: The mean age of the patients was 5.7±3.9 years, 501 (49%) were female and 521 (51%) were male. Malnutrition was found in 22.3% (n=228) of the cases. According to the Gomez classification, 172 (16.8%) of them were mild, 53 (5.2%) were moderate, 3 (0.3%) were severe malnutrition. According to the Waterlow classification, 2.7% (n=28) of the cases were diagnosed as acute, 4.2% (n=44) as chronic and 1.8% (n=18) as acute-chronic malnutrition. In the first 6 months, there was no patient with malnutrition before the start of additional food. According to the relative weight, 171 (16.8%) of the cases were above 110%; 1.1% of them (n=12) were under 2 years of age. Of the cases younger than 2 years of age, 0.78% (n=8) were overweight and 0.39% (n=4) were obese. Of the 159 (15.6%) patients with a relative weight above 110%, the rate of BMI was 4.8% (n=50) over 85th percentile, ie overweight, 7.7% (n=78), 95th percentile. ie, obese and 3% (n=31) were within normal limits. Conclusion: According to our study, anthropometric measurements of the patients should be made and their nutrition should be questioned because of the high probability of detecting nutritional disorder. To any patient who came to pediatrics clinic, the importance of breastfeeding should be emphasized, and nutritional disorder rates will decrease with the introduction of additional food at the right time. Moreover, with the explanation of right food and the general nutrition rules, it is believed that the rates of nutritional disorders will decrease.

Özet

Amaç: Herhangi bir nedenle polikliniğimize başvuran çocuklarda nütrisyon durumunun belirlenmesini amaçladık. Yöntemler: Şubat 2017-Mayıs 2017 tarihleri arasında yaşları 1 ay-18 yaş arasında bulunan 1022 hastanın antropometrik ölçümleri prospektif olarak değerlendirildi. Gomez ve Waterlow sınıflamalarına göre bu ölçümlerin hesapları yapılarak malnütrisyon seviyeleri belirlendi. Obezite değerlendirilmesinde rölatif ağırlık ve vücut kitle indeksine (VKİ) göre hastalar ayrı ayrı değerlendirildi. Doğum tartısı 2,500 gramın altında olan ve prematüre doğum öyküsü bulunan hastalar ile kronik hastalığı bulunan hastalar çalışmaya dahil edilmedi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan hastaların yaş ortalaması 5,7±3,9 yaş olup, 501’i (%49) kız, 521’i (%51) erkek idi. Olguların %22,3’ünde (n=228) malnütrisyon saptandı. Gomez sınıflamasına göre bunların 172’si (%16,8) hafif, 53’ü (%5,2) orta, 3’ü (%0,3) ağır derecede malnütrisyonlu idi. Waterlow sınıflamasına göre olguların %2,7’si (n=28) akut, %4,2’si (n=44) kronik, %1,8’i (n=18) akut-kronik malnütrisyon olarak tanımlandı. İlk 6 ayda yani ek gıda başlanması öncesinde malnütrisyon saptanan hastamız yoktu. Rölatif ağırlığa göre olguların 171’i (%16,8) %110’un üstündeydi; bunların %1,1’i (n=12) 2 yaş altındaydı. İki yaş altı olguların %0,78’i (n=8) fazla kilolu, %0,39’u (n=4) ise obez idi. İki yaş üstünde relatif ağırlığı %110 üstünde olan 159 olgunun (%15,6) VKİ’ye göre %4,8’i (n=50) 85. persantil üstünde yani fazla kilolu, %7,7’si (n=78) 95. persantil üstünde yani obez ve %3’ü (n=31) normal sınırlarda idi. Sonuç: Çalışmamıza göre, herhangi bir şikayet ile polikliniğe başvuran hastalar arasında nütrisyonel bozukluk saptanma olasılığı yüksek olması sebebiyle hastaların antropometrik ölçümleri mutlaka yapılmalı ve beslenmeleri sorgulanmalıdır. Genel çocuk polikliniğine başvuran hastalarda; emzirmenin öneminin vurgulanması, doğru zamanda ve doğru besinle ek gıdaya başlanılması ve genel beslenme kurallarının anlatılması ile nütrisyonel bozukluk oranlarının düşeceğine inanılmaktadır.
