Özet

Obezite günümüz toplumlarını tehdit eden hastalıklar arasında yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada Ankara'da yaşayan alt sosyoekonomik konumdaki çocuklarda kilo fazlalığı ve obezitenin ne ölçüde yaygın olduğu tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Araştırma, alt sosyoekonomik gruba mensup 7-14 yaşlarındaki 891 (446 kız, 445 erkek) öğrenci üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bireylerin boy uzunluğu ve vücut ağırlığı ölçülmüş, beden kitle indeksi (BKİ) değerleri hesaplanmıştır. Şişmanlık oranı belirlenirken ABD'li çocukların referans değerleri esas alınmış (National Health and Nutritional Examination Survey HI) ve 85-94.9'inci persentil değerleri arasında yer alanlar "fazla kilolu", 95'inci persentil ve üzerindeki değere sahip olanlar "şişman" olarak kabul edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak Örneklemde yer alan erkek çocukların %7.69'unun, kızların ise %3.82'isinin aşırı kilolu grupta yer aldığı ortaya konmuştur. Şişmanlık oranları ise erkeklerde %1.49, kızlarda %2.29'dur. Çalışmamızda elde edilen şişmanlık oranı obeziteyle ilgili diğer çalışmalarla karşılaştırıldığında "düşük frekanslardadır. Bu bulgular, alt sosyoekonomik düzeyde obezitenin önemli bir sorun olmadığını göstermektedir.
