The Situation of Health Care of Preschool children

U ovom će se radu pokušati objasniti sam pojam uhranjenosti. Svrha i cilj ovog rada stemom „Stanje uhranjenosti kod predškolske djece“ je osvijestiti problem koji je danas sve više i više prisutan. Kako bi se dijete što pravilnije razvijalo, potrebno je od samog djetinjstva omogućiti mu optimalne uvijete za rast i razvoj kako uz obitelj tako i u predškolskoj ustanovi – dječjem vrtiću. U današnje vrijeme susrećemo se sa sve većim brojem pretile i pothranjene djece, stoga je važno da se upozna s obilježjima pravilne prehrane. Ukoliko dođe do pretilosti ili pothranjenosti važno je na vrijeme prepoznati simptome i reagirati. Završni rad razmatra i pravilnu prehranu od sastojaka zdrave hrane koji su bitni za razvoj i rast djece. Najčešćin razlozi pokazatelja stanja uhranjenosti kod predškolske djece su: nedostatak pravilne prehrane – zdrave hrane, nedostatak tjelesne aktivnosti te utjecaj medija i tehnologije. Sudionici istraživanja bila su predškolska djeca iz tri različite grupe u vrtiću u Zagrebu, 30 sudionika oba spola (16 djevojčica i 14 dječaka). Za procjenu stanja uhranjenosti izmjereni su: visina tijela, tjelesna masa, opseg struka te opseg bokova. Rezultati mjerenja pokazali su da je kod dječaka indeks tjelesne mase ponešto drugačiji nego kod djevojčica. Može se zaključiti da je djeci potrebno više tjelesne aktivnosti kako bi rezultati u konačnici bili bolji.In this article, I will try to explain the situation of healt care.
