Obesity among adolescent students in private and public schools investigation of awareness: a cross-sectional study
Abstract
Aims: The aim of this study was to examine the obesity awareness of adolescent students in private and public schools.
Methods: The research is a quantitative study. The research group for the study consisted of 1393 private and public school students between the ages of 10 and 13 in Kırıkkale province. The first stage included a personal information form including questions about gender, age, BMI, socio-economic status, physical activity for half an hour or more per week, and daily food distribution. In the second stage, the Obesity Awareness Scale developed by Allen (2011) and adapted into Turkish by Kafkas and Özen (2014) was used. The scale consists of 3 sub-dimensions and 20 questions.
Results: It was observed that there was a significant difference in the anthropometric characteristics, obesity awareness, nutrition and physical activity, BMI, daily food distribution, and socio-economic status groupings of private and public school children. It was seen that there was a significant difference in all other variables and sub-dimensions except body weight, BMI, and obesity total between girls and boys; there was a significant difference in all other variables except anthropometric characteristics of girls in private and public schools; and there was a significant difference in all other variables except the age variable of boys in private and public schools.
Conclusion: The anthropometric characteristics, obesity awareness, nutrition and physical activity, BMI, daily food distribution, and socio-economic status of female and male students in private and public schools were significantly different from each other. In private school students, the highest correlation was found between obesity total and socio-economic status, while the lowest correlation was found between obesity total and the physical activity dimension. In public school students, the highest correlation was found between the obesity dimension and BMI, and the lowest correlation was found between the physical activity dimension and socio-economic status.

Özel okullar ve devlet okullarındaki adölesan dönemi öğrencilerinin obezite farkındalıklarının incelenmesi; kesitsel bir çalışma
Abstract
Aims: Bu çalışmanın amacı, özel okullar ve devlet okullarındaki adolesan dönemi öğrencilerinin obezite farkındalıklarının incelenmesidir.
Methods: Araştırma nicel bir çalışmadır. Çalışmanın araştırma grubunu 10-13 yaş aralığında Kırıkkale ilinde eğitim gören 1393 özel ve devlet okulu öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. İlk aşama, cinsiyet, yaş, BMİ, sosyo-ekonomik durum, haftada yarım saat ve daha fazla fiziksel aktivite yapma, günlük yemek dağılımları ile ilgili soruları içeren kişisel bilgi formunu kapsamaktadır. İkinci aşamada, Allen (2011) tarafından geliştirilmiş ve Türkçe'ye Kafkas ve Özen (2014) tarafından uyarlanmış olan Obezite Farkındalığı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Ölçek 3 alt boyuttan ve 20 sorudan oluşmaktadır.
Results: Özel ve devlet okulundaki çocukların antropometrik özellikleri, obezite farkındalığı, beslenme ve fiziksel aktivite, BMI, günlük yemek dağılımları, sosyo-ekonomik durum gruplamalarının alt boyutlarında anlamlı bir farkın olduğu görülmüştür. Kız ve erkek öğrenciler arasında vücut ağırlığı, BMI ve obezite toplamı haricinde diğer değişkenler ve alt boyutların hepsinde anlamlı farkın olduğu, özel ve devlet okulundaki kızların antropometrik özellikler hariç diğer değişkenlerin hepsinde anlamlı fark olduğunu, özel ve devlet okulundaki erkek öğrencilerin yaş değişkeni dışında diğer değişkenlerin hepsinde anlamlı farkın olduğu görülmüştür.
Conclusion: Özel ve devlet okulundaki kız öğrencilerin kendi aralarında, erkek öğrencilerin kendi aralarında, kız ve erkek öğrenciler arasında antropometrik özellikleri, obezite farkındalığı, beslenme ve fiziksel aktivite BMI, günlük yemek dağılımları, sosyo-ekonomik durum açısından birbirlerinden anlamlı farklı olduğu belirlenmiştir. Özel okul öğrencilerinin obezite toplam ile sosyo-ekonomik durum arasında en yüksek korelasyonun olduğu, obezite toplam ile fiziksel aktivite boyutu arasında en düşük korelasyonun olduğu görülmüştür. Devlet okulu öğrencilerinin obezite boyutu ile BMI arasında en yüksek korelasyon olduğu, fiziksel aktivite boyutu ile sosyo-ekonomik durum arasında düşük korelasyon olduğu görülmüştür.
