Nutritional Assessment of Kindergartens’ Menus in Terms of Quantity: A Sample of Seven Regions in Türkiye

Öz:
Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the menus of kindergartens in terms of quantity. Material and Method: A total of 147 autumn menus containing breakfast-lunch or breakfast-lunch-afternoon were evaluated from kindergartens serving in seven geographic regions in Türkiye. Results: In general, the amount of energy (95.7%), carbohydrate (98.9%) and micronutrients provided by menus was found sufficient, while the amount of calcium was found low (56.6%) and the amount of protein was high (217.4%) than recommendations. It was observed that the sodium (62.0%) and added sugar (8.2%) contents of the menus did not exceed the recommended amounts. In the comparison of the menus between regions, significant differences were observed in some regions in terms of some macro and micronutrients, which could be associated with cultural differences. It was determined that the protein (g) and fat (g) contents of the Mediterranean region menus were lower than the other regions (p<0.008). In the menus of Aegean, Marmara and Black Sea regions, carbohydrate (g) content was found to be higher than other regions (p<0.008). The vitamin C content of the Marmara region’s menus was also higher than the East-Southeast and Central Anatolia regions (p<0.008). The calcium content of the Black Sea region’s menus was higher than the East-Southeast, Central Anatolia, Mediterranean and Marmara regions (p<0.008). It was found that the iron content of the Aegean region’s menus was higher than the East-Southeast, Central Anatolia, Mediterranean and Marmara regions (p<0.008). Conclusion: Nutrition of children in this period, is effected especially with the effect of kindergartens. For this reason, it is thought that disseminating the National Menu Planning and Implementation Guide for Mass Nutrition Systems (Mass Consumption Places) prepared in accordance with the culture of the society and following the application with such studies will contribute to the solution of a big problem throughout the country.

Anaokulu Menülerinin Miktar Yönünden Değerlendirmesi: Türkiye’de Yedi Bölge Örneği

Öz:
Amaç: Bu çalışma anaokulu menülerinin miktar yönünden değerlendirilmesi amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Türkiye’de yedi coğrafi bölgede hizmet veren anaokullarından kahvaltı-öğle veya kahvaltı-öğle-ikindi olmak üzere toplam 147 sonbahar menüsü değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Genel olarak menülerin sağladığı enerji (%95.7), karbonhidrat (%98.9) ve mikro besin ögesi miktarları önerilere göre yeterli bulunurken, kalsiyum miktarı (%56.6) düşük, protein miktarı (%217.4) yüksek bulunmuştur. Menülerin sodyum (%62.0) ve ilave/eklenmiş şeker (%8.2) içeriklerinin önerilen miktarları aşmadığı görülmüştür. Menülerin bölgeler arasında karşılaştırılmasında, bazı bölgelerde kültürel farklılıklarla ilişkilendirilebilecek, makro ve mikro besin ögeleri açısından önemli farklılıklar gözlenmiştir. Akdeniz bölgesi menülerinin protein (g) ve yağ (g) içeriğinin diğer bölgelerden daha düşük olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.008). Ege, Marmara ve Karadeniz bölgelerinin menülerinde ise karbonhidrat (g) içeriği diğer bölgelerden daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0.008). Marmara bölgesi menülerinin C vitamini içeriği de Doğu-Güneydoğu ve İç Anadolu bölgelerinden daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p<0.008). Karadeniz bölgesinin menülerin kalsiyum içeriği ise Doğu-Güneydoğu, İç Anadolu, Akdeniz ve Marmara bölgelerinden daha yüksek çıkmıştır (p<0.008). Ege bölgesinin menülerine bakıldığında da demir içeriğinin Doğu-Güneydoğu, İç Anadolu, Akdeniz ve Marmara bölgelerinden daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0.008). Sonuç: Çocukların beslenmesi, bu dönemde özellikle anaokullarının etkisiyle önem taşır. Bu nedenle toplumun kültürüne uygun olarak hazırlanan Toplu Beslenme Sistemleri (Toplu Tüketim Yerleri) için Ulusal Menü Planlama ve Uygulama Rehberi’nin yaygınlaştırılmasının ve bu tarz çalışmalarla uygulamanın takip edilmesinin ülke genelinde büyük bir sorunun çözümüne katkı sağlayacağı düşünülmektedir.
