INTRODUCTION
This study aims to describe the association between dietary habits and weight status and the interest in food and science.
METHODS
We examined in a cross-sectional study 525 children aged between 8 and 18 years, who attended the Brussels Food Fair or the Belgian Science Day in 2013. They were divided into three groups: special interest in science, special interest in food, and a general control group. They completed a questionnaire, and body parameters were measured. The weight status of the children was identified using the growth charts and the calculated BMI.
RESULTS
In total, 525 children were included: 290 children in the reference group, 194 in the food group, and 41 in the science group. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 28% in the general control group, 14% in the food group, and 15% in the science group. Breakfast and dinner were skipped more often by children with overweight or obesity. Children from the food and science groups had more sweets and meat, had less fruit, and skipped less meals.
CONCLUSION
In our study, 28% of the reference group had overweight or obesity. The children with special interest in food or science differed from the control group.
引言
本研究旨在描述饮食习惯与体重状况之间的关联以及对食物和科学的兴趣。
方法
在一项横断面研究中，我们调查了2013年参加布鲁塞尔食品展或比利时科学日活动的525名8至18岁儿童。他们被分为三组：对科学有特殊兴趣组、对食物有特殊兴趣组和一个一般对照组。他们完成了一份问卷，并测量了身体参数。使用生长图表和计算得出的BMI来确定儿童的体重状况。
结果
总共纳入了525名儿童：参考组290名儿童，食物组194名，科学组41名。一般对照组中超重和肥胖的患病率为28%，食物组为14%，科学组为15%。超重或肥胖的儿童更经常不吃早餐和晚餐。来自食物组和科学组的儿童吃更多的糖果和肉类，吃更少的水果，并且更少不吃正餐。
结论
在我们的研究中，参考组中有28%的儿童超重或肥胖。对食物或科学有特殊兴趣的儿童与对照组不同。
