RELAȚIA VENITUL FAMILIEI - ALIMENTAȚIE LA UN LOT DE PREȘCOLARI DIN ORAȘUL NEGREȘTI JUDEȚUL VASLUI
Abstract
Growth and development are influenced by
genetic and environmental factors. From the environmental factors, nutrition plays a key role
and is income dependent. Objectives: Assessing food intake according to family financial
status. Material and method: A study was conducted on 134 preschool children (ages from
3 to 7 years of age) from a Negreºti kindergarten. Questionnaires were filled by parents for
weekly food intake and family financial situation. Statistical analysis used Pearson test.
Results: According to income the group is structured in: very low income (32.8%), low
income (28.3%), average income (26.8%) and above average income (12.1%). The majority of
the families provides milk to their children (58.9%), varying from 54.5% (very low income) to
63.1% (low income). Poultry is present in the diet mainly for 2-3 times per week (45.5%)
going from 36.8% in low income families to 55.5% in average income families. Daily fruit
intake is present in 59.7% of families, varying from 45.4% (very low income) to 68.7% (above
average income). Recorded differences have no statistic significance. Conclusion: Families
income is different but the nutrition provided to children is similar, being strongly influenced by
traditional nutritional habits.
