Description

We conducted a 3-day nutritional survey in the fourth week of February, 1984 among 4th and 5th graders of elementary schools in Morioka; 130 control subjects (obesity ratio of ±10%) and 131 obese subjects (obesity ratio of >30%). We examined dietary intake (caloric and nutrient intake) and conducted a questionnaire survey on dietary habits and body weight changes of obese children.<BR>1) There was no significant difference in the intake level of nutrients among boys of the two groups, but girls of the obese group showed less energy and nutrient intake.<BR>2) Intake of rice was significantly larger in obese boys, while that of all food groups was less in obese girls.<BR>3) The survey on dietary habits revealed a low frequency of snack intake among boys and girls of the obese group, with a significant difference for girls. Frequency of being told to eat more was evidently lower among obese children, whereas frequency of being cautioned against eating so much was remarkably high for these children.<BR>Within two months from the time of survey, the obesity ratio decreased by 2.9%(from 46.1% to 43.2%) for obese boys and 4.5%(from 40.1% to 35.6%) for obese girls. The result suggests a strong possibility that the quantity of foods consumed by obese children is definitely greater than that reported by themselves.
