Nutritional status is a measurement of how
well the nutrients in your diet are and does it meets the physiologic needs of
your body. Health care professionals like registered dietitians, nurses and
physicians are trained to review and assess many different parameters to assess
a person's nutritional status. They do this through the use of medical tests
and other tools that provide dietary information.A research from scientific research publishing mainly
studies the differences between Family dietary
and school dietary,and their affects on Nutritional Status.
To assess the relationship between food
consumption at home, nutritional status, gender preference and the
preference-selection of natural products (fruits and vegetables) and
industrialized (candies and chips) in a situation of free access for a
population of Mexican schoolchildren. 115 children participated in the test, 59
boys and 56 girls from second, fourth and sixth grade of elementary school. We
have taken measures of weight, size and the 24-hour consumption record during
over five days, at which time also we evaluated the preference and selection of
a group of ten products (naturals and industrialized). According to the results
60% of children had normal weight, 23.47% overweight, 14.8% risk of overweight
an 1.73% underweight. There were no significant differences with X2 test between
nutritional status and gender. Multivariate analysis was applied between
gender, consumption by food groups and nutritional status, the interaction was
significant in all cases. The Pearson correlation between preference and food
choice in the situation of open access is high in the school students at risk
of overweight. The preferred and selected products for consumption are those
with the highest content of saturated fat, sugars and salt, the less preferred
and selected products were fruits and vegetables. We could conclude that the
population is at risk for their low consumption of fruits and vegetables;
situation that is reflection of the home consumption this document.
