Effects of 5210 Nutrition Management Program in Weight Management of Adolescents

Aim: The purpose of the study is to examine the impact of 5210 weight management program executed to students (11-12 year olds are overweight and obese students) on attitudes and behaviors towards BMI, waist circumference on the nutritional habits. The research was conducted in semi-experimental semi-empirical model. Material and Methods: Sample of research is compose of 65 teenagers of which 34 control group (16 obese and 18 overweight) and 31 controlgroup (14 obeseand 17 overweight) in 2 separate schools in the same district of Istanbul. Experimental/Control groups had been formed by choosing the obese and overweight students in the both schools. The data of research had been collected via Anthropometric Measurement Form, Survey on Student Healthy Life, Family Information Form, Scale of Attitudetowards Nutritionand Fitness (BET？), and Scale of Behavior of Nutritionand Fitness (BED？). Data was measured three times of which before execution of program and 6 and 9 months after execution of education. Results: Inspite of it is determined that there is significant difference in the BK？ distributions and BK？ averages of first measurement, second measurement and third measurement in experimental and control groups (p>0,05), the change in the BK？ averages is statistically significant in from 2 nd measurement of BK？ averages compared with initial measurement in experimental groups to 3rd measurement (p<0,05). There are increases in the number of adolescents who have normal BK？ valuefrom 2nd measureto 3rd measure. The change in BK？ averages from 9th month measure to initial measure in experimental group is not statistically different with the one measured in control group (p>0,05). Control group keepgo on get weight while experimental group was growing up normally and get lower weight compared with control group. Averages of BET？ scale are calculated as 47,77 ± 6,25 at the initiation of program 47,16 ± 7,98 at the second measure and 48,52 ± 7,48 at the third measure. 5210 weight management is not effective on both BETO averages, BEDO averages and their subscales. A training program of 12 hours totaling 2 to 6 weeks a week, including. Conclusion: 5210 messages for the 10-12 age group, was developed. Educational visual materials and presentations were created and an educational content booklet containing course content plans, goals and objectives of the sessions was created. These programs and materials can be used in a wider sample. Furterstudyis neededto 5210 program will be effective via multiple additives and long erterm durations
