| Abstract | Voda čini veći dio ukupne tjelesne mase tijela i neophodna je za život i zdravlje, osobito
za pravilno funkcioniranje fizioloških procesa. Ključno je napomenuti da unos tekućine ne mora
biti samo nužno voda, to mogu biti razne vrste napitaka i hrane koja je bogata vodom.
Mnoga istraživanja provedena na djeci i adolescentima pokazala su da su ona podložnija
dehidraciji nego odrasle osobe. Baš iz tog razloga, cilj ovoga istraživanja je bio ispitati
informiranost te navike adolescenata o hidrataciji. Upitnik je obuhvaćao opće demografske
podatke (spol, dob, stupanj obrazovanja) ispitanika, njihovo znanje o hidrataciji, te pitanja vezana
za informiranost. Osim toga, upitnik je ispitivao sudjelovanje ispitanika u tjelesnoj aktivnosti kao
i njihovu konzumaciju raznih vrsta pića, voća i povrća.
U istraživanju je sudjelovalo 207 osoba od kojih je 153 ženskog spola, 54 muškog spola.
Uočene su statistički značajne razlike u navikama ispitanika i učestalosti konzumacije različitih
pića na temelju spola. Statistički značajna razlika uočena kod sigurnosti u konzumiranje dovoljne
količine vode, pri čemu su se muškarci pokazali statistički značajno sigurniji od žena (p=0,0235).
Pokazalo se ja da žene konzumiraju veće količine tekućine, osim u slučajevima kada im nije
omogućen pristup toaletu (3,70%, p=0,0008). Kod učestalosti konzumacije piva uočena je
statistički značajna razlika (p=0,0323), odnosno pokazalo se je da muškarci češće konzumiraju
pivo od žena.
Povezanost između unosa vode, bioloških procesa i općeg zdravlja naglašava potrebu za
odgovarajućom hidratacijom. Ovo istraživanje daje uvid u razumijevanje hidratacijskih navika i
ponašanja adolescenata. |
| Abstract (english) | Water makes up a large part of the body's total body mass and is necessary for life and
health, especially for the proper functioning of physiological processes. It is important to note that
fluid intake does not necessarily have to be water, it can be various types of drinks and foods that
are rich in water.
Many studies conducted on children and adolescents have shown that they are more
susceptible to dehydration than adults. For this very reason, the goal of this research was to
examine the information and habits of adolescents about hydration through a survey. The survey
included general demographic data (gender, age, level of education), questions related to
information. In addition, the survey examined respondents' participation in physical activity as
well as their consumption of various types of beverages, fruits and vegetables.
207 people participated in the survey, of which 153 were female and 54 were male.
Statistically significant differences were observed in the subjects' habits and frequency of
consumption of different drinks based on gender. A statistically significant difference was
observed in the confidence in consuming an adequate amount of water, with men showing
significantly higher confidence than women (p=0.0235). It was also found that women consume
larger amounts of fluids, except in cases where access to a toilet is not available (3.70%, p=0.0008).
There was a statistically significant difference in the frequency of beer consumption (p=0.0323),
with men consuming beer more frequently than women.
The connection between water consumption, biological processes and general health
highlights the need for adequate hydration. This research provides insight into the understanding
of hydration habits and behavior of adolescents. |
