Abstract |
Introduction |
This study determined whether there is a difference in the nutritional status of children with good and poor appetites, as reported by their mothers.
Methods |
In all, 70 volunteer mothers of children aged 6–60 months participated in the study. Information about the nutrition of the child was obtained from the mothers via a questionnaire.
Results |
Based on the mothers’ statements, no significant difference was found in the mean or median values of the anthropometric measurements between children with good and poor appetites (p>.05), and no significant difference was observed between daily consumed energy and macro- and micronutrients (p>.05). While the blood zinc levels of children with a good appetite were higher than those with a poor appetite (p<.05), there was no difference regarding other parameters (p>.05).
Conclusion |
In this study, no significant difference was evident between children defined as having good or poor appetite by their mothers, especially in terms of energy and nutrients.
