Frequency And Quality Assesment of Nourishment of School-age Children - year 4, ZŠ 28. října Česká Lípa primary school
HONZEJKOVÁ, Kateřina
School children nutrition is increasingly the topic of various debates, both in terms of the correct and healthy development of the child, as well as in the prevention of civilization diseases in the later age. My thesis on the topic of "Frequency And Quality Assesment of Nourishment of School-age Children - year 4, ZŠ 28. října Česká Lípa primary school" is divided into two separate parts - the theoretical and research part. The above mentioned theoretical part deals with the essentials of children nutrition of the given age. Emphasis is placed on the individual macro-nutrients, their sources, and recommended doses for children of the given age. Equally important macronutrients, fluids, and fiber are also mentioned alongside with sources and recommended doses. A separate chapter that I chose to include is alternative alimentation that is becoming popular in today's modern society. This is due to better public access to information sources about these diets, as well as, among other things, the growing range of alternative foods such as vegetarian and vegan foods as well as raw products. The research part was conducted both in the form of a quantitative questionnaire and in the form of a qualitative record of the diet kept by a selected group of children. The research group comprised of 83 children in the range of 9 -11years of age attending the above mentioned selected elementary school. The main objective of the thesis was to quantitatively map the frequency of meals for the entire research group of respondents. Additionally, eight selected individuals from the group also underwent a qualitative research focusing on the quality of the diet with an emphasis on macronutrients and salt.
