Background. Anthropometric parameters provide a lot of information about body composition and nutritional status, regardless whether they relate to obesity or malnutrition. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between nutritional status, dietary habits and body image perception among male Polish adolescents. Material and methods. The study population primarily comprised 322 male adolescents aged 17-18 years from Western Poland, with thirty respondents however, dropping out of the study during its course. Anthropometric appraisal included body height and weight, four skinfolds thickness, circumferences of the waist, hip and arm. The percentage of fat mass and arm muscle area was calculated. The self-administrated questionnaires were used to estimate the frequency and quality of food intake, as well as the perception of body image of the studied subjects. In order to identify the similarity of nutritional habits and anthropometric parameters of adolescent males, cluster analysis was applied. Results. The mean values of body weight and height were close to 50th percentile. However, 10.7% of males were underweight, 10.7% overweight and 1.3% obese. The tendency to underestimate own level of fatness among overweight and obese subjects was observed. Over 90% of the studied subjects consider "average" silhouette as an ideal. Conclusions. Polish obese and overweight adolescents show a tendency to underestimate their level of fatness and perceive themselves as "average", despite possessing an excessive amount of body fat.
The aim of this study was to assess the nutritional status and dietary habits among female adolescents. Four hundred seventy nine subjects aged from 17 to 18 years, from secondary schools of the Great Poland Region participated in the study. Anthropometric parameter measurements included those of body height and mass, skinfold thickness and circumferences of waist, hip and arm. The measurements served to calculate the percentage of fat mass and arm muscle area. Nutritional questionnaires were used to estimate the frequency and intake of selected food products. Mean values of body height and mass were approximately in the 50th percentile. However, 13.7% of females were underweight, 7.7% were overweight and 1.2% were obese. Cluster analysis resulted in 3 clusters, of which the second one showed the most detrimental nutritional habits. This cluster was characterised by the lowest intake of dairy products, fruits and vegetables, fish, meat and also by frequent long breaks between meals (longer than 5 hours). Improper nutritional behavior is a frequent finding in female adolescents, in Poland. Nevertheless, overweight and obesity are not more common than in other countries. Studies in this area should be continued and extended.
