Özet:

 ABSTRACT Aims: This descriptive comparative study was conducted to compare the body mass indexes, dietary habits, and physical activity attitudes of refugee adolescents and Turkish adolescents studying at a secondary school. Materials and Methods: A total of 345 students participated in the study. Data were collected using the Questionnaire Form, the Family Welfare Scale, the Physical Activity Attitude Scale, and the Index for the Evaluation of Dietary Habits in Adolescent Students. Descriptive statistics mean, standard deviation, number, and percentage, the Chi-square test, the independent groups t test, the multiple regression analysis, and the ANCOVA analysis were performed to analyze the data. Results: A statistically significant difference was found between the mean Index for the Evaluation of Dietary Habits score of refugee adolescents and Turkish adolescents. It was revealed that there was a statistically significant relationship between the BMI levels of the refugee students and their age, number of siblings and the working status of the mother. In addition, it was found that when the effect of family welfare level was controlled, being a refugee or being Turkish had a significant effect on the Index for the Evaluation of Dietary Habits score. Conclusion: It is important to develop healthy dietary habits in adolescents. Keywords: Adolescent health, Exercise, Nutrition, Refugee, School health.

 ÖZ Amaç: Bu tanımlayıcı karşılaştırmalı çalışma, bir ortaokulda öğrenim gören mülteci adölesanlar ile Türk adölesanların vücut kitle indekslerini, beslenme alışkanlıklarını ve fiziksel aktivite tutumlarını karşılaştırmak amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmaya toplam 345 öğrenci katılmıştır. Veriler Anket Formu, Aile Refahı Ölçeği, Fiziksel Aktivite Tutum Ölçeği ve Adölesan Öğrencilerde Beslenme Alışkanlıklarını Değerlendirme İndeksi kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler ortalama, standart sapma, sayı ve yüzde, Ki-kare testi, bağımsız gruplar t testi, çoklu regresyon analizi ve ANCOVA analizi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Mülteci adölesanlar ile Türk adölesanların Beslenme Alışkanlıklarını Değerlendirme İndeksi puan ortalamaları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmuştur. Mülteci adölesanların BKİ düzeyleri ile yaş, kardeş sayısı ve annenin çalışma durumu arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Ayrıca aile refah düzeyinin etkisi kontrol edildiğinde mülteci veya Türk olmanın Beslenme Alışkanlıklarını Değerlendirme İndeksi puanı üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Adölesanlarda sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıklarının geliştirilmesi önemlidir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Adölesan sağlığı, Egzersiz, Beslenme, Mülteci, Okul sağlığı.
