This study
was conducted to question the socio-economic and educational status of
preschool 4-6-years old children and their families living in Bitlis and its
counties; and also, to examine the effects of these variables on the nutrition
and physical development status of children. A total of 960 students, 479 boys
and 481 girls, aged between 4-6, who were attending preschools in Bitlis and
its counties were included in the study. There was a
significant difference (P<0.05)
between the BMI values of the children and the educational status of their
parents; however, there was a very weak correlation between these values
(mother (r=0.163), father (r=0.121. When the total daily sleep durations and
the BMIs of the children were compared, it was determined that there was a
significant difference (P<0.05)
and a relation at a moderate severity (r=0.54). It was determined that the
nutrition and physical development status of the children was related with the
socio-economic and educational levels of the parents with a weak correlation
and with a positive and very high correlation with the consumption of some food
groups.
