Sınav stresi olan lise son sınıf öğrencilerinin kahve tüketimi ve beslenme durumunun değerlendirilmesi

Objective; In this study, high school caffeine intake increased with exam stress; mean caffeine intake, caffeine source, nutritional status and body mass index (BMI) were evaluated. Methods: The study was carried out on 109 high school students attending an Anatolian High School in Antalya. In order to determine the nutritional status of the students, to evaluate daily caffeine intake and water consumption, a questionnaire questioning food consumption was applied for 24 hours. Results; The mean BMI of female students was 22.48 ± 3.78 kg / m2 and 23.33 ± 4.04 kg / m2 for male students. Most of the caffeine was obtained from coffee and then from tea. The average daily caffeine intake of female students consuming coffee was found to be 154 ± 165.29 mg and male students receiving 201.35 ± 221.84 mg of caffeine. The average daily water consumption of the students was 1487.6 ± 902.2 ml. energy, pulp, vitamin E, folate and calcium are less than the recommended amount; protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron and zinc. According to BMI, very weak female students had higher caffeine consumption and was statistically significant. The mean daily caffeine consumption of the male students was higher than the other groups, but there was no statistically significant. Conclusion; It is important for high school senior students who have test stress to gain a good nutrition habit, and a diet application that includes energy and nutrients at a sufficient level is important for both their physical development and school success. Further studies are needed to determine the effect of caffeine consumption and caffeine intake on BMI of students.
