CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTIONS

Nutrition is all about food and how the body uses it especially as a fuel for daily

activities. Nutrition, as described by the council of the !erican "edical ssociation #Car!ela

et$al %&&', is the study of nutrients and the substance therein, their action, interaction, and

balance in relation to the health and disease, and the process by which the or(anis!s in(ests,

absorbs, transports, utili)es, and e*cretes food substance. Nutrition is based upon ancient dietary

principle and !odern research on the effect of the environ!ent, socio+econo!ic, and spiritual

influence on the food we eat, the water we drin, and the air we breathe.

-reedo! fro! hun(er and !alnutrition is a basic ri(ht and their alleviation is a

funda!ental prereuisite for hu!an develop!ent. It is widely accepted that the hi(hest level of

efficiency in hu!an develop!ent is inti!ately associated with (ood health. /ood health can be

attained fro! (ood nutrition and (ood nutrition result fro! lifelon( habits of (ood diet. #0illia!

and Tun(palan, 12314. Thus, food a pro!inent role in the physical, !ental, and social well+bein(

of a person which is otherwise nown as the health to the people.

5ealth is reflected in a person6s nutritional status. Nutritional status is the condition of the

individual as influenced by the utili)ation of nutrients. #7e(u!, %&&14.

8eople eat #foods4 to survive. These foods contain the essential nutrients essential for

(rowth and develop!ent, and for the !aintenance of life. The ind and a!ount of foods taen in

by an individual and how the body utili)es the nutrients therein reflects the nutritional status.

8eople choose their choices they !ae each day could benefit or i!pair their health in proportion

to the wisdo! of those choices. In the 8hilippines in (eneral, food choices is detected by$

different reasons such as food preference, culture, food availability, food bud(et, nowled(e

about proper diet a!on( others. The choice of foods eaten in the lon( run !ay result to (ood

health, to bein( underwei(ht or overwei(ht, or !ay lead to the develop!ent of diseases such as

atherosclerosis, hypertension, osteoporosis, etc.

t Sa(ana 9le!entary School, where the study was conducted, the pupils have their own

way of choosin( foods that they eat. They also vary on their !eal patterns as a part of the daily

life. -ood stores are scattered around the school sellin( various food ite!s ran(in( fro! the

traditional -ilipino viands to the so called :street foods;. Observin( what the students are eatin(,

street foods !ore liely are the choice by the !a

It is widely accepted that the hi(hest level of efficiency in hu!an develop!ent inti!ately

is associated with (ood health. s 5ippocrates #www.ccnh.edu.%&&A4 states, :?et your food be

your !edicine and your !edicine your food66. Therefore, the achieve!ent of opti!u! health

status of a person depends on the foods he=she in(est. 5ence, a person in (ood nutrition,

functions as better a productive citi)en which in turn contribute to a national develop!ent.

assess!ent techniues to detect !alnutrition can tell when his condition is caused by

poor nutrition and can tae steps to correct it.The pri!ary cause of !alnutrition is the ineuitable distribution of food which is

related of course to poverty. The typical -ilipino diet is (lossy inadeuate for ener(y and

nutrients, causin( hu!an bodies to co!pensate for inadeuate ener(y intae by utili)in(

protein as an ener(y source$ the usual result is 8rotein 9ner(y "alnutrition #89"4. This

situation is unliely to i!prove as lon( as an esti!ated %3 !illion -ilipinos are unable to

reasons !aybe, food choices influence health. Individual food selections neither !ae

In another view, "urray stated that Nutritional deter!ined by !any factors. This

includes a(e, physical condition, habits, e!otional responses, !ental condition, and

socio+econo!ic and reli(ious bac(round. She pointed out that an individual6s food lie

and dislies and his acceptance or refusals of foods are often reflections of his feelin(s

about hi!self. They also indicate his attitude toward his illness, his fa!ily, and his

environ!ent. Cri!, 12'2, that, in order to !aintain adeuate nutrition, his food habits !ust, often

culture, reli(ion, socio econo!ic bac(round, and e!otional factors, are particularly hard

to alter.

nutritional status should be done as part of a routine health chec+up. She said that

prescribed diet pro(ra! #child+only4 and one (roup in which the parents participated in

educational sessions #parent+only4. Children of the parents in the parent+only (roup had (reater

wei(ht loss than the child+only (roup.

fter e*tensively reviewin( the literature in the area, Clar et al. #%&&A4 identified several

factors that influence children and their food preferences=diets parents, friends, school, and the

!edia. 7ased on their findin(s, the authors deter!ined the !ost influential factor on children6s

early eatin( habits was parental influence. Several of the studies reviewed by Clar et al.

observed parental restriction of


12/42

parents with hi(h scores on the control !easure were found to have hi(her consu!ption of both

healthy and unhealthy snac foods.

@lese(es, Stein, 9c, Isbell, and @lese(es #12214 found evidence that showed parents

played an i!portant role in their child6s food preferences. @lese(es et al. found children selected

different foods when they were bein( watched by their parents co!pared to when they were not.

Oliveria et al. #122%4 analy)ed both the !others6 and their preschool a(e children6s food intae

of nutrients, and they su((ested tar(etin( parents to try to i!prove their children6s diets.

5ood et al. #%&&&4 looed at 2% three to five year old children and their parents enrolled

in the 123A -ra!in(ha! Children6s Study. The results of this study indicated how parents6

dietary habits and physical activity patterns affect their children. t the be(innin( of the study,

parents were ased to co!plete a uestionnaire includin( !easures of three factors dietary

restraint, dietary disinhibition, and perceived hun(er. t the end of si* years, the researchers

deter!ined that the children6s body fat was positively related to parent dietary restraint if the

parent also had hi(h levels of dietary disinhibition. The researchers concluded that parents with

disinhibited eatin( patterns alon( with dietary restraint !ay have children with a hi(her ris for

obesity. ccordin( to 5ood et al., parental !odelin( and discoura(e!ent of bad eatin( habits can

help chan(e this outco!e. 8ro(ra!s today vary but !ost still use a (reat deal of parental

of ti!e but affected throu(h a lon( period of education at ho!e, school, and in society since

weanin( and by various factors such as culture, reli(ion, education level, fa!ily !e!bers, and

socioecono!ic level. lso, because once+established dietary habits decide dietary habits in

adulthood and are difficult to chan(e, nutritional (uidance in childhood for the establish!ent of

proper dietary habit is very i!portant #Chun( et al., %&&E4.

?ee et al. #122'4 reported that proper dietary (uidance for children, and the establish!ent

of desirable dietary habits, are essential not only for healthy physical status in adulthood but also

for the !aintenance of a healthy !ental status.

Nutrition education is clearly reuired for the establish!ent of desirable dietary lifestyles

in school a(e children, and the purpose of nutrition education is not to convey si!ple nutrition

nowled(e but to actually apply nutrition nowled(e to everyday life to !aintain !ore

reasonable dietary lifestyle #?ee et al., 12234. Contento #122&4 reported that increased nowled(e

and behavioral chan(es in (eneral were not !atched and, on the contrary, no behavioral chan(e

for choosin( healthy !eals was observed, su((estin( that nutrition education should focus on

behavioral chan(es, not on nowled(e increase. Only the supply of nowled(e is not sufficient to

chan(e !ulti+di!ensional behaviors such as dietary behavior. 9le!entary school children are

sensitive by nature and thus this period is effective for educatin( basic nowled(e includin(

with or(ani)ed educational contents. Dietary habits are !ore difficult to chan(e as the a(e of

children increases and thus it is i!portant to provide nutrition education to eat various foods with

balance and with !oderate a!ounts by correctin( one+sided dietary habits in the school a(e

children #?ee H 8an(, 122'4.

Since nutritional proble!s are directly and indirectly related to dietary environ!ent

factors and the behavior of an individual is decided by oneJs values, attitudes, and nowled(e,

nutritional proble!s can be funda!entally solved after investi(atin( and analy)in( actual

conditions for such factors #"oon H @i!, 122%4.

"any precedin( studies have been perfor!ed for dietary lifestyle of ele!entary students

so far, but few studies were perfor!ed on the relationship a!on( nutrition nowled(e, nutrition

attitude, and dietary behavior. In addition, it is considered that basic research, in which several

variables involved in the dietary lifestyle of children includin( eatin( environ!ent are e*a!ined

in various aspects of socioecono!ic chan(es, is needed for nutritional (uidance for the

establish!ent of proper dietary habits, and the invest!ent should be !ade for a reasonable
