Proportion of obesity has been increasing in children of Taiwan, and childhood obesity is easy to enhance the proportion of adulthood obesity. The underlying disease influenced by obesity should not be underestimated. Eating habits and content directly affect obesity. In addition, the previous study shows that proportion of obese children in city less than remote areas, this is an unexpected result.
Therefore, this study will investigate several recipes of kindergartens in Pingtung County and compare mountain kindergarten to plain kindergarten. We collect the snack menus and statistic, and then contract to child's BMI value in order to understand that whether the content of snack menu affect the rate of child obesity.
This study investigated a total of 12 kindergartens, half of mountains and half of plains. It was found that mountain kindergarten provide excessive-calorie breakfasts more often than plains. Although cross-comparison and chi-square test analysis show no significant difference, but when analyzed by t-test, significant differences exist. In terms of snack in the afternoon, there is no significant difference between mountains and plains.
Moreover, overweight children (overweight + obese children) of mountain kindergarten increased from 18.7% to 32.9%, much higher than increase of overweight children in the plain. Therefore, we conclude that the mountain kindergarten provide breakfast with too many calories, it may be one of the reasons to cause obese children.
