Overnutrition and the level of school anxiety in students

Summary:

Abstract. Objective: to study the relationship of overnutrition with the level of school anxiety of schoolchildren. Material and methods. The observation group — 46 schoolchildren with body mass index (BMI) above +1 SD, the comparison group — 138 schoolchildren with BMI below +1 SD. A comparative analysis of the content of cortisol and serotonin of blood serum, heart rate variability and the test parameters School Anxiety Scale of Phillips ware carried out. Results. In children of the observation group regarding the comparison group, the level of cortisol was 1.2 times higher, a high activity of the sympathetic department of autonomic regulation (p<0.001) was established, the level of general anxiety at school is 1.3-2.5 times higher, fear of testing knowledge of knowledge — 1.5-2.1 times and the level of school anxiety — up to 2.3 times (p<0.001-0,043). Direct relationship of moderate force between the BMI and cortisol, causal dependencies of the influence of BMI on the likelihood of increasing the fear of the situation of knowledge testing and general anxiety were obtained. A good prognostic ability was established for the BMI in relation to the identification of general anxiety, the average — regarding the fear of the situation of knowledge testing, the value of the cut point for SD BMI in relation to school anxiety was 1.6 SD. Conclusion. Overnutrition is associated with an increase in school anxiety. The problem of overnutrition requires additional involvement of specialists of the psychological and pedagogical service.
