Resumo
Introduction: Poor dietary habits and physical activities have been reported in adolescents globally but needs to be explored in sickle cell disease (SCD). Methods: This cross-sectional study of dietary habits and physical activities of adolescent SCD patients was undertaken using a semi-structured interviewer administered questionnaire.Results: The mean age of the 122 respondents was 15.7±2.3years, of which 51 (41.8%) were males and 77(63%) were from monogamous homes. Overall, 58% of the adolescents had poor dietary habit and 52(42.6%) took breakfast daily while 83 (68%) took carbonated drink in the seven days preceding the survey. There was no association between the monogamous, polygamous or single parenthood and dietary habits (÷2 (2.67), P=0.26).However, participants who lived with their parents were more likely to have better dietary habits (÷2 (4.6), P=0.03). Participants who ate breakfast or vegetables were less likely to take carbonated drinks (÷2 (6.8), P=0.009; ÷2 (4.64), P=0.03 respectively). About half (52%) engage more in physical activities, eighty-six (70%) spent less than 3hours watching TV daily while eighty-seven (71%) spent 1 day at most playing video game in a week. Those in the monogamous setting were more like to be physically active (6.5), P=0.038). Participants who exercise less watched TV more (÷2 (15.9), P<0.001) while those who watch TV played less of video games (÷2 (14.5), P<0.001).Both parent’s occupation and mothers’ education influenced child’s dietary habits (P<0.05). Conclusion: Dietary habits and physical activities of adolescent SCD patients are influenced by their family background
