Study Design: This was a cross sectional study. The study was conducted in Ankara, Turkey between February and May, 2012 in primary schools. The study was conducted with 200 teachers. Participants' frequencies of food consumption, eating habits, anthropometric measurements were collected face to face by questionnaire method. Results: 76.0% of the participants were female and 24.0% were male. While more than half (56.0%) of the teachers consume three meals, the most skipped meals are morning (42.8%) and lunch (55.2%) meals. The most consumed food (38.4%) is fruit in both genders. Nutrient intake of teachers decreases when 46.5% of them are sad and when 37.5% of them are nervous, but for 65.5% of them this intake do not change in excitement (p <0.05). 23.5% of the teachers consume Original Research Article milk daily, 52.5% eat eggs 1-2 times a week, 39.0% eat green leafy vegetables, 52.5% eat fruits and 77.0% eat white bread on a daily basis. Apart from that the most consumed (91.0%) every day drink is tea. In recent years, wrong nutrition habits and the incidence of chronic diseases related with these habits have increased in the society. Considering the teachers' correct nutritional habits on students, it is thought that it is important to have nutrition lessons in undergraduate curriculum and nutrition seminars in in-service training programs in teacher-educated schools.

Obezitenin bazı hastalıklarla ilişkisi iyi bilinmesine rağmen, kanser ile bağlantısı hakkında veriler yetersizdir. Yapılan son araştırmalara göre obezitenin; özefagus, kolorektal, endometriyum, böbrek, meme, prostat, over, mide, tiroid, pankreas, karaciğer, safra kesesi ve hematolojik kanserlerle güçlü ilişkiye sahip olduğu belirtilmektedir. Kanser ve obezite arasındaki bağlantının anlaşılması, kansere karşı kullanılan stratejilerin gelişmesini sağlayacaktır. Her ne kadar obezite ve kanser ilişkisi tam olarak anlaşılamasa da, obeziteden kaçınmak kanser riskinin azaltılmasında en önemli yaklaşımlardan olabilir.

The study was designed as a cross-sectional study and conducted on 105 university female students (mean±SD, 20.3±1.9 years old). Data were collected in face-to-face interviews using questionnaire. The statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 23.0. Univariate and multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the association between participants' BDI levels and diet quality and anthropometric measurements. It was determined that 46.7% had mild and 25.7% had moderate/severe depression symptoms (mean BDI score: 13.6±7.0). Depression scores of young women were positively affected by BMI, waist circumference, waist / height ratio, fat ratio values, and negatively affected by muscle mass (p< .05). The depression scores of young women were positively affected by the NAR energy and NAR carbohydrate scores (p< .05). The iron, calcium and omega 3 NAR scores of young women affected the depression score significantly and negatively (p< .05). This study showed that diet quality was effective in keeping the body composition within the desired values, preventing depression and so enhancing the quality of life. Improving the diet quality is important for promoting the health status and life quality.

Method: A total number of 77 individuals aged 65 and over were involved in this study. The diagnosis of anemia was made according to the plasma hemoglobin levels of the patients based on WHO criteria. The data related to eating habits and socio-demographic features of the individuals and their consumption frequency of some foods were collected through a questionnaire form administered face-to-face. Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) and stadiometer were used for conducting anthropometric measurements. All statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS)] and differences of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of the participants was 72.1±4.9 years. The mean BMI was 28.8±4.7 kg/m2 of males and 33.6±5.7 kg/m2 of females. The prevalence of anemia was 31.6% in females and 10.3% in males. While there were no individuals with folate deficiency, 13.0% of the individuals were found to have B12 vitamin deficiency. The proportions of muscle mass and body water, visceral fat, and serum iron level in males were found significantly higher (p<0.05). The highest anemia frequency was observed in obese individuals (30.0%) and individuals aged 75 and over (22.7%) (p<0.05). While there was no relationship between the frequency of main and intermediate meal consumption and anemia, consumption of chicken was found to be significantly associated (p<0.05).Conclusion: Anemia in elderly people was determined to be significantly associated with age, gender, BMI, and the frequency of chicken consumption. Adequate and balanced nutrition for elderly people is important in preventing nutritional anemia.

Ancak erken, orta ve geç dönemdeki adölesanlar fiziksel, psikolojik, bilişsel, duygusal ve sosyal yönden birbirlerinden farklılık gösterebilmektedir. Bu çalışma, erken ve orta dönem adölesanların ana öğün tüketim durumlarının ve yeme tutumlarının değerlendirilmesi amacı ile yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Veriler soru formu kullanılarak, "yüz yüze görüşme tekniği" ile araştırmacılar tarafından toplanmıştır. Yeme tutumununun değerlendirilmesinde "Yeme Tutumu Testi-26" kullanılmıştır. Test puanının 20 veya üzerinde olması risk olarak kabul edilmiştir. Verilerin analizi IBM SPSS Statistics 23 paket programında yapılmış, güvenirlik katsayısı olarak p<0.05 değeri kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya ortalama yaşları 14,5±1,2 yıl olan, 185 erkek (%58,2) ve 133 kız (%41,8) olmak üzere toplam 318 adölesan katılmıştır. Ortalama Yeme Tutumu Testi-26 puanı 20,4±10,7 olup, buna göre yeme tutumu açısından risk altında oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Erken adölesan dönemdeki katılımcıların median test puanı, orta adölesan dönemde olanlara kıyasla daha yüksektir (sırasıyla 20,0; 18,0; p<0.05). Tüm katılımcılar arasında öğle ve akşam yemeğini haftada beş öğünden daha fazla tüketenlerin ortalama test puanları, haftada bir-dört kez tüketenlere kıyasla daha düşüktür ve istatistiksel açıdan önemlidir (p<0.05). Erken adölesan dönemde bu durum yalnızca akşam yemeği için geçerli iken (p<0.05), orta adölesan dönemde ana öğün tüketim sıklıklarına göre ortalama test puanları farklı değildir (p>0.05). Sonuç: Bu sonuçlar, adölesanlara sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıkları kazandırmak ve bu dönemde (özellikle erken ergenlik döneminde) yeme davranış bozukluklarını önlemek için farkındalık çalışmalarının yapılması gerektiğini göstermiştir.

Method: The study design was cross-sectional and during the study period, 776 students who met the inclusion criteria were reached. Declaration-based data were collected using a questionnaire containing the questions on general characteristics and dietary patterns of the students and the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED). The anthropometric measurements were performed and recorded properly. The statistical analysis was carried out using IBM SPSS 15.0 program. Findings: 125 male and 651 female students with a mean age of 19,1 ± 2,8 years participated in the study. As the scores ranging from 4 to7 that obtained on Mediterranean Diet Quality Index denote average diet quality, the mean score achieved by the students in this study was 4,1 ± 2,4. It was found that those who never consumed their main meals outside the home scored higher on the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (p<0.05). No statistically significant relationship was found between the anthropometric measurements and the scores for Mediterranean diet adherence (p>0.05). Conclusion: Out-of-home eating habits can cause many chronic diseases, especially obesity. The Mediterranean diet is an effective nutrition pattern in the prevention of these chronic diseases. As a result of the study, although there was no significant relationship between the anthropometric measurements and adherence to Mediterranean diet among the students, higher adherence among those who did not consume any main meal outside the home indicates that out-of-home eating may be a risk factor.

The study was carried out with 465 university students aged 18-24. The data were collected using a questionnaire. Appropriate statistical analyzes have been made. Results: The mean age of participants is 21.1±1.4 years. The mean score of KIDMED was 4.0±2.4 and 8.6% of them has the best diet quality. There were positive, statistically significant but weak relationships between daily energy, macro nutrient such as carbohydrate, protein, fat, and micro nutrients such as vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, C, folate, calcium, iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus intakes and index score (p<0.05). Conclusion: Positive correlations were found between daily intakes of energy, macronutrients, micronutrients, and KIDMED score. Studies should be done with a larger sample.

Besin alerjisi reaksiyonlarından en fazla sorumlu olan alerjenler inek sütü, yumurta, yer fıstığı, kabuklu deniz ürünleri, buğday ve soyadır. Genetik, hijyen ortamı, var olan atopi durumu, mikrobiyal çevre ve bazı beslenme kaynaklı faktörler besin alerjisi riskinde artış ile ilişkilidir. Geçmişte kabul gören, annenin diyetinden alerjen besinleri çıkarmanın ve bebeği alerjen besinlerle geç tanıştırmanın besin alerjisi riskini azaltmada etkili olmadığı kanıtlanmıştır. Günümüzde; gebe ve emziren annenin beslenmesi (Akdeniz diyeti, n-3 yağ asitleri, D vitamini vb.), bebeğin alerjen besinlerle erken tanıştırılması, hipoalerjik mamalar, prebiyotik ve probiyotik kullanımı besin alerjilerini önlemek için tartışılan konular arasındadır. Bebekleri alerjen besinlerle dört-altı aylarda tanıştırmanın alerji riskini azaltabileceği ile ilgili bazı veriler mevcuttur. Ancak bu stratejilerin etkinliğinin, güvenili...

Therefore, this study aimed to investigate differences in nutrient intake, Children's Dietary Inflammatory Index (C-DII), and dietary quality according to asthma severity. Asthma severity, dietary inflammatory status, and diet quality were assessed in a sample of 202 children with asthma (55.6% males, aged 5-18 years) attending a pediatric allergy outpatient clinic. Asthma severity was evaluated according to the Global Initiative for Asthma criteria and categorized as mild, moderate, or severe. The Children's Dietary Inflammatory Index (C-DII) and Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2010) were calculated based on information collected by the 24-h dietary recall method. Dietary quality was categorized as poor, moderate, or good diet according to HEI-2010. The mean age of the participants was 9.6 ± 3.2 years. Children with severe asthma were younger on average (p < 0.05). Children with mild asthma had significantly higher fiber and iron intake than those with moderate asthma (p < 0.05). C-DII values did not differ significantly according to asthma severity (p > 0.05). Dietary quality was evaluated as moderate in 89.1% of the participants and also showed no difference based on asthma severity. These findings suggest that inflammatory status and diet quality may not affect asthma severity in children, highlighting the influence of various genetic and environmental factors on the association between diet and asthma severity. More comprehensive and longitudinal studies are needed to investigate the mechanisms linking diet and asthma.

While more than half (56.0%) of the teachers consume three meals, the most skipped meals are morning (42.8%) and lunch (55.2%) meals. The most consumed food (38.4%) is fruit in both genders. Nutrient intake of teachers decreases when 46.5% of them are sad and when 37.5% of them are nervous, but for 65.5% of them this intake do not change in excitement (p <0.05). 23.5% of the teachers consume Original Research Article milk daily, 52.5% eat eggs 1-2 times a week, 39.0% eat green leafy vegetables, 52.5% eat fruits and 77.0% eat white bread on a daily basis. Apart from that the most consumed (91.0%) every day drink is tea. In recent years, wrong nutrition habits and the incidence of chronic diseases related with these habits have increased in the society. Considering the teachers' correct nutritional habits on students, it is thought that it is important to have nutrition lessons in undergraduate curriculum and nutrition seminars in in-service training programs in teacher-educated schools.

Obezitenin bazı hastalıklarla ilişkisi iyi bilinmesine rağmen, kanser ile bağlantısı hakkında veriler yetersizdir. Yapılan son araştırmalara göre obezitenin; özefagus, kolorektal, endometriyum, böbrek, meme, prostat, over, mide, tiroid, pankreas, karaciğer, safra kesesi ve hematolojik kanserlerle güçlü ilişkiye sahip olduğu belirtilmektedir. Kanser ve obezite arasındaki bağlantının anlaşılması, kansere karşı kullanılan stratejilerin gelişmesini sağlayacaktır. Her ne kadar obezite ve kanser ilişkisi tam olarak anlaşılamasa da, obeziteden kaçınmak kanser riskinin azaltılmasında en önemli yaklaşımlardan olabilir.

The study was designed as a cross-sectional study and conducted on 105 university female students (mean±SD, 20.3±1.9 years old). Data were collected in face-to-face interviews using questionnaire. The statistical analysis was performed with SPSS 23.0. Univariate and multiple regression analysis was performed to determine the association between participants' BDI levels and diet quality and anthropometric measurements. It was determined that 46.7% had mild and 25.7% had moderate/severe depression symptoms (mean BDI score: 13.6±7.0). Depression scores of young women were positively affected by BMI, waist circumference, waist / height ratio, fat ratio values, and negatively affected by muscle mass (p< .05). The depression scores of young women were positively affected by the NAR energy and NAR carbohydrate scores (p< .05). The iron, calcium and omega 3 NAR scores of young women affected the depression score significantly and negatively (p< .05). This study showed that diet quality was effective in keeping the body composition within the desired values, preventing depression and so enhancing the quality of life. Improving the diet quality is important for promoting the health status and life quality.

Method: A total number of 77 individuals aged 65 and over were involved in this study. The diagnosis of anemia was made according to the plasma hemoglobin levels of the patients based on WHO criteria. The data related to eating habits and socio-demographic features of the individuals and their consumption frequency of some foods were collected through a questionnaire form administered face-to-face. Bioelectric Impedance Analysis (BIA) and stadiometer were used for conducting anthropometric measurements. All statistical analyses were performed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS)] and differences of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: The mean age of the participants was 72.1±4.9 years. The mean BMI was 28.8±4.7 kg/m2 of males and 33.6±5.7 kg/m2 of females. The prevalence of anemia was 31.6% in females and 10.3% in males. While there were no individuals with folate deficiency, 13.0% of the individuals were found to have B12 vitamin deficiency. The proportions of muscle mass and body water, visceral fat, and serum iron level in males were found significantly higher (p<0.05). The highest anemia frequency was observed in obese individuals (30.0%) and individuals aged 75 and over (22.7%) (p<0.05). While there was no relationship between the frequency of main and intermediate meal consumption and anemia, consumption of chicken was found to be significantly associated (p<0.05).Conclusion: Anemia in elderly people was determined to be significantly associated with age, gender, BMI, and the frequency of chicken consumption. Adequate and balanced nutrition for elderly people is important in preventing nutritional anemia.

Subjects and Methods: This study was conducted on 491 adults (M:169, F:322). The average daily caffeine intake of individuals was calculated using the amounts of caffeinated beverages they consumed daily and the caffeine contents of these beverages. The participants’ depression status was determined using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). All of the research data were evaluated using STATA. Results: According to BDI scores, 30.1% of participants had depression. Black tea was consumed by all of the partici- pants and also had the highest consumption level of 620.1±90.4mL and the mean caffeine intake of the participants was 629.5±418.8 mg. Multivariate regression analyses showed that consuming more than 1 cup was protective against depression up to 4 cups. Moreover, a 450-600 mg caffeine intake also reduces the risk of depression than lower or higher intake levels. Con...

Gebelikte, besin ögelerinin ciddi veya orta düzeyde yetersizliğinde, hayat kurtarıcı nitelikte olan destekler; hafif yetersizlik veya maternal depoların yeterli olduğu koşullarda, çeşitli riskleri de beraberinde getirmektedir. Doğumsal anomalilerin önlenmesinde etkisi kanıtlanmış olan folik asitin maternal dönemde fazla alımı durumunda kanserojeniteyi tetikleyebileceği, çinko emilimini olumsuz etkileyebileceği, B12 vitamini eksikliğinin tanısında ve tedavisinde gecikmelere yol açabileceği, çocukluk çağı astım, alerji riski ile ilişkili olabileceği görülmüştür. Eksikliği fetal anomaliler ile ilişkilendirilen bir diğer vitamin olan B12’nin toksik etkisi bildirilmemekle birlikte literatür taramasında fazla alımı durumunda alerjik reaksiyonla...

Ancak erken, orta ve geç dönemdeki adölesanlar fiziksel, psikolojik, bilişsel, duygusal ve sosyal yönden birbirlerinden farklılık gösterebilmektedir. Bu çalışma, erken ve orta dönem adölesanların ana öğün tüketim durumlarının ve yeme tutumlarının değerlendirilmesi amacı ile yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Veriler soru formu kullanılarak, "yüz yüze görüşme tekniği" ile araştırmacılar tarafından toplanmıştır. Yeme tutumununun değerlendirilmesinde "Yeme Tutumu Testi-26" kullanılmıştır. Test puanının 20 veya üzerinde olması risk olarak kabul edilmiştir. Verilerin analizi IBM SPSS Statistics 23 paket programında yapılmış, güvenirlik katsayısı olarak p<0.05 değeri kabul edilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya ortalama yaşları 14,5±1,2 yıl olan, 185 erkek (%58,2) ve 133 kız (%41,8) olmak üzere toplam 318 adölesan katılmıştır. Ortalama Yeme Tutumu Testi-26 puanı 20,4±10,7 olup, buna göre yeme tutumu açısından risk altında oldukları tespit edilmiştir. Erken adölesan dönemdeki katılımcıların median test puanı, orta adölesan dönemde olanlara kıyasla daha yüksektir (sırasıyla 20,0; 18,0; p<0.05). Tüm katılımcılar arasında öğle ve akşam yemeğini haftada beş öğünden daha fazla tüketenlerin ortalama test puanları, haftada bir-dört kez tüketenlere kıyasla daha düşüktür ve istatistiksel açıdan önemlidir (p<0.05). Erken adölesan dönemde bu durum yalnızca akşam yemeği için geçerli iken (p<0.05), orta adölesan dönemde ana öğün tüketim sıklıklarına göre ortalama test puanları farklı değildir (p>0.05). Sonuç: Bu sonuçlar, adölesanlara sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıkları kazandırmak ve bu dönemde (özellikle erken ergenlik döneminde) yeme davranış bozukluklarını önlemek için farkındalık çalışmalarının yapılması gerektiğini göstermiştir.

Method: The study design was cross-sectional and during the study period, 776 students who met the inclusion criteria were reached. Declaration-based data were collected using a questionnaire containing the questions on general characteristics and dietary patterns of the students and the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED). The anthropometric measurements were performed and recorded properly. The statistical analysis was carried out using IBM SPSS 15.0 program. Findings: 125 male and 651 female students with a mean age of 19,1 ± 2,8 years participated in the study. As the scores ranging from 4 to7 that obtained on Mediterranean Diet Quality Index denote average diet quality, the mean score achieved by the students in this study was 4,1 ± 2,4. It was found that those who never consumed their main meals outside the home scored higher on the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (p<0.05). No statistically significant relationship was found between the anthropometric measurements and the scores for Mediterranean diet adherence (p>0.05). Conclusion: Out-of-home eating habits can cause many chronic diseases, especially obesity. The Mediterranean diet is an effective nutrition pattern in the prevention of these chronic diseases. As a result of the study, although there was no significant relationship between the anthropometric measurements and adherence to Mediterranean diet among the students, higher adherence among those who did not consume any main meal outside the home indicates that out-of-home eating may be a risk factor.

The study was carried out with 465 university students aged 18-24. The data were collected using a questionnaire. Appropriate statistical analyzes have been made. Results: The mean age of participants is 21.1±1.4 years. The mean score of KIDMED was 4.0±2.4 and 8.6% of them has the best diet quality. There were positive, statistically significant but weak relationships between daily energy, macro nutrient such as carbohydrate, protein, fat, and micro nutrients such as vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, C, folate, calcium, iron, zinc, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus intakes and index score (p<0.05). Conclusion: Positive correlations were found between daily intakes of energy, macronutrients, micronutrients, and KIDMED score. Studies should be done with a larger sample.

Besin alerjisi reaksiyonlarından en fazla sorumlu olan alerjenler inek sütü, yumurta, yer fıstığı, kabuklu deniz ürünleri, buğday ve soyadır. Genetik, hijyen ortamı, var olan atopi durumu, mikrobiyal çevre ve bazı beslenme kaynaklı faktörler besin alerjisi riskinde artış ile ilişkilidir. Geçmişte kabul gören, annenin diyetinden alerjen besinleri çıkarmanın ve bebeği alerjen besinlerle geç tanıştırmanın besin alerjisi riskini azaltmada etkili olmadığı kanıtlanmıştır. Günümüzde; gebe ve emziren annenin beslenmesi (Akdeniz diyeti, n-3 yağ asitleri, D vitamini vb.), bebeğin alerjen besinlerle erken tanıştırılması, hipoalerjik mamalar, prebiyotik ve probiyotik kullanımı besin alerjilerini önlemek için tartışılan konular arasındadır. Bebekleri alerjen besinlerle dört-altı aylarda tanıştırmanın alerji riskini azaltabileceği ile ilgili bazı veriler mevcuttur. Ancak bu stratejilerin etkinliğinin, güvenili...

Therefore, this study aimed to investigate differences in nutrient intake, Children's Dietary Inflammatory Index (C-DII), and dietary quality according to asthma severity. Asthma severity, dietary inflammatory status, and diet quality were assessed in a sample of 202 children with asthma (55.6% males, aged 5-18 years) attending a pediatric allergy outpatient clinic. Asthma severity was evaluated according to the Global Initiative for Asthma criteria and categorized as mild, moderate, or severe. The Children's Dietary Inflammatory Index (C-DII) and Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2010) were calculated based on information collected by the 24-h dietary recall method. Dietary quality was categorized as poor, moderate, or good diet according to HEI-2010. The mean age of the participants was 9.6 ± 3.2 years. Children with severe asthma were younger on average (p < 0.05). Children with mild asthma had significantly higher fiber and iron intake than those with moderate asthma (p < 0.05). C-DII values did not differ significantly according to asthma severity (p > 0.05). Dietary quality was evaluated as moderate in 89.1% of the participants and also showed no difference based on asthma severity. These findings suggest that inflammatory status and diet quality may not affect asthma severity in children, highlighting the influence of various genetic and environmental factors on the association between diet and asthma severity. More comprehensive and longitudinal studies are needed to investigate the mechanisms linking diet and asthma.
