Item The Relationship Between Body Image and Anthropometric Measurements Among Adolescent Girls During Menstrual and Non-menstrualtime Periods: A Cross-Sectional Study(2022) Turker, Perim Fatma; Caliskan, Hilal; Bayram, SinemIntroduction: In recent studies, it has been suggested that anxiety about body image increases during menstruation in adolescents and may affect nutritional status. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between adolescents' body images, body perceptions and anthropometric measurements during menstrual and non-menstrual time periods.Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out in a private high school between September November 2021. Participants were adolescent girls aged 14-18. The questionnaire included information about menstruation, anthropometric measurements, and the Body Cathexis Scale (BCS) and Stunkard Figure Rating Scale.Results: The mean age (total=291) was 15.9(1.13) years, body mass index (BMI) was 21.13(3.33) kg/m2, waist circumference was 70.48(8.87) cm and the BCS was 97.39(24.59). The majority of students have normal BMI. However, according to waist circumference 28.5% of the them were obese (>= 90th percentile). Difference between actual BMIs and body image in the menstrual period was significant (p<0.001), the agreement with each other was slight (K=0.172). There was a significant difference (p<0.001) between actual BMIs and body image in the non-menstrual period and the agreement with each other was moderate (K=0.474). During non-menstrual periods, 79.7% of students with normal BMI perceived their body images as normal, and 70.5% of overweight students perceived as overweight.Conclusions: Since the menstruation is a period in which body image is perceived differently than it is, special consideration of adolescent girls in terms for eating disorders should be encouraged.Item Evaluation of the Knowledge Level, Practice and Attitudes of the Caregivers on Ketogenic Diet Management(2022) Bayram, Sinem; Caliskan, HilalObjective: Patients with intractable childhood epilepsy may benefit from ketogenic diet treatment. Management of ketogenic diet depends on the knowledge level and practice and attitudes of their caregivers. Although advances have been made on early diagnosis and treatment options, there is still a lack of knowledge in children with epilepsy and their caregivers. Methods: In the study, 40 voluntary individuals caring for a child with intractable childhood epilepsy who is under a ketogenic diet were included. The visual analog scale was used to determine adherence to the ketogenic diet for both caregivers and children. Dietary adherence of young children (<10 years) was assessed by the caregiver. Ketogenic diet knowledge of caregivers was determined to form with 40 questions (free/prohibited foods, meal contents, any form of carbohydrate sources, label reading, side effect awareness, and management practices). Results: Availability of ketogenic products, feeling of hunger, frequent glucose, and ketone measurement were determined to be the most difficulties in adherence to the ketogenic diet. According to the visual analog scale results, the mean knowledge level of the caregivers was 3.55 +/- 3.67, ketogenic diet adherence was 7.52 +/- 2.40 for the caregivers, and 8.42 +/- 1.62 for the patients. 25% of the caregivers have high, 65% of them have low knowledge. The number of antiepileptic drugs used decreased. The number of seizures per week was 32.65 +/- 21.15 before the ketogenic diet, it decreased to 21.54 +/- 15.69. Conclusions: The effectiveness of the ketogenic diet was better in medium and high knowledge levels. As the competence increases, ketogenic diet management will be easier. Therefore, it would be beneficial to visit a dietitian during clinic visits and to seek answers to food-related problems.Item Effect of adherence to carbohydrate counting on metabolic control in children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus(2020) Bayram, Sinem; Kiziltan, Gul; Akin, Onur; 0000-0003-1569-7747; 32871653Purpose: Carbohydrate counting provides better glycemic control and flexibility than other food planning methods. Consistent adherence to such a complex method is difficult, especially for youth. However, studies that determine adherence to this method and whether it alters metabolic control are limited. The aim of the current study was to determine adherence to this method and investigate its effect on metabolic control, anthropometric measurements, insulin dose, and energy intake. Methods: In this prospective cross-sectional study, 53 children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes mellitus aged 2 to18 years and receiving intensive insulin therapy were trained and followed for 6 months. Demographics, anthropometrics, insulin requirements, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting lipids, and food records at baseline and study conclusion were evaluated. At the end of the study patients were divided into adherer and nonadherer groups according to carbohydrate estimate deviations from standardized daily sample menus and calculations for accurate insulin doses. More than 10-g variation in daily consumed carbohydrate amount or failure to decide bolus insulin dose was defined as a nonadherer. Results: The mean HbA1c, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and body mass index standard deviation score changed after the carbohydrate counting training while the mean HbA1c between groups was significant (P<0.05). Total daily insulin doses increased, and the mean high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels decreased in both groups. There were significant correlations between HbA1c and carbohydrate deviation scores as well as HbA1c and caregiver's education level. Conclusion: Since adherence to carbohydrate counting may affect metabolic control, health professionals should evaluate and monitor carbohydrate counting skills of caregivers and patients in order to improve efficiency.Item Effects of reproductive and sociodemographic factors on obesity in Turkish women: a pilot study(2019) Bayram, Sinem; Koseler, Esra; Kiziltan, Gul; Ok, Mebtap Akcil; Yesil, Esen; Kose, Beril; Ozdemir, Merve; Muftuoglu, Selen; Saka, Mendane; Aksoydan, Emine; Tayfur, Muhittin; Turker, Perim Fatma; Ercan, Aydan; 0000-0003-1569-7747; 0000-0002-4254-3711; AAF-4491-2021; AAG-6763-2020Background and aim: Obesity has become a global epidemic. The current research aimed to determine sociodemographic and reproductive predictors of obesity among Turkish women. Materials and methods: Eligible subjects (n:833) were 40-64 years-old women living in Turkey. A questionnaire consisted of questions about sociodemographic and reproductive factors and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire were applied to participants by face to face interviews. Multivariate logistic regression examined the risk of being obese with a range of sociodemographic and reproductive factors. All analyses were performed with SPSS software (version 17.0; SPSS, Chicago, Ill., USA). Results: The mean BMI of women aged 51-64 years was 30.59 +/- 6.35 kg/m(2). After adjustments for all other variables, increased obesity risk remained significant in women who had two children, housewifes, minimum active ones, ex smokers and had less than high school education. For multiple regression analysis sociodemographic factors from the bivariate analyses were entered, controlling for menarch age, menopausal age, hormone RT, parity, number of stillbirth, abortion. There was significant association between family income, occupation, education and BMI. Conclusion. In summary these findings showed comparable patterns of association of sociodemographic and reproductive factors with obesity in Turkey. Specific healthy lifestyle counseling is important for decreasing obesity in childbearing age women.Item The relationship between quality of life and anthropometric measurements in premenopausal and postmenopausal among turkish women(2019) Kose, Beril; Yesil, Esen; Turker, Perim Fatma; Ok, Mehtap Akcil; Bayram, Sinem; Beyaz, Esra Koseler; Ozdemir, Merve; Muftuoglu, Selen; Tayfur, Muhittin; Aksoydan, Emine; Ercan, Aydan; Saka, Mendane; Kiziltan, Gul; 0000-0003-1569-7747; AAG-6763-2020The aim of this work was to investigate whether there is a relationship between anthropometric measurements and quality of life scores during pre and postmenopouse period. A descriptive study was carried out on 1276 women (40-64 years). Demographic features, socioeconomic attributes and anthropometric measurements were considered using a validated instrument the Turkish version of the EUROHIS (WHOQOL-8.Tr) was performed. Significant body mass index (BMI), height, waist circumference, hip circumference, waist/ height ratio differences were determined by comparing pre and postmenopausal women (p <0.05). Significantly lower quality of life scores were observed in premenopausal women (p<0.05). BMI was determined as significant predictor for quality of life for each group. The number of pregnancy, number of live birth, number of stillbirth and waist/height ratio did not show significant association with quality of life. The age of first pregnancy was stated as significant predictor for quality of life just for premenopausal women. In our study, quality of life increased as the BMI decreased in pre and postmenopausal women. Significantly lower WHO-8 EUROHIS scores were observed in premenopausal women. The age of first pregnancy affected the life quality in positive way in just premenopausal women. As the age of first pregnancy increased, quality of life score increased in premenopausal women.
