    Differences in Eating Behaviours and Mothers Attitudes Between Baby-Led Weaning vs. Traditional Spoon-Feeding Approaches in Turkiye
    (APPETITE, 2024-12-01) Karagoz, Incilay; Bayram, Sinem); Caliskan, Hilal; Yilmaz, Can Selim
    This study was aimed to examine the differences in eating behaviours and mothers attitudes between baby-led vs. traditional spoon-feeding approaches and its effect on eating behaviours in preschool children. The study was conducted with 150 mothers of children aged 2-6, who applied to the Pediatrics Polyclinic of Bas,kent University Ankara Hospital, between December 2022 and February 2023. Sociodemographics, biochemical parameters were recorded to form. Maternal attitudes and eating behaviours of children were evaluated with Mother's Attitudes Towards the Feeding Process Scale (MATFP) and Early Childhood Adaptive Eating Behaviour Scale (ECAEB), respectively. The mean age of the children was 43.80 +/- 11.04 months and 51.3% of them were girls. A weak negative correlation was found between the ECAEB total scores and the child age (r = -0.196, p < 0.05). A moderate positive correlation was found between the total scores of the MATFP and ECAEB (r = 0.699, p < 0.001). There wasn't significant difference between the MATFP total scores who chose baby-led weaning or traditional feeding (p > 0.05). According to the ECAEB; aggression and reaction to main meal order subgroup scores of children who consumed pureed vegetables until the ninth month were higher than those who didn't consume them (p < 0.05). Mothers who prefer the TSF offer their babies more blenderized and pureed foods, while those who prefer the BLW serve fork-mashed, steamed and sliced foods (p < 0,05). As the mothers' subscale scores for negative affect during meals, attitudes about insufficient/unbalanced feeding, negative feeding strategies, forced feeding, reaction to viewpoint of others increase, so did their subscale scores for child reluctance, eating refusal associated with sensory causes, aggression, reaction to main meal order increase. Consequently, it's believed that maternal attitudes and actions should be taken into account while evaluating the eating habits of toddlers.

    The Relationship of Food Literacy and Sustainable Consumption Behaviors with Anthropometric Measurements during the Covid-19 Pandemic Period: A Sample from Turkey
    (JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN NUTRITION ASSOCIATION, 2024) Celik, Cansu; Turker, Perim Fatma; Caliskan, Hilal
    Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the impact of food literacy and sustainable consumption behaviors on nutritional status during the pandemic in Turkey.Methods: The study was conducted between May and July 2021 with a questionnaire delivered in a digital environment (social media, Twitter/Facebook/Instagram) to 200 volunteer adults aged 20-65. With this questionnaire form, sociodemographic characteristics, general information, and consumer behaviors of the individuals were obtained. Anthropometric measurements (height, body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, hip circumference, waist/hip ratio, and waist/height ratio) of the individuals were recorded online as self-report. The Self Perceived Food Literacy (SPFL) Scale was administered to measure nutritional literacy levels. To measure the sustainable consumption behaviors of the individuals, the Sustainable Consumption Behavior (SCB) Scale was administered.Results: We found that 87.2% of women and 40% of men had heard of sustainable nutrition before (p < 0.001). The mean total score of SCB was statistically significantly higher in women than in men (3.1 +/- 0.48 in women, 2.9 +/- 0.69 in men, p < 0.05). The mean score of SPFL was 3.31 +/- 0.275 in women, while it was 3.05 +/- 0.395 in men. There was a statistically significant relationship between SPFL mean scores and gender (p < 0.05).Conclusion: There was a statistically significant negative relationship between SPFL score and BMI, body weight, and waist/hip ratio. There was a statistically significant negative relationship between the SCB and waist/hip ratio. Food literacy and sustainable consumption behaviors are associated with anthropometric measurements. Sustainable nutrition, sustainable consumption behaviors, and food literacy should be considered as a whole. Trainings should be increased to raise awareness of individuals about food literacy.

    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, Sinem
    Introduction: 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.
