Item Determination of Dietary Status as a Risk Factor of Cardiovascular Heart Disease in Turkish Elderly People(2015) Keser, Alev; Ayhan, Nurcan Yabanci; Bilgic, Pelin; Tayfur, Muhittin; Simsek, Isil; 25603127Item Nutritional Vulnerability of Older Adults Living with Their Families in Urban Areas of Ankara, Turkey: A Cross-Sectional Study(2014) Yabanci, Nurcan; Bilgic, Pelin; Simsek, Isil; Tayfur, Muhittin; Hongu, Nobuko; https://orcid.org/0000-0003-1233-246X; H-6956-2018Item The Determination of Total Energy and Nutrient Intake in Older Adults in Turkey(2015) Ayhan, Nurcan Yabanci; Bilgic, Pelin; Simsek, Isil; Tayfur, Muhittin; Hongu, NobukoNutritional assessment is closely related to mortality and morbidity of the elderly. The study examined the total energy intake and nutrients among a diverse sample of older adults. The study sample consisted of 549 subjects (250 men and 299 women) aged 65 and above, who live in Ankara, Turkey. Dietary intakes were obtained using a 24-hour recall method. The averages of daily energy intakes were 1653.3 +/- 596.7 kcal in men and 1614.1 +/- 612.7 kcal in women. The insufficient intake of thiamine, vitamin B-12, calcium, magnesium and zinc were 46.2, 31.7, 69.6, 59.4, and 42.3 percent, respectively in both men and women. Inadequate intakes of total energy and nutrients identified in this study may provide a useful basis for dietary interventions targeted at older adults in Turkey. To meet recommended dietary intake among older adults, it is important to provide a simple approach that encourages choosing high quality diets.Item The Relation Between Meal Frequency and Obesity in Adults(2018) Muftuoglu, Selen; Ozdemir, Merve; Saka, Mendane; Ok, Mehtap Akcil; Koseler, Esra; Bayram, Sinem; Yesil, Esen; Kose, Beril; Turker, Perim; Ercan, Aydan; Aksoydan, Emine; Tayfur, Muhittin; Kiziltan, Gul; 0000-0003-1569-7747; AAF-4491-2021; AAX-4714-2021; AAG-6763-2020; AAZ-8170-2020Objective: To determine the relation between meal frequency and obesity in adults. Methods: A cross-sectional study was done among 1829 volunteer (520 men, 1309 women) selected through a multi-stage stratified random sampling method during 2015/2016. A standardized, confidential data collection sheet was used. It included socio-demographic factors, dietary behaviors, anthropometric measurements and energy-macro and micronutrient intakes. Results: The median meal frequency of women and men were 4 and 3, respectively. Approximately 57% of men and 61% of women have skipped meals and 76.8% of them were skipped their lunch. In addition, the individuals whose BMI were under and over 25 kg/m(2) (72.4%, 78.3%, respectively) often skipped lunch. The meal frequency positively correlated with waist to hip ratio in women (p<0.05). Additionally, there were positively significant correlations between meal frequency and saturated fatty acids, fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium and iron intake (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study indicated that increased meal frequency may have a beneficial effect on micronutrients intakes and some anthropometric measurements among adults.Item Comparison between the use of vitamin d supplement by 20-49 year old women and their nutrition and depression status(2021) Soykurt, Seniha Cukurovali; Tayfur, Muhittin; Celen, Emine UlucamObjective: Aim of this study is to determine the possible relation between the nutritional status, food choices, eating habits, and Vitamin D supplement use of pregnant women between 20-49 years of age, and depression. Methods: The study was conducted between December 2018 and January 2019, on a total of 150 pregnant women between the ages of 20 and 49, who were admitted to Ankara Ataturk Training and Research Hospital Obstetrics and Gynaecology Policlinic. A questionnaire was used in order to identify personal data of the individuals, levels of serum Vitamin D, depression status, physical changes and other information regarding the changes in food consumption. Dietary habits and food consumption records of the individuals were obtained through face-to-face interviews. Results: A total of 75 individuals participating in the study used Vitamin D, while the other 75 did not. Of the individuals participating in the study, beck depression score median of those who used Vitamin D was found as 9.00 (IQR =6), while it was 33.00 (IQR =13) for those who did not. When the scores were analyzed based on Vitamin D use, it was found that there were statistically significant differences. Conclusions: There is evidence from epidemiological studies that show that vitamin D deficiency or insufficiency is associated with depression. Therefore, it is appropriate to recommend taking vitamin D supplements to prevent or treat depression in risk groups. Larger studies are needed to examine this situation in detail.Item BMI, Physical Activity, Sleep Quality, Eating Attitudes, Emotions: Which One is Affected by Mindful Eating?(2021) Kose, Gizem; Tayfur, MuhittinPresent study, it was aimed to examine the eating attitude and mindful eating status of students and to examine the change of mindful eating status' besides informing with nutrition course. The study was executed by 318 healthy students aged 18-45 years, randomly selected among students studying at Uskudar University between September 2015 and May 2016. In addition to a survey form containing personal and health information of the students, the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT-40) was conducted by Savasir and Erol, and the Mindful Eating Questionnare-30 (MEQ-30) scale conducted by Turkish Kose et al. The mean age of the participants was 21.56 +/- 3.82 year. The mean score of the participants' EAT-40 score was found to be 24.22 +/- 13.98 and the mean score of the MEQwas 98.11 +/- 13.81. As the EAT-40 scores decreased, MEQ scores increased, but this relationship was not statistically significant (p> 0.05). It has been shown that 28.9% of students have an eating disorder risk. There was no statistically significant difference between men's (23.33 +/- 15.60) and women's (24.48 +/- 13.50) mean EAT-40 scores (p>0.05). Overweight-obese group was found to be having higher EAT-40 scores than the other BMI classes (p <0.05). While the students' body weight and BMI increased, the risk of eating disorder increased (r = 0.112, p <0.05 and r = 0.139, p <0.05), and mindful eating decreased (p> 0.05). A significant relationship was found between weight, BMI and MEQ subscales (r =-0.252, p <0.01 and r =-0.208, p<0.01). As food preferences evaluated, 33.3% of students that is vegan, 26.4% of the students that have no food preference and 24.1% of the students that don't eat red meat were at risk of eating disorder (p <0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between the EAT-40 score groups according to walking status of the participants (p> 0.05). There was a statistically significant relationship between walking status and emotional eating that is one of MEQ subscales (r = -0.159, p <0.01). As having nutrition course, EAT-40 score decreased and the score of MEQ increased (p> 0.05). There was no statistically significant relationship between the level of taking the course and EAT-40, MEQ or the subscales of MEQ (p> 0.05). In sum, nutrition courses influence students' eating attitudes and mindful eating positively. In addition, gaining mindfulness of eating will be helping manage to weight status.Item Effect of Emotional State on Nutrition Behavior in Working and Non-Working Women Living in Manavgat District(2020) Ulucay, Vahibe; Tayfur, Muhittin; Koseoglu, Sabiha Zeynep Aydenk; 0000-0001-7936-8462; R-9543-2018Background/Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate whether there is the relationship between these cases by comparing moods like depression, stress, anxiety, nutrition behaviors, food preferences and anthropometric measurements of working and non-working women living in Manavgat district. Materials/Methods: This study is a cross-sectional analytical study. G* Power 3.1.3 package program was used to determine the number of working and non-working women to participate in the study. The interviews were conducted with working and non-working women between 25-45 years of age living in Manavgat. The study was conducted with a total of 210 women, 105 working and 105 non-working. It was completed within 6 months after the approval of the Ethics Committee dated 31/03/2017 and numbered KA17 / 76 by Baskent University Clinical Research Ethics Committee. Demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, 24-hour retrospective food consumption records, depression, anxiety, stress levels (Depression-Anxiety-Stress Scale (DASO) and feeding behaviors (Revised Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ-R18) were evaluated. Body weight (kg), height (cm), waist and hip circumference (cm) measurements of the subjects were taken by the researcher and waist / hip ratio, body mass index (BMI) (kg /m(2)) were calculated. In order to assess the nutritional status of the participants, the nutrient consumption recording form (ANNEX-4) was completed by using the food and food photo catalog by asking individuals the type and amount of all food and beverages they had consumed in the last 24 hours using the reminder method. SPSS 21 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences) program was used for statistical analysis. while evaluating the data obtained in the research, Qualitative variables were expressed as number (S) and percentage (%), and quantitative variables were expressed as mean, standard deviation (SD), lower and upper values. The suitability of the variables to normal distribution was examined using Kolmogorov-Smirnov / Shapiro-Wilk Tests.. Ear Spearman Correlation Test "was used to examine the statistical relationships between the variables that were not found to fit the normal distribution. Results: The difference between stress, anxiety and cognitive restriction scores of working and non-working women was statistically significant (p <0.05). A statistically significant difference was found between BMI and uncontrolled eating and cognitive restriction scores in both working and non-working women. Uncontrolled eating, cognitive restriction and emotional eating were found to be correlated with energy, protein, carbohydrate and fat (p <0.05). It also differs in working and non-working women. Conclusions: These findings showed that negative moods of working and non-working women have been found to have adverse effects on their nutrition behaviors.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.
