    Effects of Nutrition Education Given to Persons with Multiple Sclerosis and Their Families on Diet Quality and Anthropometric and Biochemical Measurements
    (2022) Uzdil, Zeynep; Turker, Perim Fatma; Terzi, Murat
    Objective In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effects of nutrition education given to persons with multiple sclerosis and their families on anthropometric and biochemical measurements and diet quality. Methods Data from 51 persons with multiple sclerosis were analysed in this intervention study. The study was conducted with 3 groups. The education group consisted of only persons with multiple sclerosis, the family education group consisted of persons with multiple sclerosis and a family member living with them, and the control group consisted of persons with multiple sclerosis who had not received an education. Anthropometric and biochemical measurements and dietary quality assessments were made before (T1) and immediately after education (T2) and also 3 months after education (follow-up, T3). Results The distribution of family education group diet quality scores showed a significant increase from "poor" to "needs improvement" at T3 compared to T1. The upper middle arm circumference measurements of the female control group were decreased at T2 and T3 [from 29.0 (23-34) cm to 28.0 (22-31) cm and to 27.5 (22-31) cm]. Women in family education group, levels of serum haemoglobin and haematocrit were higher than in control group at T2 and T3. Also, men in family education group, levels of alanine aminotransferase were lower than those in education group at follow up. Levels of total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol in education group were higher than those control group at T1, T2, and T3. Conclusion This study indicates that nutrition education affects some biochemical and anthropometric measurements in persons with multiple sclerosis. Diet quality improved when receiving education together with families.

    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.
