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.

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.

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.

    (2016) Kiziltan, Gul; Alim, Nural Erzurum; 28083060
    Objective: To determine the risk factors of obesity and diet on breast cancer in Ankara, Turkey. Methods: A case-controlled study was carried out on newly diagnosed 40 breast cancer patients [patient group (PC)] and 40 volunteer individuals [control group (CG)] with no diagnosis of cancer and history of cancer in the family with similar characteristics to the age and gender-matched patient group between March and July 2016. All the individuals were administered a questionnaire by face-to-face interview method. Results: The mean menarche age, age at first birth and menopause age were 13.0 +/- 1.17, 22.6 +/- 3.78 and 44.33 +/- 2.39 years in PG and 12.3 +/- 0.95, 21.6 +/- 2.99, 46.71 +/- 2.41 years in CG, respectively. The mean BMI values were determined as 28.1 +/- 6.75 kg/m(2) in PG and 30.1 +/- 6.18 kg/m(2) in CG (p>0.05). It was determined that intake of vitamin C and fiber decreases the risk of breast cancer. Also, eating quickly and smoking were risk factors for breast cancer (p<0.05). Conclusion: This study indicated that there are relationships between menarche age, menopause age, and age at first birth, eating quickly, smoking and breast cancer. Conversely, there are significant negative relationships between dietary fiber, vitamin C intake and breast cancer. As a result, it can be said that there is a link between breast cancer and lifestyle factors and a reduction in the risk of developing breast cancer can be achieved through changes in diet, one of the lifestyle factors.
