    (2021) Soykurt, Seniha Cukurovali; Tayfur, Muhittin; Celen, Emine Ulucam
    Objective: 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.

    The comparison of physical activity, disability, and quality of life of pregnant women in different trimesters
    (2018) Sonmezer, E.
    Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the physical activity, disability, and quality of life in pregnant women in different trimesters. Material and Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study and a total of 91 pregnant women (first trimester n=20, second trimester n= 34, third trimester n=37) were enrolled. The physical activity levels were evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire; the disability was evaluated with the Oswestry Low Back Pain Questionnaire, and the quality of life levels was determined with the Short Form-36 questionnaire. Results: The demographic features of the pregnant women were similar in different trimesters (p>.05). The comparison of their physical activity levels in terms of trimesters, the level of moderate and vigorous physical activities, and the activity level of walking showed no difference (p>.05). The total physical activity level in the second trimester was higher than in the first trimester (p=.048); the level of disability due to low back pain was significantly higher in the third trimester than other trimesters (p=.003); and the physical function parameter of the quality of life scale was significantly lower in the third trimester compared to the first and the second ones (p=.001). However, there were no significant differences in the other parameters of the quality of life (p>.05). Conclusion: The levels of physical activity, physical functioning and disability varied in different trimesters. It can be stated that the progress of the pregnancy decreases physical function and triggers disability due to low back pain; however, the change in the level of physical activity is related to the adaptation to pregnancy and not to gestational age.
