Item The Correlation Of Uric Acid Levels With Biochemical Parameters And Dietary Factors In Individuals With Asymptomatic Hyperuricemia And Gouty Arthritis(2022) Turker, Perim Fatma; Hoca, Mustafa; Ozduran, Gulsen; Ok, Mehtap Akcil; Celebi, Merve Demir; 35300582Diet may play an important role in the development of asymptomatic hyperuricemia (ASH) and gouty arthritis (GOUT). However, the association between dietary factors and hyperuricemia remains unclear. Serum uric acid levels are affected by dietary factors. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation of uric acid levels with biochemical parameters and dietary factors in individuals with ASH and GOUT. This study was conducted in 145 individuals with ASH and GOUT. General characteristics of individuals were collected via face-to-face interviews. Food frequency questionnaire was used to obtain energy, macro- and micronutrients intakes. Biochemical parameters were obtained from patient files. The incidence of gout was higher in men comparing to women. Individuals in the GOUT group consumed more alcohol and higher serum levels of vitamin B-12, C-reactive protein (CRP), triglyceride, and uric acid. Individuals in the GOUT group had higher intakes of energy, protein, carbohydrate, fat, fructose, vitamin C, and vitamin B-12. Triglyceride, uric acid, CRP, vitamin B-12, and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance were found to be affected by high uric acid levels. Dietary factors can pose a risk for health problems in addition to GOUT and ASH, such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity.Item Association of Mini Nutritional Assessment with anthropometric measurements and muscle strength in elderly people: a neglected risk group(2021) Hoca, Mustafa; Turker, Perim F.Aim: Elderly individuals that are one of the neglected risk group are at a higher risk for health problems owing to inadequate and unbalanced nutrition. Nutritional status is also an important determinant of health in people over 65 years of age. Screening and diagnostic instruments are important in the recognition of the elderly people in evaluating the results of malnutrition. Unfortunately, there is no gold standard for the detection of malnutrition in elderly people. In this study, we aimed to assess the association of Mini Nutritional Assessment with anthropometric measurements and muscle strength in elderly people. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study included 210 elderly volunteers. Anthropometric measurements were taken, body mass index (BMI) values were calculated and muscle strength was evaluated by a hand dynamometer. Nutritional status was assessed using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) screening tool. The study was approved by Research Ethics Committee. Results: Elderly individuals with a BMI value of >= 30 kg/m(2) had significantly lower right and left hand grip strengths than BMI values of 18.5-24.9 kg/m(2) and 25-29.9 kg/m(2). However, elderly individuals with a BMI of >= 30 kg/m(2) had significantly higher waist/ hip ratio, waist/height ratio, body fat percentage, waist, hip, calf, neck and mid-upper arm circumferences than BMI values of 18.5-24.9 kg/m(2) and 25-29.9 kg/m(2). Additionally, a positive and statistically significant correlation was determined between the right- and left-hand grip strengths and the MNA score in women. Conclusion: To improve the nutritional status, elderly people should be monitored at regular intervals by obtaining anthropometric and muscle strength measurements and performing nutritional status screening tests.
