Item Children's Power of Food Scale: Turkish validity and reliability study(2021) Sahin-Bodur, Gulsum; Keser, Alev; Akcil-Ok, Mehtap; Unsal, Emine Nuket; Akin, Onur; 34472427Objective: The aim of the present study was to validate the Turkish version of the Children's Power of Food Scale (C-PFS-T) after translation of the original version. Design: The data were collected via face-to-face interviews using the C-PFS-T and a socio-demographic information form. BMI was calculated by dividing body weight by the square of the height. After the adaptation of the scale to Turkish language, validity and reliability analysis were conducted for the C-PFS-T. Setting: Gulhane Training and Research Hospital Department of Child Health and Diseases Nutrition and Diet Unit in Ankara. Participants: This research was conducted with volunteer children and adolescents between the ages of 9 and 16 years (n 268). Results: It was concluded that the 15-item C-PFS-T was collected under three factors as in the original version of the child version. Cronbach's alpha coefficient was found to be 0 center dot 878 for the scale. The confirmatory factor analysis results showed the acceptability and applicability of adapting the version of the C-PFS-T in terms of chi(2)/df (= 3 center dot 816), adjusted goodness-of-fit index (AGFI = 0 center dot 931), root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA = 0 center dot 082) and goodness-of-fit index (GFI = 0 center dot 852) fit indices. C-PFS-T total score's median value of obese group wasn't substantially different from normal weight group.Conclusions: It was concluded that the Turkish version of the C-PFS, which provides an assessment of the hedonic hunger status of children and adolescents with fifteen items and threesubdimensions, has sufficient reliability and validity to be applied to these subjects.Item Thyroid Function in Obese Children and Adolescents and its Relationships with Metabolic Parameters(2020) Korkmaz, OztemAim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate levels of free thyroxin (T4) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in obese children and adolescents, and to identify potential correlations between glucose and lipid metabolism parameters. Materials and Methods: One hundred obese patients aged 8-18 years were retrospectively evaluated in the pediatric endocrinology outpatient clinic. All participants' anthropometric measurements, free T4 and TSH concentrations, glucose levels and lipid profiles were recorded. Results: The mean age of the participants was 11.43 +/- 2.64 years. TSH levels exhibited significant positive correlation with fasting blood glucose and cholesterol levels. Multiple regression analysis showed that a one-unit increase in blood glucose and cholesterol raised TSH levels by 0.047 units and 0.012 units, respectively. Conclusion: The relationship between thyroid function and other metabolic risk factors in obese children is still unclear. Our findings are important in terms of showing that obesity may exert a central effect on thyroid function, before the emergence of any effects on insulin levels and anthropometric characteristics. A greater understanding of the association between thyroid function and obesity will be useful to the development of strategies aimed at preventing or treating childhood obesity.
