    Association of the Relationship Between Nutritional Status and Certain Biochemical Parameters in Obese Children
    (2021) Ozcelik-Ersu, Dilek; Kiziltan, Gul
    The prevalence of childhood obesity is increasing globally. Adiposity is more concentrated in subcutaneous tissue in women and visceral fat tissue in men. Abdominal obesity is more commonly associated with metabolic diseases in men. The results showed that the mean BMIz scores of boys was higher than girls, but total body fat was lower than girls. Total body fat free mass, water and muscle mass were higher in boys than girls. It was determined that children aged 10-17 years consumed fatty and sugary snacks and sugary drinks at school. Food consumption containing the carbohydrate, fat, saturated fat and cholesterol were higher in boys than girls. As a result, it was thought that it would be more beneficial and reliable to use anthropometric methods showing body composition together with BMI zscore while evaluating body weight in adolescents. While nutritional counseling, it may be beneficial to consider that the energy and nutrient requirements of male adolescent individuals and their daily food consumption are higher than girls. When the results of the study are evaluated, we mention that it would be appropriate to evaluate girls more carefully in terms of iron deficiency anemia and diseases such as insulin resistance and diabetes.

    Determination of anthropometric measurements in obstructive sleep apnea syndrome in Turkish population
    (2019) Savas Bozbas, Serife; 32050866
    Introduction: In this study, we aimed to determine the values of anthropometric measurements and rates used in the evaluation of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) in our country. Materials and Methods: Twenty accredited sleep centers in thirteen provinces participated in this multicenter prospective study. OSAS symptoms and polysomnographic examination and apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) >= 5 cases OSAS study group; patients with AHI <5 and STOP-Bang <2 were included as control group. Demographic characteristics (age, sex, body mass index-BMI) and anthropometric measurements (neck, waist and hip circumference, waist/hip ratio) of the subjects were recorded. Results: The study included 2684 patients (81.3% OSAS) with a mean age of 50.50 +/- 0.21 years from 20 centers. The cases were taken from six geographical regions of the country (Mediterranean, Eastern Anatolia, Aegean, Central Anatolia, Black Sea and Marmara Region). Demographic characteristics and anthropometric measurements; age, neck, waist, hip circumference and waist/hip ratios and BMI characteristics when compared with the control group; when compared according to regions, age, neck, waist, hip circumference and waist/hip ratios were found to be statistically different (p<0.001, p<0.001, p<0.05, respectively). When compared by sex, age, neck and hip circumference, waist/hip ratio, height, weight and BMI characteristics were statistically different (p<0.001, respectively). Neck circumference and waist/hip ratio were respectively 42.58 +/- 0.10 cm, 0.99 +/- 0.002, 39.24 +/- 0.16 cm, 0.93 +/- 0.004 were found in women. Conclusion: The neck circumference was lower than the standard value in men, but higher in women. The waist/hip ratio was above the ideal measurements in both men and women. In this context, the determination of the country values will allow the identification of patients with the possibility of OSAS and referral to sleep centers for polysomnography.
