    The predictive role of eating disorders and physical activity in findrisc diabetes risk: the sample of nutrition and dietetics students
    (Pontificia Universidade Catolica Campinas, 2024-06) Hamurcu, Pınar; Batar, Nazlı; 256218
    Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of eating disorder risk and physical activity level on diabetes risk in students enrolled in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics. Methods This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted with 313 students enrolled in the Department of Nutrition and Dietetics at a private foundation university during the academic year of 2021-2022. Data was collected through face-to-face interviews using the Information Form, International Physical Activity Questionnaire, SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale, and Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire. The data was analyzed using IBM®SPSS® v.26 statistical software. Results Among the Nutrition and Dietetics students, 91.1% were female, mean age was 21.42±3.62 years, and mean body mass ındex was 21.72±3.25 kg/m2. According to International Physical Activity Questionnaire assessment, 8.9% of the students were categorized as inactive. The SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale assessment revealed that 25.6% of the students were at risk of developing an eating disorder. The Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire assessment indicated that 90.7% of the students had a low to slight risk of diabetes. The results of the correlation analysis showed that as International Physical Activity Questionnaire scores increased, Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire scores decreased by 16.8% (p=0.003), and as SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale scores increased, Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire scores also increased by 28% (p<0.001). The results of the multiple regression analysis showed that International Physical Activity Questionnaire significantly predicted Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire score, accounting for 3.8% of the variance, while SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale predicted Finnish Type-2 Diabetes Risk Questionnaire score, accounting for 8% of the variance (p<0.001). Conclusion The findings of this study suggest that physical activity level and susceptibility to eating disorders have a significant effect on the development of diabetes mellitus.

    The role of chronotype, sleep quality, and physical activity in food cravings: a crosssectional study
    (BMC, 2025-07) Tuna, Tuğba; Karaca Çelik, Kezban Esen; Çelik Kayapınar, Fatma; 336342
    Introduction Food cravings contribute to unhealthy eating behaviors, increased energy intake, and metabolic disturbances. However, the interplay between chronotype, sleep quality, and physical activity in shaping food cravings remains unclear. This study explores these associations in adults attending fitness centers. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted with 201 participants (80 females, 121 males) aged 19–64 years in İzmir, Türkiye. Validated tools, including the Food Craving Questionnaire-Trait (FCQ-T), Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), were used to assess food cravings, chronotype, and sleep quality, respectively. Results Regular physical activity was significantly associated with lower FCQ-T scores (p < 0.05). Poor sleep quality was linked to higher food craving levels (p < 0.05). Evening chronotypes showed higher food craving scores than morning types, though this was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). However, evening chronotypes exhibited significantly poorer sleep quality (higher PSQI scores) compared to morning types (p < 0.05). Conclusion This cross-sectional study suggests that regular physical activity and good sleep quality may be associated with lower food craving levels. Although chronotype differences were observed, further research is needed to clarify the underlying mechanisms. Given the limitations of the study design and potential selection bias, causal interpretations should be approached with caution. Nevertheless, interventions focusing on improving sleep and promoting physical activity may help reduce unhealthy eating tendencies in similar populations.
