- ItemDetermining the effect of diet quality on nutritional status and type 2 diabetes risk in adult females(Bayrakol Medical Publishing, 2024-10) Uray, Ecem Özge; Batar, Nazlı; Tuna Tuğba; 256218; 336342Aim: This study aimed to determine the effect of diet quality on nutritional status and type 2 diabetes risk in adult females. Material and Method: This study was conducted between January and March 2022 with the participation of 120 adult females who applied to Özel Maltepe Ersoy Hospital, Nutrition, and Diet Polyclinic for body weight control. The researchers recorded participant information form, IPAQ-SF, 24-hour retrospective food consumption record form, and FINDRISK data through face-to-face interviews. NAR and MAR scores were used to determine the diet quality of individuals. Results: It was determined that as body weight, BMI, waist circumference, waist-height ratio, neck circumference, body fat percentage, and fat mass values increased, the diabetes risk scores of individuals increased (p<0.05). It was determined that decreasing lean body mass and percentage increased the risk of diabetes (p<0.05). Biochemical parameters FBG, Insulin, HOMA-IR, TC, LDL-C, and TG values were found to be higher in individuals with high and very high diabetes risk compared to other individuals (p<0.05). It was determined that the risk of diabetes decreased as the physical activity levels of individuals increased (p<0.05). Diabetes risk score, and it was determined that there was no correlation between the biochemical parameters (p>0.05). Discussion: It has been determined that individuals’ anthropometric values, body composition, and physical activity level are important factors in the risk of diabetes. Appropriate health policies should be developed considering this situation.
- ItemObesity and Obesity-Related Hypertension in Northern Cyprus: Findings from a Population-Based Cross-Sectional Study(Galenos, 2026-02) Berksel, Ersan; Özduran, Gülşen; 229345BACKGROUND/AIMS Obesity constitutes a chronic and multifactorial condition characterized by an excessive accumulation of adipose tissue and is linked to a wide range of comorbidities, including hypertension (HT). Its predominant cause is the disparity between caloric intake and the body’s energy utilization. As obesity rates persistently rise, the incidence of obesity-related conditions, particularly HT, is expected to increase. This study estimated the prevalence of general and abdominal obesity (AO) and obesity-related HT among adults in Northern Cyprus. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional observational study, data were collected between October 2023 and June 2024 from Turkish Cypriot adults aged 18-79 years residing in Northern Cyprus. RESULTS The population-level prevalences of general obesity, AO, and excess weight were 26.2%, 46.9%, and 63.2%, respectively. Obesity prevalence was higher in males (29.7%) than in females (23.1%), and excess weight affected 74.3% of males and 53.2% of females. AO was also more prevalent among males (49.6%) than among females (44.4%). The population-level prevalence of HT was 34.6% (36.1% in males, 33.1% in females). Among individuals with HT, 76.9% had obesity-related HT (77.6% among males and 76.1% among females). CONCLUSION Obesity and its associated HT are highly prevalent among adults in Northern Cyprus. With rising obesity rates, the burden of obesity-related conditions is likely to increase. Prevention strategies, alongside lifestyle interventions, anti-obesity pharmacotherapy, and metabolic surgery when appropriate, are essential for long-term control of weight and blood pressure.
- ItemThe 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; 256218Objective 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.
