    (Mattioli 1885, 2019) Kilinc, Fatma Nisanci; Cakir, Biriz; Durmaz, Sevinc Eser; Ozenir, Ciler; Ekici, Emine Merve
    Objective: In this study, it was aimed to evaluate obesity in university students with neck circumference and other anthropometric measurements and to determine their emotional appetite. Method: The study was conducted within the scope of Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit of Kirikkale University in June-December 2017 in June-December 2017 term and 4873 students were reached. A questionnaire consisting of descriptive information and emotional appetite scale was applied to students and their obesity status were determined by taking anthropometric measurements. Results: Students consist of 56.3% females and 43.7% males. Mean body mass index (BMI) is 23.62 +/- 3.03 kg/m(2) in males and 21.66 +/- 3.08 kg/m(2) in females (p<0.001). Mean neck circumference is 37.50 +/- 2.49 cm in males and 32.18 +/- 3.51 cm in females (p<0.001). According to student's BMI, 18.5% are overweight and obese, to neck circumference 36.6% are obese, and to waist circumference 22.4% are in the risk and high-risk group. 65.8% of males and 19.4% of females are obese according to neck circumference (p<0.001). Waist circumference/height ratio of males is 0.478 +/- 0.054 while that of females is 0.452 +/- 0.053. Central obesity was observed in 30.2% of males and 16.3% of females (p<0.001). A positive correlation was found between body weight, BMI, waist circumference, wrist circumference, waist/height ratio and neck circumference. Emotional appetite status of students and values of total positive scores are different from others in at least one of BMI groups (chi(2) =14.503; p=0.002). Total positive scores of thin students are higher than those who are overweight and obese (p<0.001). Total score in negative emotions/conditions is high in students who are obese according to neck circumference (Z=4.539; p<0.001). In negative and positive emotions/conditions, median score of total emotional appetite scale of males is higher than that of females (p<0.001). Conclusion: According to neck circumference, it is determined that obesity more common in males than females, males' appetites increase more than females' in positive and negative situations, and overweight and obese students exhibit more eating behaviour when they experience negative emotions.

    İnsülin Direnci, Beslenme ve Yağlı Yeme İsteği ile CD36 Reseptörü İlişkisi
    (2017) Ünal, Reyhan Nergiz; Ekici, Emine Merve
    Global olarak beslenme gibi yaşam tarzındaki hızlı değişim ile birlikte insülin direnci ve diyabet prevalansı hızla artış göstermiş ve günümüzde Tip II diabetes mellitus (Tip II DM) epidemik bir sorun haline gelmiştir. Yaşam tarzı müdahalelerinden en önemlisi olan diyetin düzenlenmesi ise tip II DM'nin ortaya çıkmasının engellenmesinde, geciktirilmesinde, komplikasyonların oluşmasında ve önlenmesinde önemli bir role sahiptir. Son yıllarda yapılan çalışmalarda Tip II DM gelişimine neden olan patolojik faktörler arasında yer alan insülin aktivitesi ve insülin sekresyonunun diyabet nedenini belirlemek açısından tek başına yetersiz kaldığı ele alınmaktadır. Buna ek olarak diyabet etiyolojisinde multi-faktöriyel nedenlerin, insülinin yanı sıra farklı reseptörlerin yer aldığı ve bu durumu genetik çalışmaların desteklediği bilinmektedir. Bu reseptörlerden biri olan CD36 reseptörü ise, kardiyovasküler sağlık ve hastalıklar, kanser, diyabet, insülin direnci, tat alma duyusu ve besin seçiminde önemli rol oynamaktadır. Yapılan çalışmalarda yüksek kan CD36 düzeylerinin tip II DM patogenezinde yeni bir belirteç olarak katkı sağlayabileceği yer almaktadır. Ayrıca güncel veriler CD36 reseptörünün yağlı besin seçimi açısından farklı tat ve kokularda görev alabildiğini göstermektedir. Bu derlemede CD36 reseptörü ile insülin direnci ve diyette yağlı besin seçimi arasında ilişki incelenmiştir

    The relationship between sleep duration, sleep quality and dietary intake in adults
    (SPRINGER JAPAN KK, 2020) Cakir, Biriz; Kilinc, Fatma Nisanci; Uyar, Gizem Ozata; Ozenir, Ciler; Ekici, Emine Merve; Karaismailoglu, Eda
    To determine the relationship of specific macro- and micro-nutrients and food groups with sleep duration and sleep quality in adults. This cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 2446 adults aged between 20 and 64 years in Turkey. The participants' socio-demographic characteristics, anthropometric measurements, and dietary intake (24-h recall) were taken. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index was used to assess sleep quality. In the study, 48.9% of the participants were male and 51.1% were female, with an average age of 38.7 +/- 12.70 years. Total protein, meat, and processed meat product consumption rates of long sleepers were found to be lower than those of normal sleepers (p < 0.05). Saturated fat intake of short sleepers was higher than that of long sleepers (p < 0.018). Participants with good sleep quality were found to consume higher carbohydrate, fiber, beta-carotene, vitamin E, thiamine, vitamin B-6, total folate, vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron compared to those with poor sleep quality (p < 0.05). When examined in terms of food groups, fruit consumption was higher in individuals with good sleep quality compared to those with poor sleep quality (p < 0.05). In this study, some macro- and micro-nutrients of the diet were found correlated with sleep duration and quality. Mechanisms mediating the relationship between sleep duration and dietary intake are multi-factorial. Because of the differences in appetite-related hormones, such as leptin and ghrelin, and hedonic factors, future studies will benefit from assessing sleep duration/quality and dietary intake.
