    Determination of obesity, stunting, and nutritional habits in disabled children and adolescents
    (Mattioli 1885, 2018) Kilinc, Fatma Nisanci; Cakir, Biriz; Ekici, Merve; Ozenir, Ciler
    Objective: This study was conducted to determine obesity, stunting and nutritional habits in children and adolescents with disabilities. Methods: The study was carried out in 612 disabled children and adolescents in a 2-19 age group enrolled in 8 special education practice and rehabilitation institutions in Kirikkale city center in Turkey. The general characteristics and eating habits of the participants were examined and body mass indexes (BMI) were calculated (n=527) to determine obesity and stunting. Results: Of the participants (n=612), 39.2% were female and 60.8% were male, of whom 39.4% were mentally disabled, 37.1% were physically disabled, 12.3% were mentally and physically disabled, and 11.3% were suffering other types of disabilities (speech disorders, learning disability, etc.). Of the participants (n=527), 18.8% were overweight and 17.8% were obese. The rate of overweight (Male:18.5%, Female:19.2%) and obesity (Male:19.1%, Female:15.9%) was higher in males compared to females (p>0.05). The correlation between BMI classification and disability type, disability level, and income level was not statistically significant (p>0.05). The rate of stunting was 24.5%, which was lower in males compared to females (Male: 20.4%, Female: 30.8%) (p>0.05). There was no statistically significant difference between height-for-age classifications and the type of disability (p>0.05); however, the difference between disability level and income level was significant (p<0.05). It was observed that 50.0% of the participants had eating problems and 45.5% had the habit of skipping breakfasts. Conclusion: In this study, it was observed that overweight, obesity, and stunting are very high in disabled children and adolescents. This field warrants further research.

    The effect of acute L-arginine supplementation on repeated sprint ability performance
    (Mattioli 1885, 2019) Birol, Abdulkadir; Kilinc, Fatma Nisanci; Deliceoglu, Gokhan; Keskin, Esra Dilek
    Aim: The aim of this study is to determine the effect of acute L-arginine supplementation on repeated sprint ability performance in football players aged between 18-21 years. Methods: The study was conducted on 20 volunteer healthy male football players playing in the under-21 football team in the 1st league of Turkey. General characteristics of football players were questioned and their anthropometric measurements were taken. The study was performed as a double-blind placebo-controlled design. Players were randomly given 0.15 g/kg/day relative dosage L-arginine or placebo with 500 ml of water 1 hour before repeated sprint ability test (RSAT). The 12x20m RSAT protocol was applied in the synthetic turf football field with a recovery interval of 30 seconds between each sprint and the photocell system was used to determine running time. Results: The mean age of the arginine group is 18.30 +/- 0.48 years and the mean age of placebo group is 18.33 +/- 0.50 years. 85% of the players never used L-arginine, and any dietary supplements. Only the ninth sprint time of the 12 sprints performed after the supplementation was 5.24% faster than the placebo group in the arginine group (p<0.05). However, no difference was detected between the groups in terms of sprint decrement score, total sprint time, blood pressure and heart rate (HR) (p>0.05). Conclusion: In this study, the supplementation of acute L-arginine administered to players had no significant effect on HR, blood pressure and RSAT total sprint time and sprint decrement score.

    Evaluation of obesity in university students with neck circumference and determination of emotional appetite
    (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.

    Evaluation of the Relation between Compliance with Mediterranean Diet and Quality of Life of Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Kudret, Meltem; Kilinc, Fatma Nisanci; Karahan, Sevilay
    The study was conducted to evaluate the relationship between compliance of Type 2 Diabetes patients with the Mediterranean Diet and their quality of life. A total of 200 patients admitted to TRNC Famagusta State Hospital Internal Medicine Clinic, diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, between the ages of 30-65 were included in the study. Patients filled out questionnaires that included data on demographic characteristics along with a 14-item MEDAS questionnaire, and SF-36 Quality of Life Scale. A total of 45% of patients were male, 55% female, mean age was 55 +/- 8.28, and 65.6% of males and 49.1% of females complied moderately with the Mediterranean Diet (MEDAS score 6-9). According to the physical and mental indicator score, the quality of life of patients was moderate, and a strong relation was detected between gender and quality of life (p < 0.001). The scores of the quality of life of males were higher than those of females. Men and women who had moderate compliance with the Mediterranean Diet had higher physical function scores than those who had low compliance. The quality of life can be increased with regular training on the importance of dietary compliance because of the positive effects of the Mediterranean Diet on health.

    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.

    Reliability and Validity Study of the Turkish Version of Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale for Healthy Behaviors
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2018) Albayrak, Sevil; Cakir, Biriz; Kilinc, Fatma Nisanci; Vergili, Ozge; Erdem, Yurdagul
    Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate adaptation, validity, and reliability of the Turkish version of the Child and Adolescent Social Support Scale for Healthy Behaviors (CASSS-HB). Methods: The CASSS-HB was translated using translation and back-translation. This was a methodological study conducted with 860 students (11-14 years old). Content and construct validity were assessed to test the validity of the CASSS-HB. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis of the scale was performed and the reliability of the scale over time (the test-retest method) was examined. Results: Psychometric analyses of the Turkish version of the CASSS-HB indicate high reliability and good content and construct validity. Conclusions: It can be seen that the items comprising the scale appear to be acceptably capable of measuring the variable of social support in terms of healthy behavior in children and adolescents. Healthcare professionals can thus use the scale for determining the degree of social support students of the ages 11-14 receive in terms of developing healthy behavior.
