    The effect of social media use on eating behaviors and physical activity among university students
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2023) Gunes, Musa; Demirer, Buesra
    AimThis cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the relationship between the duration of social media use time, eating disorders, and physical activity level in university students.Subjects and methodsA total of 562 university students between the ages of 18-29 were included in the study. Study data were collected through an online survey system, including the survey form, some sociodemographic information, social media use information, Eating Attitude Test-26 (EAT-26) scale, and International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form. The data were analyzed with the SPSS 27.0 statistical package program.ResultsThe mean duration of social media use of individuals (mean age 21.18 (2.04) years) participating in the study was 4.76 (3.34) hours/day. The participants' mean EAT-26 scale scores were 18.20 (13.73), and 37.5% of the individuals were at risk of eating disorders according to the cut-off score. At the same time, the physical activity levels of the individuals were low at 44.8%, moderate at 35.8%, and high at 19.4%. A very weak positive correlation was found between the duration of social media use and sedentariness (r = 0.174; p < 0.001).ConclusionThe study data shows that as the duration of social media use increases, the sedentary behaviors of individuals increase, and using social media accounts with visual content is associated with the risk of eating disorders. Considering these results, it is thought that to prevent unconscious social media use, education/seminars should be given to different age groups, including appropriate body image, healthy nutrition, and physical activity recommendations.

    Is There an Effect of Caffeine Intake, Physical Activity, and Internet Addiction on Headache Severity in University Students?
    (Springer, 2023) Demirer, Buesra; Guenes, Musa
    Headache is a widespread multifactorial pathology, especially in the university student. Understanding these factors is essential for understanding headaches' primary and secondary causes and applying the proper treatment. This cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate the effects of university students' (n = 657, F 527, M 120) caffeine intake, physical activity levels, and internet addictions (IA) on headache severity. The amount of caffeine intake of the participants, headache severity, IA with the Young Internet Addiction Test (YIAT), and physical activity levels were determined. A one-unit increase in the daily average caffeine intake of students is 1.21 times the risk of experiencing severe headache (OR 1.216, 95% Cl 1.447-1.022, p = 0.027), and an increase of 1 point in the YIAT score is 1.98 times the risk of experiencing severe headache (OR 1.983, 95% Cl 1.624-2.421, p < 0.001). No significant correlation was found between the physical activity MET scores of the individuals and the severity of headaches (p = 0.632). These results suggest that adding questions about dietary habits, caffeine intake, and IA in the anamnesis for headaches will be important for understanding the secondary causes.
