    The effect of orthorexia nervosa on food label reading habits among university students
    (Springer, 2022) Yardimci, Hulya; Demirer, Busra
    Purpose This observational cross-sectional study aimed to evaluate university students' food label reading habits with and without orthorexia nervosa (ON) tendency. Methods Data were collected online with a questionnaire. The questionnaire form included sociodemographic variables, the ORTO-11 scale, the reading frequency of some components on the food label, and the evaluation of some opinions about the food label. The obtained data were evaluated with SPSS 25.0 statistical package program and GraphPad Prism program. Results A total of 674 university students (mean age: 21.03 +/- 2.43 years), 537 women (79.7%) and 137 men (20.3%) were included in the study. It was determined that individuals with ON tendency read some nutrients, content information, serving size, health information, instructions for use, additives and brand more frequently compared to individuals without ON tendency (p < 0.05). At the same time, it was determined that individuals with ON tendency were more likely to agree with the idea that reading food labels is important for a healthy diet, compared to individuals with normal eating behavior (p < 0.001). Conclusion The study findings show that individuals with ON tendency have a higher habits of reading food labels compared to individuals with normal eating behavior. To reach a decision on this issue and to determine the diagnostic criteria for ON, future studies should be conducted on different groups and samples with higher participation, as well as studies using different screening tools to determine the tendency for ON.

    Inflammation level in type 2 diabetes is associated with dietary advanced glycation end products, Mediterranean diet adherence and oxidative balance score: A pathway analysis
    (Elsevier Science Inc, 2023) Demirer, Busra; Yardimci, Hulya; Basmaz, Seda Erem
    Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of dietary advanced glycation end products (dAGE) intake, Mediterranean diet adherence screener (MEDAS), and oxidative balance score (OBS) on inflammation among individuals with type 2 diabetes. Methods: The study was conducted with 96 adults (aged between 32 and 64 years) with type 2 diabetes. The average daily dAGE intakes, energy and macronutrient intakes of the participants were taken with the three-day food consumption recording method. OBS and MEDAS score was used. At the same time, routine blood lipids, HbA1c, fasting blood glucose and inflammation marker C-reactive protein (CRP) were measured. Results: Dietary AGE intake was associated with fasting blood glucose, HbA1c, CRP and blood pressures (p < 0.01). The relationship between OBS and dAGE intake was significant (8 = -0.36; 95 % Cl = -0.500, -0.220; p < 0.001). MEDAS has a negative and statistically significant effect on dAGE intake (8 = -0.56; 95 % Cl = -0.696, -0.444; p < 0.001). There was a significant and positive effect of dAGE on CRP when other variables (MEDAS, OBS) affecting dAGE were also included in the analysis (8 = 0.79; 95 % CI = 0.664, 0.917; p < 0.001). Conclusions: Our findings may have important implications for explaining the development of inflammation in type 2 diabetes patients with high dAGE intake.

    Is high adaptation to the Mediterranean diet effective in increasing ecological footprint awareness? A cross-sectional study from Turkey
    (Wiley, 2022) Yardimci, Hulya; Demirer, Busra
    BACKGROUND The effect of diet type on sustainable environment is known. It is important to understand the adaptation of individuals with high ecological footprint awareness to the Mediterranean type diet, especially under the assumption that the Mediterranean diet will reduce the ecological footprint. In the study, it is aimed to examine the relationship between the level of adherence to the Mediterranean diet and Ecological Footprint awareness of adults. RESULTS The sample of the study consisted of 395 individuals with a mean age of 26.2 +/- 8.7 years: 293 females (74.2%) and 102 males (25.8%). As the Mediterranean Diet Adherence Scale (MDAS) score of individuals increased, the Ecological Footprint Awareness Scale score also increased. Similarly, a positive correlation was found between the participants' MDAS score and the awareness of food (r = 0.157; P = 0.002), energy (r = 0.133; P = 0.008), waste (r = 0.149; P = 0.003) and water consumption (r = 0.101; P = 0.045), which are sub-factors of the Ecological Footprint Awareness Scale. CONCLUSION As far as is known, this cross-sectional study is one of the first studies on compliance with the Mediterranean diet and awareness of the ecological footprint. The findings of the study show that as individuals' compliance with the Mediterranean diet increases, their awareness of their ecological footprint will also increase. To reach a conclusion on this issue, future studies should evaluate the relationship between adherence to the Mediterranean diet and awareness of food-environmental impact on different samples.

    Is mindful eating higher in individuals with orthorexia nervosa?: a cross-sectional study
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2024) Demirer, Busra; Yardimci, Hulya
    AimThe present study aimed to investigate the relationship between mindful eating and orthorexia nervosa (ON) among adults and contribute to establishing ON diagnostic criteria.Subject and methodsIn the current cross-sectional study, 105 women and 92 men (aged 19-64 years) were enrolled whose scores on the Orthorexia Nervosa Questionnaire-15 (ORTO-15), the Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26), and SCOFF scales indicated a prevalence of ON and eating disorder risk. In addition, the Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ) was applied to participants to determine mindful eating. Descriptive and inferential statistics were computed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25.ResultsIn participants with ON, the scores of emotional eating and conscious eating scores, which are MEQ sub-factors, and the total score of MEQ are higher than those who do not have ON (p < 0.05). There was a negative correlation between MEQ and ORTO-15 scores (r = -0.269; p < 0.01). In addition, the one-point increase in the ORTO-15 scores of the participants led to 0.094 decrease in MEQ scores (B = -0.094; SE = 0.021; p < 0.001) and 0.175 decrease in EAT-26 scores (B = -0.175; SE = 0.033; p < 0.001).ConclusionsThe data obtained from our study show that mindful eating of individuals with ON is higher than those who do not have ON, and this is important in determining the diagnostic criteria of ON.

    Nutritional literacy levels of university academic and administrative staff: A cross-sectional study from Turkey
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2023) Demirer, Busra; Yardimci, Hulya
    Aim This study aimed to evaluate the nutritional literacy levels of university academic and administrative staff. Methods Data were collected with a questionnaire including sociodemographic variables, some eating habits, and the Nutritional Literacy Assessment Tool of Adults. A total of 413 individuals, 211 women (51.1%) and 202 men (48.9%), aged 23-64 (mean: 37.41 +/- 10.04 years), were included in the study. The data obtained were evaluated with the SPSS 25.0 statistical package program. Results It was found that the nutritional literacy level of 18.15% of the participants is at the borderline, 81.85 are sufficient. Women's nutrition literacy scores are significantly higher than men's (p = 0.034). A significant relationship was found between nutritional literacy, socioeconomic status, and some eating habits (p < 0.05). The average daily water consumption of individuals with sufficient nutritional literacy is statistically significantly higher than those with borderline nutritional literacy (p < 0.001). It was determined that individuals with borderline nutritional literacy skipped meals more frequently (p < 0.05). Conclusion The present study suggests that nutritional literacy may be effective in developing healthy eating behaviors. The study's results can guide the determination of methods that will improve nutritional literacy and increase awareness in the future.
