(Churchill Livingstone, 2020) Garipağaoğlu Denizhan, Muazzez; Garipagaoglu, Muazzez; Bicer, H. Selcen; Kurtulus, Duygu; Ozturk, Mustafa; Gunes, F. Esra; Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü
Background & aims: Nutrition is one of the most important environmental factors affecting the formation of osteopenia. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of dietary changes on bone formation and bone resorption markers of postmenopausal women with vertebral osteopenia. Methods: In this study, 108 women with postmenopausal vertebral osteopenia were included. Patients were observed for a month to identify their regular nutritional status. Before intervention, blood and urine samples were taken from all patients. Then, 2-day food consumption records were taken and the patients were divided into 4 groups. Different types of diets (opposite of their regular diets) were prepared for these groups (1: control, 2: reduced-carbohydrate, 3: reduced-protein, 4: reduced-sodium) and followed for 3 months. At the end of follow-ups, blood and urine samples were taken again and changes in osteocalcin (OC) and N-terminal telopeptide (NTX) levels were examined. Results: According to biochemical analysis, there was a significant decrease (p < 0,001) in OC levels in reduced protein group and an increase (p > 0,05) in reduced carbohydrate group. When NTX levels were assessed, a significant decrease (p < 0.001) in the reduced carbohydrate group and a significant increase in the reduced protein group (p < 0.05) were found. Conclusion: Our findings show that reduced carbohydrate diet protected whereas, reduced protein diet negatively affected bone health. Osteopenic individuals were thought to be able to improve bone health and their quality of life by early dietary intervention.

(Istanbul Univ, 2022) Garipağaoğlu Denizhan, Muazzez; Simsek, Tugce; Garipagaoglu, Muazzez; Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü
Objective: The study was conducted to evaluate growth in children aged 1-2 years. Methods: In this study conducted with 302 children and their mothers, data on children and their families were obtained using a questionnaire. Z-scores were determined by measuring the weight and height of the children, and these were compared with percentile curves developed for Turkish children. Energy and macronutrient consumption were determined by taking a daily food consumption record for each child. Results: The average age, birth weight and height of children were 18.6 +/- 3.2 months, 3.2 +/- 0.5 kg and 50.0 +/- 2.3 cm, respectively. Their current weight and height were determined as 11.4 +/- 1.6 kg and 80.6 +/- 6.5 cm. It was observed that 85.6% of the children had normal body weight, 69.5% normal BMI and 56.2% normal height z score. It has been determined that body weight and height z-scores are higher in girls compared to boys (22.1%, 32.6% and 24.7% respectively in + 2SD). Body weights of children with high monthly income were also found to be significantly higher (15.6% in + 2SD, p=0.038). Conclusions: It has been concluded that the standards, gender and the economic status of the family in this age period are effective on childrens' growth.

Factors in Bread Preference: a Cross-Sectional Study of the Comparison of Anthropometric Measurements and Macronutrient Differences According To Bread Type Preferences
(Addis Ababa Univ, dept Community Health, 2022) Garipağaoğlu Denizhan, Muazzez; Garipagaoglu, Muazzez; Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü
Background: Bread is one of the most consumed foods by humankind throughout history. It is important to evaluate the factors affecting the food preferences of individuals and to examine the effect of frequently consumed food on anthropometric measurements and daily energy and macronutrient intake in order to improve public health and develop nutrition policies of society.Objective: The aim of the current study was two-fold: (1) to determine the factors affecting the bread type preferences of individuals (2) to compare anthropometric measurements and macronutrient differences according to bread type preferences.Methods: The study was conducted cross-sectional from January to October 2018 with randomly selected 1554 volunteer individuals aged between 18-65 years in Istanbul Province of Turkey. The data of the study were collected through a questionnaire form applied by the face-to-face interview method. Demographic information, anthropometric measurements, the most consumed bread types, and dietary records were examined in the questionnaire form.Results: It was determined that the preference for white bread was high (%66.3). White bread and whole-grain bread were consumed 159.4 & PLUSMN;94 g/day and 131.2 & PLUSMN;89.2 g/day, respectively. BMI and waist circumference were lower, while the difference was not significant. It was determined that the group who preferred whole-grain bread had fewer carbohydrates, higher fiber, higher protein, higher fat, higher saturated fat, and higher cholesterol intakes in their daily diets. Women, having high education status and old-age popularity increased the preference of whole-grain bread 1.73, 3.39, and 1.03 times compared to the preference of white bread (p < 0.001).Conclusion: It has been determined that white bread is preferred more in society. Bread type preference was not associated with anthropometric measurements. It has been determined that the distribution of daily macronutrients of individuals who prefer whole-grain bread is more unbalanced. It was found that gender, educational status, and age were the factors affecting the preference of bread type.

(Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2021) Garipağaoğlu Denizhan, Muazzez; Garipagaoglu, Muazzez; Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü
Background: Burns are defined as injuries resulting from exposure to thermal radiation, electrical or chemical exposure of the skin or organic tissues. It has high mortality and morbidity in low and middle-income countries. Objective/Methods: The objective of this study is to evaluate the present knowledge principles of nutritional therapy for pediatric burns from the dietician's perspective, taking into account the epidemiology and physiology of the burn. The purpose of burn treatment is to provide survival and tissue repair and to increase immunity. Therefore, besides fluid electrolyte replacement and surgical interventions, nutritional therapy is quite important. Nutrition principles should aim to reduce inflammation and meet hypermetabolic needs. Results: In the clinical practice of children suffering from burns, daily energy need is calculated by adding the recommended energy expenditure to the burn percentage, but the most accurate method is the use of indirect calorimetry. Protein requirement is around 1.5-3.0 g/kg/day. Carbohydrate intake should be 55-60% of total energy intake, while lipids should be less than 30%. Vitamin supplements in the form of a multivitamin are recommended in addition to vitamin A, vitamin C, and Zinc. In cases where oral intake is insufficient, enteral nutrition should be applied as soon as possible. When enteral feeding is contraindicated, parenteral nutrition is preferred. Conclusion: Evaluating the nutritional status of children and meeting macro and micronutrient needs accelerate wound healing, shorten hospital stay, and reduce mortality.

(Ibn Sina Trust, 2023) Garipağaoğlu Denizhan, Muazzez; Garipagaoglu, Muazzez; Ekinci, Ozalp; Kanik, Arzu; Gultekin, Fatih; Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü
Objective: Due to their prone to obesity and unbalanced nutrient intake this study was carried out to evaluate the daily energy and nutrient intake and obesity status of children and adolescents with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Methods: The study was conducted on a total of 390 children (169 ADHD and 221 control groups) between the ages of 6-17 years. Body weight and height were measured and height-for-age-z-score (HAZ), weight-for-age-z-score (WAZ) and BMI-z-score (BMIZ) were calculated. 24-hour dietary recalls of the participants were recorded, and energy and nutrients intake were analysed. The ratio of meeting daily energy and nutrients adequacy according to age and gender was calculated. Results: The HAZ values of the children with a mean age of 10 +/- 2 years were within the normal range in most of both groups. The ratio of overweight-obese children was 43.8% in the ADHD group and 39.8% in the control group, respectively. The ratio of energy from fat was high in both groups (ADHD: 39%, control: 41%) (p <0.05). It was found that folic acid and thiamine were sufficient in both groups, pyridoxine was consumed in borderline excess, other vitamins were consumed in excess. All minerals except sodium were sufficient and sodium was consumed more. Folic acid and water consumption were found to be less in children with ADHD (p <0.05). Conclusion: Overweight and obese rates are common among children and adolescents with ADHD, and their eating habits are similar to those of their healthy peers.

Types of Bread Preferred by Adult Individuals and Bread's Place in Daily Nutrition
(Mattioli 1885, 2021) Garipağaoğlu Denizhan, Muazzez; Sadik, Merve; Garipagaoglu, Muazzez; Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü
Bread, one of the most consumed food by humankind throughout history, has a global importance in nutrition. The common belief in recent years that bread is fattening and is harmful to health causes bread to be excluded from daily nutrition. This study aims to determine the individuals' bread preferences and the contribution of the bread consumed to daily nutrition. It was carried out in Turkey with 1766 volunteer participants aged between 18-65 years. The data were collected with a questionnaire form applied by face-to-face interview method. In order to determine the nutritional status, 2-day food consumption records were kept. The body mass index average of individuals was 26.4 +/- 8.25 kg/m(2). The waist circumference averages of male and female participants were found as 97.8 +/- 12.97 cm, 91.1 +/- 16.13 cm, respectively. It was found that the most consumed bread was white bread (87.3%), followed by whole-grain bread (40.8%). It has been found that the consumption of whole grain bread is higher in women compared to men. Female participants' whole-grain bread consumption was found to be higher than male participants, while male participants' cornbread consumption was higher than female participants (p<0.00 and p=0.026). It was found that male participants consume 182.3 +/- 105.07 g of bread per day, while females 124.5 +/- 78.11 g. It was observed that bread constitutes 27.1% of total daily energy intake in male participants, while 22.1% in females and this difference was found statistically significant (p<0.001). These results reveal that bread is the main ingredient in nutrition for Turkish society. The type of bread, which makes up the majority of carbohydrates, is as important as the amount. It is thought that training on healthy consumption of bread at the national level, and national and public service announcements and government-backed activities can positively change the bread consumption habits of individuals.

Vegetable and Fruit Consumption and Its Relationship With Body Mass Index in Adults: a Cross-Sectional and Seasonal Research From Turkiye
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Garipağaoğlu Denizhan, Muazzez; Saleki, Neda; Sezer, Fatma Elif; Yoldas-Ilktac, Havvanur; Akman, Cansu; Ersoy, Gulgun; Garipagaoglu, Muazzez; Beslenme ve Diyetetik Bölümü
This study examines the relationship between fruit and vegetable consumption and the BMI in Turkiye. In this cross-sectional study, which 6332 adults were included, fruit and vegetable consumption, and preferences were collected. The quantities of vegetables and fruits were classified based on the WHO and the national recommendations. Of the adults (33.39 +/- 12.59 years), 52.9% of men and 39.7% of women had an above-normal BMI. Based on WHO recommendations, overweight and obese people consumed less vegetables and fruits compared to their counterparts (ORs for women, overweight: 1.2, obese: 1.3; ORs for men, overweight: 1.3, obese: 1.5; 95% CI). The regression analysis revealed that the quantities of vegetable and fruit intake were higher in young individuals, men, and married people. Although the majority consume more than 400 g/day of vegetables and fruits, the intake is inadequate in people with obesity.
