Article Beyond Age: Understanding How Mindful Eating and Food Label Reading Shape Generational Differences in Health Outcomes – A Cross-Sectional Study(BMC, 2025) Altinok, Oyku; Yalcin, Bahar; Deniz, Melike Seyma; Celikayar, Melike Nur; Sevdin, Sezen; Bingul, Bengi Cetiner; Garipagaoglu, MuazzezBackgroundThe increasing prevalence of obesity and diet-related chronic diseases poses a considerable threat to public health. Consequently, understanding generational differences in dietary behaviors has gained growing importance. This study aims to examine the direct and indirect effects of generational cohort on anthropometric indicators and self-rated diet quality (SRDQ), mediated through mindful eating and food label reading attitudes.MethodThis cross-sectional design study involved 2725 participants from Generations X (n = 786), Y (n = 933), and Z (n = 1006) living in Istanbul, T & uuml;rkiye. Participants' sociodemographic characteristics and anthropometric measurements, including body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist-hip ratio (WHR), were recorded. Data on SRDQ were collected, alongside responses to the Mindful Eating Questionnaire and the Food Label Reading Attitude Scale. Descriptive statistics, one-way analysis of variance, and chi-square tests were applied to the data. The direct and indirect effects of generation groups were analyzed using structural equation modeling.ResultsIncreasing mindful eating scores were associated with higher label reading attitude and SRDQ scores, while they were related to lower anthropometric risk indicators. Higher label reading attitudes showed an association with reduced WHR and increased SRDQ. Generation Z participants reported significantly lower scores for mindful eating, label reading attitude, anthropometric measures, and SRDQ than Generation X participants. Lower mindful eating scores were related to increased BMI among Generation Z, whereas lower label reading attitude scores were positively associated with WC and WHR. Furthermore, poor mindful eating and label reading attitudes and the combined effects of low mindful eating and label reading attitudes were linked to lower SRDQ.ConclusionPoor mindful eating and label reading attitudes in Generation Z may threaten long-term health sustainability and increase the risk of developing chronic diseases. Combining generation-specific public health strategies with interventions aimed at improving nutritional literacy and mindful eating habits from an early age could enhance individual and societal health outcomes.Article Evaluation of Growth in Children Aged One- Two Years: a Cross- Sectional Study(Istanbul Univ, 2022) Guldemir, Hilal Hizli; Simsek, Tugce; Garipagaoglu, MuazzezObjective: 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.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 1Consumption and Preferences of Fruits and Vegetables in Turkish Adults(Cambridge Univ Press, 2020) Guldemir, Hilal Hizli; Yousefirad, Neda; Akman, Cansu; Sezer, Fatma Elif; Ilktac, Havvanur Yoldas; Garipagaoglu, Muazzez; Ersoy, Gulgun[No Abstract Available]Article Citation - WoS: 10Citation - Scopus: 10Nutritional and Obesity Status of Children and Adolescents With Adhd: a Case-Control Study(Ibn Sina Trust, 2023) Koc, Sumeyye; Garipagaoglu, Muazzez; Ekinci, Ozalp; Kanik, Arzu; Gultekin, FatihObjective: 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.Article Citation - WoS: 3Obesity Risk Factors in Turkish Preschool Children: a Cross-Sectional Study(Cukurova Univ, Fac Medicine, 2022) Ozkaya, Sebnem Ozgen; Ozkaya, Volkan; Garipagaoglu, MuazzezPurpose: The present study aims to identify the potential risk factors - pre and post-pregnancy, children's, parental, and environmental factors - concerning obesity in Turkish preschool children.Materials and Methods: The cross-sectional study was conducted with 538 children aged 3-5 and their mothers in 25 private and public kindergartens using a face-to-face survey. Demographic, anthropometric, nutrition, sleep, and physical activity information during pregnancy, infancy, and preschool periods were evaluated. Two-day food records and anthropometric measurements of the children were collected.Results: The prevalence of overweight and obesity in preschool children was found to be 27.0%. Among the 28 potential risk factors examined, pre-pregnancy obesity (odds ratios (OR):1.108, confidence interval (CI): 1.042-1.179), post-pregnancy obesity (OR:4.350, CI: 2.053-9.217), caffeine intake >200 mg/day during pregnancy (OR:1.588, CI:1.031-2.446), father with obesity (OR: 1.089, CI: 1.027-1.155), enrolling a private rather than a public kindergarten (OR: 2.093, CI:1.298-3.376), fast eating (OR:3.355, CI: 1.175-9.583 min), short lunch duration (OR:0.966, CI:0.934-0.998), daily sleep of <10 hours (OR:2.522, 1.439-4.421), and finally screen time of >2 hours/day (OR:1.560, CI:1.012-2.405) were found to be significantly correlated with obesity in preschool children.Conclusion: Parental obesity, caffeine intake during pregnancy, eating speed, daily sleep, and screen time were determined as obesity risk factors in Turkish preschool children. Identifying maternal and child risk factors in early childhood, regulating lifestyle and obesogenic environment can be protective against obesity.
