    BackgroundThe 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.

    Effect of Pilates Exercises on the Body Composition of Fasting Females
    (Galenos Publ House, 2022) Batar, Nazli; Kermen, Seda; Sevdin, Sezen; Ersin, Aybuke; Guclu, Duygu
    Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the changes in the body composition of individuals who fasted and did Pilates at least twice a week during Ramadan versus those who fasted but did no Pilates. Methods: This was an experimental study conducted on 60 healthy women who were admitted to the Noi Pilates in Istanbul Turkey, which was a private Pilates studio. The study was carried out on 60 grown-up, healthy women between 18 and 65 years of age who fasted in Ramadan 2019, some of whom did Pilates and some who did not. The women involved in the study had been doing Pilates for 6 months prior to Ramadan and did Pilates at least 3 times a week during Ramadan. Results: Significant increases were observed in body mass index (BMI), triceps skin-fold thickness (SFT), muscle mass and fat percentage in the fasting and non-pilates group (p<0.05). Our study found the change in the percentage of triceps SFT and fat in women who did Pilates to be more than those who did not. BMI, muscle mass, waist circumference and hip circumference of women who did Pilates and who did not do Pilates during Ramadan did not differ compared to the first measurements, and neither of the two methods dominated in terms of these variables. Conclusion: While a long period of fasting in Ramadan leads people to inactivity, personalized exercise and nutrition programs planned by experts may result in weight loss, especially for obese and slightly overweight people.
