    Association Between Carbohydrate Quality Index and Dietary Patterns, Sleep Quality, Anxiety Level, and Depression Symptoms: a Cross-Sectional Study
    (Soc Chilena Nutricion, Bromatologia & Toxicologia, 2022) Yuksel, Aysun; Yilmaz-Onal, Hulya; Basturk, Berrak; Yalcin, Bahar
    Aim: This study was conducted to determine the relationship between carbohydrate quality and sleep quality, depression, anxiety, stress and anthropometric measurements. Methods: The carbohydrate quality was calculated using the total fiber intake, ratio of whole grains to total grains, the ratio of solid carbohydrates to total carbohydrates, and the glycemic index. Sleep status was determined using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and nutritional status was determined by taking a 1-day food consumption record and food consumption frequency. Results: It was found that 20% of the participants with the highest carbohydrate quality had the highest sleep quality and the lowest body mass index. Conclusion: Adults should be informed that the quality of carbohydrates that they consume, was associated with better sleep quality and some micronutrients (potassium, magnesium, vitamin A-D-K-C-81-86, Folate) but no significant correlation was found between anxiety, depression, and stress scores

    Kronik Böbrek Hastalıklarında Prebiyotik Kullanımının Hastalık Progresyonu Üzerine Etkileri
    (2024) Yalçın, Bahar; Özkaya, Şebnem Özgen
    Kronik böbrek hastalığı (KBH), böbrek fonksiyonunun ilerleyici ve geri dönüşsüz kaybıyla karakterize bir klinik sendromdur. KBH ile bağırsak mikrobiyotasındaki değişiklikler arasında karşılıklı ve karmaşık bir ilişki bulunmakla birlikte her ikisi de birbirini etkileyebilmektedir. KBH’de intestinal geçişin yavaşlaması, belirli ilaçların tekrarlayan kullanımı, diyet kısıtlamaları, amonyak ve ürenin bağırsağa sekresyonu gibi çeşitli faktörler disbiyozise neden olmaktadır. Bağırsak bariyer geçirgenliğinin artması, üremik toksin öncülerinin dolaşıma girmesini kolaylaştırabilir. Artan üremik toksin seviyeleri, hafif-orta dereceli KBH ve kronik böbrek yetmezliği olan hastalarda tüm nedenlere bağlı ölüm ve kardiyovasküler hastalık (KVH) riskini artırabilir. Prebiyotikler, yararlı bakterilerin büyümesini ve aktivitesini artıran sindirilmeyen besin bileşenleridir. Yapılan birçok çalışma, prebiyotiklerin bağırsak bakteri kompozisyonunu modüle edebileceğini ve aynı zamanda inflamasyonu, oksidatif stresi ve apoptozu azaltarak böbrek hasarı ve işlev bozukluğuna karşı koruyucu etkiler gösterebileceğini öne sürmektedir. Bu nedenle prebiyotikler, KBH olan bireyler için düşük maliyetli, sağlık açısından faydalı ve invazif olmayan bir tedavi seçeneği olarak gündeme gelmiştir. Bu derlemede, KBH'de prebiyotik kullanımının hastalığın ilerlemesi üzerindeki etkileri özetlenmiştir.

    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, Muazzez
    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.
