Amaç: Bu çalışmada, faklı beden kütle indeksi (BKİ) değerlerine sahip yetişkin bireylerin hedonik açlık durumlarının ve yeme davranışının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bireyler ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya yaşları 19-64 yıl arasında değişen, 541 erkek (%42.4) ve 735 kadın (%57.6) olmak üzere toplam 1276 yetişkin birey dahil edilmiştir. Çalışma anketi online olarak (sosyal medya veya e-mail) katılımcılara iletilmiştir. Uygulanan anket formu ile bireylerin bazı demografik özellikleri, beslenme alışkanlıkları, vücut ağırlığı ve boy uzunluğu sorgulanmıştır. Hedonik açlığın değerlendirmesinde Besin Gücü Ölçeği-Tr (BGÖ-Tr), yeme davranışının değerlendirilmesinde Hollanda Yeme Davranışı Anketi ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Bireyler BKİ sınıflamasına göre üç ayrı gruba ayrılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Bireylerin %57.9’u normal vücut ağırlığına sahipken, %31.2’si fazla kilolu ve %10.9’u obez sınıflamasında yer almaktadır. Çalışma sonunda BGÖ-Tr toplam puanının obez grupta normal gruba göre daha yüksek olduğu saptanmıştır (p<0.05). Hollanda Yeme Davranışı Anketi alt grubundan olan kısıtlayıcı yeme ve duygusal yeme puanının fazla kilolu ve obez bireylerde normal vücut ağırlığına sahip olanlara göre daha yüksek olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0.001). BKİ ile besine ulaşılabilirlik, besin mevcudiyeti, BGÖ-Tr toplam puan, kısıtlayıcı yeme ve duygusal yeme alt grupları arasında anlamlı pozitif korelasyon olduğu bulunmuştur (p<0.05). Bu çalışmada hedonik açlık değerlendirilmesinde kullanılan BGÖ-Tr toplam ve alt skorlarının DEBQ alt ölçeklerinden duygusal yeme ve dışsal yeme ile pozitif ilişkisi olduğu görülmüştür (p<0.001). Sonuç: Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre hedonik açlık ile yeme davranış bozuklukları arasında ilişki olduğu ve obez bireylerin hedonik açlık ve yeme davranış bozuklukları açısından normal vücut ağırlığına sahip bireylere göre daha riskli olduğu görülmüştür.

PurposeThe aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between social media addiction and eating behavior, eating disorder risk, body weight and life satisfaction in university students during pandemic period.Design/methodology/approachThe sample consists of 1,411 university students. Data were collected using online questionnaire and Scale of Social Media Usage Motives, Social Media Addiction Scale-Student Form, Dutch Eating Behavior Questionnaire (DEBQ), SCOFF Eating Disorders Scale and Life Assessment Scale were used in the study.FindingsOf the participants, 79.7% had different levels of social media addiction. Body weight and body mass index (BMI) values of those with high social media addiction were significantly higher than those in the non- and low-addicted group (p < 0.05). There was a positive relationship between social media addiction and duration of social media use, social media addiction and emotional and external eating behaviors and a negative relationship between social media addiction and life satisfaction (p < 0.01). There was no significant difference in eating disorder risk according to social media addiction groups (p = 0.823). Individuals in the nonaddicted social media group had the highest Life Assessment Scale score (p < 0.01).Originality/valueSocial media addiction was prevalent among university students, and it was related to BMI, eating behavior and life satisfaction. It is necessary to be more careful in the use of social media, which has increased in the pandemic period. Trainings to reduce the use of social media can positively affect eating behavior and contribute to the prevention of obesity and increasing life satisfaction.

Background The Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) is a frequently used scale to evaluate eating behaviors and attitudes. In recent years, its use has increased due to the fact that the use of short forms is more practical. The aim of this study was to validate the short Turkish form of the Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q) including 13 items. Methods The study included 924 adults at a mean age of 30.3 ± 10.93 years. EDEQ-13 was translated and adapted to Turkish according to the Beaton Guidelines. The Eating Attitudes Test-26 (EAT-26), the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), and the Body Appreciation Scale (BAS) were used to analyze their relationships to EDE-Q-13. Results In this study, the rate of the total variance explained by the factors of EDE-Q-13 according to the Explanatory Factor Analysis (EFA) results of the scale was 83.54%. The Cronbach's alpha value of the scale was 0.89, and the Cronbach's alpha values of the 5 subscales were calculated in the range of 0.75–0.94. The criterion validity analysis showed an acceptable correlation between EDE-Q-13 and EAT-26, SWLS, and BAS. The confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) revealed that the model had fit values that were acceptable or good. Conclusion Both EFA and CFA results showed that it is appropriate to use the Turkish EDE-Q-13. EDE-Q-13 was significantly correlated with eating disturbances, body appreciation, and life satisfaction. In conclusion, the Turkish version of EDE-Q-13 possesses high levels of validity and reliability.

Emotional and intuitive eating are associated with obesity. In the present study, it was aimed to evaluate the relationship between intuitive eating and emotional eating behaviours in adults with anthropometric measurements of obesity-related disease risk and gender. Body weight, body mass index (BMI), waist, hip and neck circumferences were taken. Emotional Eater Questionnaire and Intuitive Eating Scale-2 were used for the assessment of eating behaviour. A total of 3742 adult individuals (56⋅8 % (n 2125) female and (n 1617) male) were participated voluntarily. The total score and subscales of EEQ were higher in females than males (P < 0⋅001). The scores of the IES-2 subscales and the total score were higher in males than females (P < 0⋅05). In metabolic risk classification according to waist and neck circumference, EEQ scale scores (except type of food) were higher in the metabolic risk group, while IES-2 (except body-food congruence in neck circumference) scores were higher in the non-risk group (P < 0⋅05). While there was a positive correlation between EEQ and body weight, BMI, waist circumference, waist-height ratio, a negative correlation was found between age and waist-hip ratio. There was a negative correlation between IES-2 and body weight, BMI, waist-height ratio, waist-hip ratio. In addition, a negative correlation was found between IES-2 and EEQ. Intuitive eating and emotional eating differ by gender. Anthropometric measures and metabolic disease risk is associated with emotional eating and intuitive eating. Interventions to increase intuitive and decreasing emotional eating behaviour can be effective in preventing both obesity and obesity-related diseases.

This study was planned to evaluate the relationship between pulmonary function and some anthropometric measurements and body composition in healthy young women with different body mass index (BMI). Materials and Methods: One hundred seventeen (n:117) women, aged between 19-30 years, participated in this study. Some anthropometric measurements of the participants (body weight, height, waist circumference, hip circumference, and neck circumference) and body composition were evaluated by the researchers. Results: There was no difference in forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) and FEV1/FVC values of individuals according to BMI classification. In terms of disease risk according to anthropometric measurements, no difference was found between the groups in the pulmonary function test values (except for the waist circumference). Participants whose waist circumference were 80-88 cm were found to have a significantly higher FEV1/FVC value than participants whose waist circumference were >88 cm. It was determined that there was a positive correlation between body weight, lean body mass, body fat mass, total body water values, and FVC, FEV1 values. Conclusion: Differences in body composition and anthropometric measurements and pulmonary function assessment may be due to methodological and groupspecific changes in the studies. Long-term studies that question the body composition of individuals, food consumption and physical activity levels, will be beneficial. Amaç: Bu çalışma, farklı beden kütle indeksine (BKİ) sahip genç kadınlarda solunum fonksiyon testleri ile bazı antropometrik ölçümler ve vücut bileşimi arasındaki ilişkinin değerlendirilmesi amacıyla planlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya yaşları 19-30 yaş arasında olan 117 kadın dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcıların bazı antropometrik ölçümleri (vücut ağırlığı, boy uzunluğu, bel çevresi, kalça çevresi ve boyun çevresi) ve vücut kompozisyonu araştırmacılar tarafından değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Bireylerin BKİ sınıflamasına göre zorlu vital kapasite (FVC), 1. saniye zorluekspiratuvar volüm (FEV1) ve FEV1/FVC değerlerinde fark yoktur. Solunum fonksiyon testi değerlerinde (bel çevresi hariç) antropometrik ölçümlere göre hastalık riski açısından gruplar arasında fark bulunmamıştır . Bel çevresi 80-88 cm olan bireylerin FEV1/FVC değeri, bel çevresi >88 cm olan bireylere göre anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Vücut ağırlığı, yağsız vücut kütlesi, vücut yağ kütlesi ve toplam vücut suyu değerleri ile FVC, FEV1 değerleri arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Vücut kompozisyonu ve antropometrik ölçümler ile solunum fonksiyon değerlendirmesindeki farklılıklar, çalışmalardaki metodolojik ve gruba özgü değişikliklerden kaynaklı olabilir. Bu nedenle bireylerin vücut bileşimlerinin yanı sıra, besin tüketimi ve fiziksel aktivite düzeylerinin sorgulandığı uzun süreli çalışmaların faydalı olacağı düşünülmektedir.
