“…This corroborates the findings of previous studies reporting females as being more health-conscious and followers of dietary recommendations than males [46,49,58,59]. In a study investigating dietary patterns among a national sample of Lebanese adults, females adhered more to the prudent pattern while males were found to mainly follow the western pattern [46].…”

Background: No study has investigated the relationship between dietary patterns and the risk of oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer in the Middle East and North Africa region. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the association between dietary patterns and the risk of oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer in Syria. Methods: A hospital-based unmatched case-control study was conducted on 108 cases with histologically confirmed oral, pharyngeal or laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and 105 healthy controls, who did not suffer from any dietrelated diseases. Dietary intake data were collected by a face-to-face interview, using a food frequency questionnaire. Socio-demographic and health risk behavioural information was collected using a self-completed questionnaire. Factor analysis and logistic and linear regression analyses were performed. The level of significance was set at 5 %. Results: The factor analysis revealed three dietary patterns labeled "Western", "Traditional Syrian" and "High Protein". The results of logistic regression analyses showed that consumption of Western food in the middle and high tertiles posed a significant increased oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer risk of four and three-fold, respectively (adjusted OR = 4.05, 2.80; 95 % CI = 1.57-10.44, 1.05-7.51; P = 0.004, 0.041; respectively). In contrast, consumption of Traditional Syrian in the high tertile and High Protein in the middle and high tertiles displayed significant protective effects in relation to oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer risk (adjusted OR = 0.28, 0.24, 0.10; 95 % CI = 0.10-0.80, 0.10-0.62, 0.03-0.25; P = 0.018, 0.003, <0.001; respectively). Compared to males, females were more likely to adhere to the High Protein dietary pattern. Traditional Syrian pattern's scores decreased with increasing level of education and smoking. High Protein pattern's scores decreased with age and smoking and increased with working status. Conclusions: Traditional Syrian and High Protein dietary patterns were associated with a decreased oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer risk, whereas Western pattern was associated with an increased oral, pharyngeal and laryngeal cancer risk.

“…respectively. They also reported that girls had a higher level of consciousness compared to boys, but that being conscious and aware was not sufficient to maintain optimal body mass (Stankiewicz et al, 2014). In Obafemi Awolowo University communities, the study carried out to measure the awareness of obesity among 236 female subjects aged 25-59 years 76.7% of women had low awareness about obesity awareness and health damage, and it was found that the level of education decreased and the awareness decreased (Ojofeitimi et al, 2007).…”

Scale was developed by Allen (2011) and adapted to Turkish by Kafkas and Özen (2014) and personal information form including age, gender and department variable were applied to the participants. The data obtained in the study were analyzed with SPSS 20.0 statistical package program and the level of significance was taken as (p <0.05). The overall internal consistency of the scale was found to be 0.87. In the study, t-test was used for pairwise comparisons of parametric tests. In our study, no significant difference was found between gender variable and obesity awareness (p>.05). There was no significant difference between obesity awareness and department variable (p>.05). When the obesity awareness scores were examined, the average score of the students of the coaching department was average 62.23 meanwhile the teaching department students average score 62,91. It was found that both physical education teachers and coaching department students had high obesity awareness, but there was no significant difference between the groups in terms of department and gender variables and obesity awareness.

“…Within the last decade, screen time behaviours such as excessive computer, tablet and smartphone use in adolescents, who have dealt with rapid technological developments, have contributed to the large amount of time that adolescents spend in an inactive way, preferring sedentary behaviour (1)(2)(3)(4). Current studies point out that sedentary activities are relatively independent of physical activity, i.e.…”

SUMMARYObjective: Screen-based behaviours such as watching television or computer use are among the most prevalent sedentary behaviours adolescents spend time on. There is a lack of recent estimates on prevalence and changes in the amount of time spent on screen-based behaviour across Central and Eastern Europe. The main aim is to assess the trends in the prevalence of current recommendations for the screen time ( Conclusions: As screen time is an important indicator of time spent in a sedentary way, our findings call for more interventions to reduce the time that school-aged children spend in front of screens.
