“…This uniformity in responses underscores the importance of addressing meal skipping as a shared concern among elderly individuals, regardless of gender. This finding aligns with previous research that has highlighted the universal health risks associated with irregular eating patterns (Kabakuş-Aykut & Bilici, 2022). Similarly, the discovery that both male and female health professionals shared similar perspectives on strategies for improving healthy food consumption among the elderly is significant.…”

This study delves into the critical realm of the health implications of meal skipping among the elderly and delineates strategies for the enhancement of healthy food consumption within the unique context of Ugheli, Delta State. As the elderly populace plays an indispensable role in shaping the social, cultural, and familial tapestry of any community, understanding the dietary habits and their impacts on health becomes paramount. The research design comprises both experimental and survey methods, integrating dietary experiments with comprehensive questionnaires. Ugheli, a culturally diverse city in Delta State, Nigeria, forms the geographical scope of this study. The population encompasses 19,235 pensioners, representing a significant segment of the community. Three hundred and sixty-eight respondents, including retirees and health professionals, participated in the study, yielding a response rate of 98%. The findings highlight a pressing concern: a substantial proportion of the elderly in Ugheli grapples with undernutrition, particularly among females. Moreover, meal skipping among the elderly yields a host of adverse health effects, including metabolic disruptions, weight gain, elevated blood pressure, and impaired cognitive function. To mitigate these issues, the study posits evidence-based strategies for bolstering healthy food consumption. These strategies encompass discouraging meal skipping, promoting whole-grain intake, encouraging food fortification, and reducing excessive carbohydrate consumption. Notably, consensus prevails among both male and female respondents and health professionals regarding the significance of these strategies. The implications extend to public health policies and community development in Ugheli, Delta State.

Purpose The SCOFF questionnaire was designed as a simple, memorable screening tool to raise suspicion that a person might have an eating disorder. It is over 20 years since the creation of the SCOFF, during which time it has been widely used. Considering this, we wish to review the use of the SCOFF in peer-reviewed scientific journals, and to assess whether it is being used appropriately in the manner in which it was originally devised and tested. Methods The Preferred Reporting Items for a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis (PRISMA) guidelines were followed, and all search strategies and methods were determined before the onset of the study. PubMed and Wiley Online Library were searched using the terms SCOFF and eating. Two reviewers were involved in the reviewing process. Criteria for appropriate use of the SCOFF were formalised with the tool’s original authors. Results 180 articles were included in the final review. 48 articles had used the SCOFF appropriately, 117 articles inappropriately and 15 articles had been mixed in the appropriateness of their use. Conclusion This systematic review highlights the inappropriate use of the SCOFF in diverse languages and settings. When used correctly the SCOFF has made a significant contribution to the understanding of eating disorders and its simplicity has been applauded and led to widespread use. However in over two-thirds of studies, the use of the SCOFF was inappropriate and the paper highlights how and in what way it was misused, Guidelines for the appropriate use of the SCOFF are stated. Future validation and avenues of research are suggested. Level of evidence Level I.

“…In one study, it was found that 51.8% of males and 31.3% of females were at risk among university students [23]. In another study, the prevalence of eating disorders in female students was higher than in males (47.6% vs 33.3%), which indicates 3.285 times higher risk of eating disorders in females [24]. In a recent study, investigating the risk of disordered eating attitudes and behaviors among university students in Bangladeshi, the frequency of disordered eating behavior, determined using EAT-26, was 17.2% for males and 23.5% for females [25].…”

Objective: The study aimed to investigate the relationships between body mass index, reasons for consuming palatable foods, emotional eating, cognitive dietary restraint, and disordered eating behaviors in young adults. Methods: This study was conducted with 800 young adults, in Ankara, Türkiye. A questionnaire consisting of questions about socio-demographic characteristics, health status, and instruments including Eating Attitudes Test-26, Emotional Appetite Questionnaire, Palatable Eating Motives Scale, and The Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire were applied through face-to-face interviews. Results: According to the Eating Attitudes Test-26, 17.2% of males and 27.7% of females were at risk for disordered eating behaviors (χ2=9.750, p=0.002). The mean scores of the Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-emotional eating, cognitive restraint subscales, and the positive and negative scores of the Emotional Appetite Questionnaire were higher in males than in females (p<0.05). The mean scores of the Palatable Eating Motives Scale-coping and reward enhancement motives were higher in females, while the mean score for the conformity motives was significantly higher in males. Body mass index, Three-Factor Eating Questionnaire-cognitive restraint subscale, Emotional Appetite Questionnaire-negative, and PEMS-conformity motives were found for predictors for Eating Attitudes Test-26 (all p<0.05). Conclusion: The results showed a high tendency for emotional eating, consumption of palatable foods, and cognitive dietary restraint in young adults, and these factors were considered determinants for eating disorders.
