(Bezmialem Vakif Univ, 2021) Ates Ozcan, Burcu; Ercan, Aydan
Objective: The study was performed to assess the potential of different educational approaches given to primary school children on their nutritional status. Methods: The study was conducted with all second and third-grade students studying in an elementary school. First, 2 second and third-grade teachers were given nutrition education by the researcher. These teachers gave a healthy nutrition education to their classes for 2 months as indirect education. During the same period, the researcher gave direct nutrition education to other students. Before all education, a questionnaire and food consumption frequency forms were tested on all students. After waiting for 2 months, the food consumption frequency form applied to the students again. Results: While the percentage of students' energy from total fat and saturated fat was decreased at the end of the education, the percentages of energy from monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids were increased (p<0.05). The decrease in percentages of total fat and saturated fat is more efficient in indirect education (p<0.05). Direct nutrition education was more effective in increasing the intake of riboflavin, niacin and vitamin B12, while indirect nutritional education was more effective in increasing the intake of thiamine, A, B6, E and C vitamins (p<0.05). Conclusion: Nutrition education given to children had a positive effect on their h nutritional status. This effect was moderately better through indirect education, and we believe this is due to the fact that students considered their teachers as role models.

Factors affecting food addiction in adult women: the effect of depression, body mass index, and body image
(Pontificia Universidade Catolica Campinas, 2021) Yesilkaya, Burcu; Ates Ozcan, Burcu
Objective Food addiction, an increasingly prevalent disorder, involves multiple physiological and psychological factors. It is often associated with obesity and psychiatric disorders. This study aimed to determine the main factors affecting food addiction in women. Methods In total, 383 adult women were evaluated using an anamnesis form to record participant demographic information and anthropometric measurements, along with the Yale Food Addiction Scale, Beck Depression Inventory, and body perception scale. We created a model according to Beck Depression Inventory, body mass index, age, body perception scale, and marital status, which were thought to influence Yale Food Addiction Scale. Results Mean participant age was 30.13 +/- 10.84 years. Food addiction scores of the participants showed significant positive correlations with body weight, body mass index, and depression scores, and significant negative correlations with the body perception scale scores (p<0.05). The results revealed that the Yale Food Addiction Scale score is affected by the Beck Depression Inventory and body mass index. Increase in Beck Depression Inventory and body mass index increased the Yale Food Addiction Scale score by 0.054 and 0.076 units, respectively. Conclusion The main factors affecting emotional eating in women are coexistence of high scores of depression and high body mass index. It is determined that people can have depression, food addiction and obesity at the same time.
