Effect of Mediterranean Diet Adherence During the Third Trimester of Pregnancy on Maternal and Newborn Health Outcomes
(Elsevier Science inc, 2025) Ceylan, Jiyan Aslan
Objectives: The aim of this study was to explore the impact of Mediterranean diet (MD) adherence during the third trimester of pregnancy on both maternal and newborn health, focusing on birth weight, cranial perimeter, and maternal biochemical markers. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted with 300 volunteer pregnant women. Maternal sociodemographic, nutritional, and biochemical data were collected before delivery (weeks 27-41 of pregnancy), while newborn anthropometric measurements were obtained within 2 d of birth. MD adherence was assessed using the KIDMED index, classifying participants into low, moderate, or optimal adherence groups. Results: 54.0% of pregnant women had very low, 27.7% moderate, and 18.3% optimal adherence to MD. Maternal urea, free T4, hemoglobin, and vitamin B12 levels were higher in the moderate adherence group, while folate and vitamin D levels were lower in the very low adherence group (P < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis indicated that maternal adherence to MD was not significantly associated with birth weight (P = 0.10, AOR = 1.082) and cranial perimeter (P = 0.63, AOR = 1.016). Pregnancy weight gain was significantly associated with a lower risk of low birth weight (P < 0.01, AOR = 2.312), and folate levels showed a borderline significant association (P = 0.05, AOR = 0.921). Factors influencing cranial perimeter included prepregnancy body mass index (P = 0.05), weight gain (P < 0.01, AOR = 2.007), folate (P = 0.04, AOR = 0.947), and vitamin B12 levels (P < 0.01, AOR = 0.996). Conclusions: MD adherence did not directly impact neonatal anthropometric outcomes, but its effect on maternal biochemical markers, lifestyle and nutritional habits suggests potential benefits for maternal health.

The Moderating Effects of Gender and Emotional Eating on the Relationship Between Social Media Addiction and Hedonic Hunger in University Students
(Nature Portfolio, 2025) Ceylan, Jiyan Aslan
The widespread use of social media has become an important factor influencing eating behaviors, particularly among university students who are heavily exposed to digital content. The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between social media addiction and hedonic hunger and to explore the moderating roles of gender and emotional eating. This cross-sectional study was conducted online during the 2023-2024 academic years and included 930 university students from T & uuml;rkiye. Data were collected using the Social Media Addiction Scale-Adult Form (SMAS-AF) and the Power of Food Scale (PFS). Emotional eating was assessed by asking participants about their overall mood and whether their emotional state influenced their eating behavior, including changes in food intake (increased, decreased, or no change). Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS and the PROCESS Macro, with significance set at p < 0.05. Findings revealed a significant positive relationship between SMAS-AF and PFS scores (B = 0.61, p < 0.01). Emotional eating significantly moderated this relationship (B = - 0.24, p < 0.01), while gender did not. Students who perceived their nutritional knowledge as inadequate, reported unbalanced eating habits, or viewed themselves as overweight or obese consistently exhibited higher scores on both the scales (p < 0.05). These results underscore the need for interventions that address emotional regulation, nutrition literacy, and media awareness to mitigate the impact of social media on eating behaviors in young adults.

Nutrition Literacy and Quality of Life of University Students: Evidence From a Cross-Sectional Survey
(Mashhad Univ Med Sciences-Iranian Assoc Health Educ & Health Promotion, 2024) Guemues, Aylin Bayindir; Ceylan, Jiyan Aslan
Background and Objectives: Nutrition literacy is a concept that improves individuals' diet quality, and quality of life and contributes to enhancing their general health by using and interpreting nutrition-related information correctly. This study purposed to determine the nutritional literacy and quality of life levels of university students and relate them with anthropometric measurements. Materials and Methods:This is a cross-sectional study and was conducted with 374 university students over the age of 18 at a state university. Nutrition literacy was assessed by using the Evaluation Instrument of Nutrition Literacy on Adults (EINLA), and quality of life was evaluated with the World Health Organization's Quality of Life Questionnaire (Turkish_WHOQOL-BREF). Waist, middle-upper arm, neck circumference, body weight, and height were measured in accordance with appropriate techniques by researchers. Independent t and One-Way ANOVA tests were used to determine differences between two and more than two mean values. Pearson correlation analysis was used to detect relationships between scores of total EINLA, its sections, total Turkish_WHOQOL-BREF and its dimensions, and other variables. Results: The mean EINLA and WHOQOL-BREF scores of the participants were 25.3 +/- 4.7 (borderline) and 54.3 +/- 15.1, respectively. While the EINLA score varied according to gender, faculty (health sciences vs others), and degree (1 to 4), the WHOQOL-BREF score varied according to gender and living place (home vs dormitory). EINLA and WHOQOL-BREF scores of BMI (underweight to obese), waist circumference, and neck circumference (normal vs at risk) groups were not different. It was found positive significant relationships between the second section of EINLA (reading comprehension and interpretation) and psychological health, the third section of EINLA (food groups), and social relationships (p<0.05). Conclusion: Nutrition literacy, anthropometric measurements, and quality of life of university students are affected by a multifactorial situation.

The Effects of Socioeconomic Status, Oral and Dental Health Practices, and Nutritional Status on Dental Health in 12-Year School Children
(Springer, 2022) Ceylan, Jiyan Aslan; Aslan, Yusuf; Ozcelik, Ayse Ozfer
Background: This study aims to examine the effects of socioeconomic status, oral, and dental health practices, dietary habits and anthropometric measurements on dental health in 12-year-old schoolchildren. Methods: The sample of the study consisted of a total of 254 children (44.1% boys and 55.9% girls) in three schools which were identified as low, moderate and high socioeconomic status. The data were collected by face-to-face interviews via a questionnaire form. Dentist determined DMFT and dmft indices of the children. SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) package program was used to analyze the data. Results: It was found that 70.9% of the children have dental caries on their permanent teeth. The number of girls with caries in permanent teeth and boys with caries in milk teeth was higher (p < 0.05). The frequency of seeing a dentist and changing toothbrush vary according to the socioeconomic status (p < 0.05). Oral and dental health indicators were determined to be affected by the frequency and duration of tooth brushing (p < 0.05). It was found that dmft values of the children consuming molasses and table sugar are lower (p < 0.05). There is a negative correlation between oral and dental health indicators and anthropometric measurements. Conclusion: Dietary habits, anthropometric measurements, oral and dental health practices, gender, and socioeconomic status were shown to be effective on caries. Caries risk assessment and determining leading risk factors enable effective prevention programs to be implemented at different levels.
Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Genetiği Değiştirilmiş Organizmalara Bakış Açısının ve Sürdürülebilir Beslenme Davranışlarının Antropometrik Ölçümlere Etkisi
(2024) Kırkler, Suat; Ceylan, Jiyan Aslan
Bu çalışma, üniversite öğrencilerinin genetiği değiştirilmiş organizmalar (GDO) konusundaki bakış açılarını ve sürdürülebilir beslenme davranışlarının antropometrik ölçümler üzerindeki etkisini incelemek amacıyla tanımlayıcı nitelikte bir araştırmadır. Araştırma, Mardin Artuklu Üniversitesi Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesi'nde öğrenim gören Beslenme ve Diyetetik, Ebelik ve Hemşirelik bölümü öğrencileri ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veriler, sosyodemografik bilgiler, GDO'lara yönelik tutumlar, sürdürülebilir beslenme davranışları hakkında soruları ve antropometrik ölçümleri içeren anket formu ile araştırmacı tarafından toplanmıştır. Evrenden amaçlı örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilen 499 öğrenci çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Toplanan veriler SPSS paket programı kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Ortalama yaşları 21.2±2.3 yıl olan bireylerin büyük çoğunlu kadın öğrencilerden oluşmaktadır. Öğrencilerin çoğunluğu GDO'ları 'genetiği değiştirilmiş gıda' olarak tanımlamış ve kullandıkları bilgi kaynağının internet olduğu bulunmuştur. Bireylerin büyük çoğunluğu, GDO'lu besinlerin alerjiye neden olabileceğini düşündüğü ve GDO'ların açlık sorunlarını çözmede uzun vadeli faydaları konusunda belirsizlik yaşadığı tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin sürdürülebilir beslenme davranışları ortalama puanları; besin tercihi 19.8±4.1, gıda israfının azaltılması 32.0±6.4, mevsimsel ve yerel beslenme 28.3±5.6, besin satın alma 19.0±4.7 ve sürdürülebilir beslenmeye yönelik davranış ölçeği toplam puanı 99.23±17.5 bulunmuştur. Cinsiyet ile sürdürülebilir beslenme davranışları ölçeğinin toplam puanı, ölçeğin besin tercihi, gıda israfının azaltılması ve besin satın alma alt boyutları arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Öğrencilerin 'GDO kullanımı ile uzun vadede açlığa çözüm bulunabilir' ifadesi dışındaki sorulara verdikleri yanıtlar ile sürdürülebilir beslenmeye yönelik davranışları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı farklılıklar olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öğrencilerin sürdürülebilir beslenme davranışları ile antropometrik ölçümleri arasındaki korelasyon analizlerine göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılığın olmadığı görülmüştür. Üniversite öğrencilerinin GDO'lar ve sürdürülebilir beslenme konusunda daha bilinçli hale gelmesi için, bu konularda eğitim programları düzenlenmeli ve öğrencilerin doğru bilgiye ulaşmaları sağlanmalıdır. Anahtar Kelimeler: GDO'lu Organizmalar, Antropometrik Ölçüm, Sürdürülebilir Beslenme, Besin Alımı, Gıda İsrafının Azaltılması.
