    The Association between BMI and Body Weight Perception among Children in Turkey: A Cross-Sectional Study
    (Iranian Scientific Society Medical Entomology, 2023) Demir, Halime Pulat; Bayram, Hatice Merve
    Background: There is a complex relationship between body mass index (BMI) and body weight perception. The present study aimed to determine the relationship between BMI and body weight perception among middle-aged children.Methods: This study was cross-sectional, and conducted among 333 children (9-11 yr) from the largest public school in Istanbul, Turkey between Oct 2019 and Jan 2020. BMI was calculated as weight divided by height squared (kg/m(2)). Body weight perception was determined using a photograph figure rating scale. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 24.0. Results: Overall, 325 children (mean age 10.01 +/- 0.99 yr) completed the study. According to the BMI classification, 8.6% of children were severely underweight, 4.9% underweight, 68.0% normal weight, 8.3% overweight, and 10.2% obese. However, 38.8% of the children perceived themselves as overweight, 21.2% as underweight, 20.3% as normal, 10.3% as overweight, and 9.4% as obese. 59.1% of children underestimated their current body weight. On the other hand, 14.2% of children overestimated their current body weight. There were statistical differences between body weight perception and BMI (P<0.001).Conclusion: There was a discrepancy between body weight perception and BMI among middle-aged children. More than half of the children tend to underestimate their actual body weight. Therefore, evaluating the nutritional status of children and learning which body type children perceive can guide the preparation of individual nutrition programs.

    Dietary habits, physical activity, sleep duration, and their association with overweight and obesity among children aged 6-10
    (Istanbul Medipol University, 2024) Demir, Halime Pulat; Bayram, Hatice Merve
    This study aimed to determine dietary habits, the time spent on sleeping and physical activity among primary school children and to compare the responses given by the children and their parents about their dietary habits. This cross-sectional study was conducted on 282 children. A questionnaire including demographic characteristics, dietary habits, and some anthropometric measurements were performed. Physical activity and sleep duration were statistically different between overweight/obese and normal-weight children groups. The consumption of breakfast, lunch, fresh vegetables, dessert with dairy products, meat and meat products, chocolates, wafer, instant cake, pastry, and fast food was statistically higher in the overweight/obese group. Additionally, a statistical difference was found between “lunch consumption”, “junk food consumption” and “the child finishes all food on his/her plate” according to the responses of children and parents. It is important to raise awareness of healthy eating, exercise, and sleeping habits among primary school children. © 2024, Istanbul Medipol University. All rights reserved.

    Orthorexia nervosa: The relationship with obsessive-compulsive symptoms and eating attitudes among individuals with and without healthcare professionals
    (Ios Press, 2022) Demir, Halime Pulat; Bayram, Hatice Merve
    BACKGROUND: Today, individuals with eating disorders or orthorexia nervosa (ON) are increasing. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to determine the association between ON, eating attitudes, and obsessive-compulsive symptoms among healthcare and non-healthcare professionals. METHODS: The present study was cross-sectional, and conducted by 310 healthcare, and non-healthcare professionals. Data on demographic characteristics, the Orthorexia Nervosa Evaluation Scale (ORTO-15), the Eating Attitudes Test-40 (EAT-40), and the Maudsley Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (MOCI) were obtained by a questionnaire form. Additionally, the body weight and height of participants were taken to calculate the body mass index (BMI). Data were analyzed with SPSS statistical package 24.0. RESULTS: The ORTO-15 score of 30.3% of healthcare professionals and 27.1% of non-healthcare professionals were <= 40 (p: 0.616). The EAT-40 scores were found to be >= 30 in 7.7% of healthcare professionals and 4.5% of non-healthcare professionals (p: 0.081). According to the MOCI scores, the possibility of obsessive-compulsive symptoms was high in 29.7% of healthcare professionals (p < 0.001). There was a weak negative correlation between ORTO-15 and EAT-40 (r: -0.176, p: 0.002) and MOCI (r: -0.170, p: 0.003); and EAT-40 and MOCI (r:0.166, p: 0.03). CONCLUSION: Further studies are required to understand the relationship between ON and eating disorders that are included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5) criteria.
