Öğe Does Behavioral Feeding Problem Influence Weight Status and Diet Quality in Preschool Children?(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2025) Kaya, Neşe; Aykemat, Yusuf; Kurtbeyoglu, EmineThis study investigated behavioral feeding problems and associations with weight status and diet quality in preschool children. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 265 children aged 3 to 6 years. The Behavioral Pediatric Feeding Assessment Scale (BPFAS) was used to assess feeding behavior. Higher feeding problems were associated with lower body mass index and lower diet quality. Underweight children had higher mean BPFAS scores (P = .01). Having fewer siblings was associated with lower diet quality (r = 0.187; P = .002) and higher BPFAS scores (r = -0.127; P = .038). Higher BPFAS scores, picky-eaters scores, toddler refusal-general scores, and older children refusal-general scores were associated with lower body mass index and lower diet quality (P < .001).Öğe Effects of home vacuum packaging method at different storage conditions on total antioxidant and phenolic compound levels in berry fruits(Walter De Gruyter Gmbh, 2025) Nisari, Mustafa; Başmısırlı, Eda; Aykemat, Yusuf; Aytekin-Sahin, Gizem; İnanç, Neriman; Dishan, AdaletThis study aimed to investigate the effects of home vacuum packaging on the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and total phenolic content (TPC) levels of seven types of berries (raspberry, hawthorn, goldenberry, blackberry, strawberry, redcurrant, and blueberry) under different storage conditions. The berries were either vacuum+ or vacuum- and stored in a household refrigerator at +4 degrees C or frozen at -18 degrees C. Samples stored at +4 degrees C were analyzed on days 0, 7, and 30, while frozen samples were analyzed on days 0, 30, and 90. The results showed that TAC levels of fruit samples decreased by 18.88 % after 30 days at +4 degrees C in the vacuum- samples, while the vacuum+ samples showed only a 9.64 % reduction. Similarly, after 90 days of freezing, TAC levels decreased by 19.35 % in vacuum- samples, compared to an 11.56 % reduction in vacuum+ samples. Moreover, TPC levels of fruit samples decreased by 81.81 % after 30 days at +4 degrees C in the vacuum- samples, while the vacuum+ samples showed a 72.99 % reduction. After 90 days of freezing, TPC levels decreased by 75.99 % in vacuum- samples, while the vacuum+ samples showed only a 48.30 % reduction. Although TAC and TPC levels decreased over time at both +4 degrees C and -18 degrees C, the vacuum+ samples generally retained higher levels of TAC and TPC compared to the vacuum- samples, suggesting that vacuum packaging can slow down enzymatic and oxidative reactions. These findings indicate that home vacuum packaging could be a useful method for preserving the nutritional quality of berries and potentially reducing food waste.Öğe Evaluation of Nutritional Status with Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2010) of Syrian Refugees Living Outside the Refugee Camps(Mdpi, 2023) Atayoglu, Ali Timucin; Firat, Yagmur; Kaya, Neşe; Başmısırlı, Eda; Çapar, Aslı Gizem; Aykemat, Yusuf; Atayolu, RumeysaNutrition is a public health issue. Amongst populations of refugees, unmet nutritional needs have been identified. The aim of this study was to evaluate the nutritional status of Syrian refugees living outside the refugee camps in Kayseri, Turkey. Socio-demographic data and anthropometric measurements of the refugees were collected. The relationship between diet quality, which was assessed through the Healthy Eating Index (HEI-2010), and factors (including the duration of time spent outside the refugee camp, income, obesity, and waist circumference) were measured. Four hundred refugees participated in this study. The majority of refugees (77.8%) reported a 'poor' diet, with the remaining filling into the 'needs improvement' based on HEI-2010 scores. The average consumption of fruits in the study group was 101.9 g per day (g/day), while the average consumption of vegetables was 142.2 g/day. When the relationships were examined between BMI, HEI-2010 score, the time spent as a refugee, and waist circumference, statistically significant relationships were found (p < 0.001). In the linear regression analysis based on these relationships, when the results were adjusted for age and gender factors, it was observed that for every year spent as a refugee, BMI score increased by 0.17 units, and waist circumference increased by 1.14 units (p < 0.05). As a result, this study showed that refugees have low-income-related nutritional risks. In conclusion, ensuring that refugees have access to adequate nutrient-rich food is essential; therefore, analyzing and improving nutritional standards for refugees are suggested to be part of the strategies of the public and primary health care systems.Öğe Investigation of double-carbapenem efficiency in experimental sepsis of colistin-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae(Kare Publ, 2021) Kosar, Imran; Dinc, Gokcen; Eren, Esma; Aykemat, Yusuf; Kilic, Mesut; Kilic, Huseyin; Doganay, MehmetOBJECTIVE: Klebsiella pneumoniae, a Gram-negative pathogen, especially which produces carbapenemase, is seen as a major threat to public health due to rapid plasmid-mediated spread of resistance and limited therapeutic options available for treatment. Although colistin has been recognized as a last resort antimicrobial for multidrug-resistant K. pneumoniae infections, these isolates have developed resistance to colistin as a result of its intensive use. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of double-carbapenem treatment of colistin-resistant K. pneumoniae experimental sepsis in mice. METHODS: In the study, 8-10-week-old Balb-c mice were divided as control groups (positive and negative) and treatment groups (colistin, ertapenem+meropenem, and ertapenem+meropenem+colistin). Sepsis was developed in mice by an intraperitoneal injection of colistin resistant K. pneumoniae. Antibiotics were given intraperitoneally 3 h after bacterial inoculation. Mice in each subgroup were sacrificed with overdose anesthetic at the end of 24-48 h and cultures were made from the heart, lung, liver, and spleen. Furthermore, homogenates of lung and liver were used to detect the number of colony-forming units per gram. Bacterial clearance was evaluated in lung and liver at different time points. RESULTS: When the quantitative bacterial loads in the lung and liver tissues are evaluated, no statistically significant difference was observed between different antibiotic treatments (p>0.05). All three treatment options were not effective, especially in 24 h. Only the decrease in bacterial load at the 48th h of the group treated with ertapenem + meropenem + colistin was found significant (p<0.05) compared to the 24 h. CONCLUSION: In the light of these data, it was understood that double-carbapenem application was not sufficient in the treatment of experimental sepsis in mice with colistin-resistant K. pneumoniae. Furthermore, ertapenem + meropenem + colistin combined therapy was not found to be superior to colistin monotherapy or double-carbapenem therapy.Öğe Investigation of the Relationship between the Disease Severity and Quality of Life of Psoriasis Patients and Their Anthropometric Measurements and Diets(Mdpi, 2022) Atayoglu, Ali Timucin; Çapar, Aslı Gizem; Basmisirlioglu, Eda; Yasar, Yagmur; Aykemat, Yusuf; Atayoglu, Ayten Guner; İnanç, NerimanPsoriasis is a multifaceted, chronic, inflammatory skin disease that impacts patients' quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between the disease severity and quality of life of psoriasis patients and their nutritional status. The study included 40 patients in the psoriasis group, compared with 40 healthy individuals in the control group. A questionnaire for determination of socio-demographic characteristics and nutritional intake, anthropometric measurements, psoriasis area and severity index (PASI), and dermatology life quality index (DLQI) were used for the assessments. Daily food consumption details were recorded for three consecutive days to determine daily energy and nutrient intakes. Compared to the control group, the frequencies of single participants, primary school graduates, and housewives were higher in the psoriasis group (p < 0.05). The psoriasis patients weighed more and had an increased waist/hip ratio in comparison with the healthy individuals. The energy intake was lower in the psoriasis group (p < 0.01). There was not a significant statistical difference in the intake of proteins, fiber, vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C, Zn, Fe, and Mg supplements between the groups. However, there was an inverse correlation between the daily vitamin E intake and PASI scores (p < 0.05). There was a positive moderate correlation between the DLQI and PASI scores (p < 0.01). Our study indicated that lower daily vitamin E intake levels were associated with the severity of psoriasis. In addition to this, abdominal obesity seems to be another risk factor in psoriasis patients, even if they have a normal body mass index (BMI). An integrated healthcare approach with dermatologists, family physicians, and dietitians is essential to the management of psoriasis.Öğe Relationship Between Dairy Consumption and Abdominal Obesity(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2022) Yasar Firat, Yagmur; İnanç, Neriman; Soylu, Meltem; Başmısırlı, Eda; Çapar, Aslı Gizem; Aykemat, YusufObjective This cross-sectional study aimed to demonstrate the relationship between dairy consumption and abdominal obesity in adolescents. Method In total, 700 adolescents participated in this cross-sectional study. Sociodemographic characteristics, consumption of dairy, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), and waist/height (W/H) ratio were evaluated. The participants were divided into two groups as to whether their dairy consumptions were below or above 3 portions/d, according to the Turkey Dietary Guideline recommendations. Results The mean age of participants was 15.84 +/- 1.23 years. The rate of girls (65.2%) who participated in this study was significantly higher than that of the boys (34.8%; p < 0.001). No statistically significant difference was found between the participants whose dairy consumption was below and above the specified limits in terms of BMI, WC, or W/H measurements. Energy intake (p < 0.05) and milk and cheese consumption (p < 0.001) were higher in boys than in girls. There was a significant negative correlation between dairy consumption and WC (r = -0.121), W/H ratio (r = -0.105), and BMI (r = -0.103) in girls (p < 0.05). It was found that a 1-unit increase in milk consumption can cause a 1.98-, 0.11-, and 0.552-fold decrease in WC, W/H ratio, and BMI in girls, respectively (p < 0.05; 95% confidence interval [-3.502, -0.471], [-0.020, -0.001], [-1.042, -0.062], respectively). Conclusions Inadequate milk consumption was related to increasing WC and WC may be one of the factors of abdominal obesity in girls. Therefore, it is of importance to raise awareness about milk and dairy consumption in adolescents.Öğe Relationship Between Dairy Consumption and Abdominal Obesity [2](Routledge, 2021) Yasar Firat, Yagmur; İnanç, Neriman; Soylu, Meltem; Başmısırlı, Eda; Çapar, Aslı Gizem; Aykemat, YusufObjective: This cross-sectional study aimed to demonstrate the relationship between dairy consumption and abdominal obesity in adolescents.

Energy intake (p < 0.05) and milk and cheese consumption (p < 0.001) were higher in boys than in girls. There was a significant negative correlation between dairy consumption and WC (r = ?0.121), W/H ratio (r = ?0.105), and BMI (r = ?0.103) in girls (p < 0.05). It was found that a 1-unit increase in milk consumption can cause a 1.98-, 0.11-, and 0.552-fold decrease in WC, W/H ratio, and BMI in girls, respectively (p < 0.05; 95% confidence interval [?3.502, ?0.471], [?0.020, ?0.001], [?1.042, ?0.062], respectively). Conclusions: Inadequate milk consumption was related to increasing WC and WC may be one of the factors of abdominal obesity in girls. Therefore, it is of importance to raise awareness about milk and dairy consumption in adolescents. © 2021 American College of Nutrition.Öğe The Effect of Vitamin B12 Levels on Prognosis in COVID-19 Patients(Rabia YILMAZ, 2022) Aslaner, Hümeyra; İnanç, Neriman; Gökçek, Mebrure Beyza; Aykemat, Yusuf; Aslaner, Hacı Ahmet; Benli, Ali RamazanObjectives: It is known that vitamins have some effects such as suppressing viral replication, developing anti-inflammatory responses and that they increase immunity in COVID-19. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the vitamin B12 (Vit B12) serum levels and the prognosis of the disease in patients with COVID-19. Material and Method: A total of 408 participants were included in the study. Sociodemographic information such as age, educational status, serum vitamin B12 levels, hemogram parameters, and clinical findings of the patients who were admitted for follow-up after the end of COVID-19 infection was evaluated retrospectively. Serum vitamin B12 level between 150-200 pg/mL was assessed as mild deficiency, the value between 100-150 pg/mL as severe deficiency and the value under 100 pg/mL as extremely severe deficiency. Results: Median age of the participants was 44.51 (18-88) years. The median Vit B12 level of the patients was 179.50 (75-641). Of the patients, 248 (60.70%) had Vit B12 deficiency. The rates of pneumonia and hospitalization were higher and fatigue and loss of taste/smell were more in patients with Vit B12 deficiency. NLR and PLR which are the inflammatory markers were higher in patients with Vit B12 deficiency. The rates of pneumonia and hospitalization were the highest in the severe Vit B12 deficiency group among the Vit B12 deficiency groups. Conclusion: The clinical progression was worse in COVID-19 patients with Vit B12 deficiency than those who had no Vit B12 deficiency. Therefore, it has been concluded that Vitamin B12 supplement can have positive effects on COVID-19 patients; however, more comprehensive further studies with longer duration and higher number of patients are needed.Öğe Total aflatoxin and ochratoxin A levels, dietary exposure and cancer risk assessment in dried fruits in Türkiye(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Sahin, Gizem Aytekin; Aykemat, Yusuf; Yildiz, Aysegul Tugba; Dishan, Adalet; İnanç, Neriman; Gonulalan, ZaferThis study aimed to measure total aflatoxin (AF) (AFB1, AFB2, AFG1, and AFG2) and ochratoxin A (OTA) levels in dried fruit samples and to evaluate the potential dietary exposure and cancer risk to these mycotoxins in Kayseri/Turkiye. Dried fruit samples were collected between April-May 2021. A total of 11 dried grapes and apricot samples, 7 dried fig and plum samples were collected. Total aflatoxins and OTA in dried fruits were determined by ELISA method. Then, the margin of exposure (MOE) and cancer risk were calculated. Total AF was detected in dried fruit samples between 42.86%, and 100%. Between 18.18% and 57.14% of samples exceeded the European Commission (EC) limits for total AF. Moreover, OTA was detected in all samples. Between 71.43% and 100% of samples exceeded the EC limits for OTA. Cancer risk due to OTA exposure was higher than total AF and it was determined that OTA exposure could pose a risk for public health (MOE < 10,000). Although mycotoxin exposure seems to be low due to the low consumption of dried fruit in Turkiye, the risk of exposure and cancer may increase because of complying with the recommendations of the dietary guidelines. The findings provide new insights into exposure to total AF and OTA through the consumption of dried fruit.
