Objective:The purpose of this study was to determine the cut-off values for waist circumference (WC) and mid-upper arm (MUAC) assess their use in screening obesity children.Methods: Anthropometric measurements a total 2621 boys 2737 girls aged 6-17 years were analyzed.WC MUAC compared with ROC analysis using body mass index (BMI) International Obesity Task Force (IOTF) WC≥ 90 th percentile.forMUAC.Results: In both genders, except 6-year age group post-pubertal boys, differences between area...
Abstract Aim: To provide neck circumference (NC) percentiles and mean values for Turkish children to investigate their significance in clinical epidemiological use. Methods: Data were obtained from a cross‐sectional screening study; DAMTCA II (Determination of Anthropometric Measurements Children Adolescents) which 5481 subjects 17 primary, secondary high schools included. NC produced using the LMS method, was compared with other parameters define body fat distribution. Results: The smoothed...
Abstract Aim: To determine the relationship between sleep duration and obesity in Turkish children adolescents. Methods: This study was conducted Turkey with 5358 aged 6 to 17 years. Height, weight, waist circumference (WC), mid‐upper arm (MUAC), triceps skinfold thickness were measured. Body mass index (BMI), fat area calculated. Self‐reported by parents obtained. Results: As increased, BMI, which significantly higher girls sleeping ≤8 h, decreased (p < 0.05). WC, MUAC, BMI boys h versus...
The aim of the study was to establish cross-sectional reference values for mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC), triceps skinfold thickness (TSF) and fat area (AFA) Turkish children adolescents. In total 5,553 students aged between 6 17 years were selected by a multistage sampling method from schools representing city centre, rural urban areas Kayseri, Central Anatolia. MUAC TSF measured, muscle area, AFA percentage (%) calculated. LMS employed calculate MUAC, curve parameters. TSF, in each...
Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a dysbiosis of the gut microbiota, and diet one powerful environmental factors that can alter microbiota. The aim clinical study was to determine effect Ideal Food Pyramid on microbiota in RA patients; as well its disease activity, biochemical findings anthropometric measurements. Methods: Thirty patients diagnosed with who met inclusion criteria were randomly divided into control groups followed for 12 weeks. Gut composition determined by 16S rRNA...
Background: The gut microbiota composition of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients differs from healthy people, and diet is among the powerful environmental determinants that can alter microbiota. purpose this clinical research was to identify effect Ideal Food Pyramid on in RA, as well its impact disease activity, biochemical findings anthropometric measurements. Methods: Thirty diagnosed with RA met inclusion criteria were randomized into control groups followed for 12 weeks. indicated by...
Purpose This study aims to determine the relationship between dietary inflammatory index (DII), healthy eating (HEI), glycemic and load (GI/GL) with sleep quality anthropometric measurements in college students. Design/methodology/approach was a cross-sectional study. With type I error of 0.05, II 0.20, minimum power 90%, required sample size calculated be at least 112 However, considering that there might missing data being conducted increase study, 500 students were recruited for A total...
Background: Studies evaluating the relationship between oral health status and obesity have provided conflicting data.Therefore, there is a great need to investigate clarify possible connection in comprehensive sample.Aims: To assess of among children adolescents aged 6 17 yearsold.Study Design: Cross-sectional study.Methods: Data were obtained from 4,534 (2,018 boys 2,516 girls).Questionnaires sent home prior examination; afterwards, anthropometric dental data collected...
Abstract Quinoa ( Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) is a pseudocereal with rich nutritional composition, gluten free, and organoleptic. The primary aim of this study was to elucidate the possible protective roles in glucose homeostasis model cafeteria diet‐induced obesity. Male Wistar rats (3 weeks age) were randomly allocated be fed by; control chow (CON; n = 6), (QUI; (CAF; or (CAFQ; 6) for 15 weeks. CAFQ resulted decreased saturated fat, sugar, sodium intake comparison CAF. Compared CON, CAF...

The aim of the current study was to provide wrist circumference (WrC) and body frame size (height/WrC) percentile values in Turkish children adolescents aged 6-17 years.In this cross-sectional study, data "Determination Anthropometric Measures Children Adolescents" (DAMTCA II) Kayseri/Turkey were used. A total 4330 observations recorded (1931 boys, 2399 girls). WrC reference produced with generalized additive models for location, scale shape.The percentiles (3rd-97th) calculated. estimated...
The study examined the risk factors associated with arm fat area (AFA) in Turkish children and adolescents. METHODS AND SAMPLES: This was conducted 5358 (2621 boys, 2737 girls) adolescents aged 6-17 years. Height, weight, waist circumference, mid-upper circumference triceps skinfold thickness were measured. Body mass index, percentage, waist-to-height ratio, AFA calculated. A questionnaire used to obtain socio-demographic data. For age- gender-specific AFA, three groups created by...
