Even though Austria provides free access to healthcare services, a large number of Turkish women were not aware of their CVD risk factors. The Mosque Campaign reached female Turkish migrants and was effective in reducing their level of unawareness about CVD. Language-adapted and culture-sensitive programs are necessary to ensure greater equality for ethnic minority groups.

Background: The aim of this study was to determine the normal reference values for olfactory sulcus depth (OSd), olfactory tract length (OTl) and olfactory bulb volume (OBv) in the pediatric population with routine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and determine the relationship, if any, between these values and patient sex and age. Materials and methods: Ninety patients with a median age of 8 years (age range: 3-17 years), consisting of 45 males and 45 females with normal brain MRI scans were evaluated. The patients were divided into three subgroups based on age range, with n=30 per subgroup; Group 1: Young children (3-6 years), Group 2: Children (7-11 years) and Group 3: Adolescents (12-17 years). In the cranial MRI examination of all groups, the right, left and total olfactory bulb volume values were measured in mm 3 , the right and left olfactory tract length values and the right and left olfactory sulcus depth values were calculated manually in mm. Demographic data including sex and age were recorded. Results: There was no significant difference between the age groups in terms of sex. Right-left olfactory sulcus depth; right-left olfactory tract length and right-left total olfactory bulb volume values increased significantly when they are compared in terms of age groups (p < 0.0001, 0.028; <0.0001, <0.0001; <0.0001, <0.0001; < 0.0001, respectively). There was no significant difference between right and left olfactory tract length and olfactory bulb volumes in all groups (p = 0.792 and p = 0.478), but the right olfactory sulcus depth was significantly larger than the left (p = 0.003). Conclusions: Olfactory tract length and olfactory bulb volume dimensions of olfactory nerve and olfactory sulcus depth should be checked during diagnosis of respective illnesses in pediatric population especially increasing age.
