ÖZET Amaç: Bu çalışma sağlık eğitimi alan kız öğrencilerin sahip oldukları osteoporoz risk faktörlerini, risklerini ve bu konudaki farkındalıklarını değerlendirmek amacıyla tanımlayıcı ve kesitsel olarak planlandı. Materyal Metot: Çalışma verileri 192 kız öğrenciden toplandı. Verilerin toplanmasında sosyo-demografik özelliklerin ve alışkanlıkların sorgulandığı bilgi formu, Uluslararası Osteoporoz Vakfı tarafından geliştirilmiş olan "Bir dakikalık risk testi" ve araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilmiş "Osteoporoz Risk Farkındalıkları" soru formu kullanıldı. Verilerin analizinde frekans, yüzde, aritmetik ortalama, standart sapma ve korelasyon testi kullanıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin % 98.4' ü bekar, %6'sı sigara kullanmakta, %54.7'si hiç egzersiz yapmamakta, %42.2'si ise süt tüketmemektedir. Öğrencilerin %13'ü düzenli olarak ilaç kullanmakta, %40.6'sı sırt ve bel ağrısı çekmekte, %50.5'i kapalı giyim tarzını seçmekte ve %57.3'ü güneşlenmemektedir. Öğrencilerin ailelerinin %12.5'inde osteoporoz, %20.3'ünde ise kırık hikayesi bulunmaktadır. Ailesinde osteoporoz hikayesi bulunanların risk puanları bulunmayanlara göre daha yüksek bulundu. (p<0.001). Beden Kütle Indeksi (BKI) ile osteoporoz risk puanı arasında ters yönde anlamlı ilişki bulunmaktadır (p<0.05). Öğrencilerin %97.4' ünün osteoporoz risklerinin düşük, osteoporoz risk farkındalık puanına göre ise farkındalıklarının orta düzeyde (12.84±3.16) olduğu belirlendi. Osteoporoz risk puanı ile farkındalık puanı arasında anlamlı ilişki bulunmadı (p<0.05). Sonuç: Bu çalışma, gençlik döneminde düşük risk grubunda yer alan öğrencilerde erken dönemde risk faktörleri taraması yapılması, risklerinin ölçülmesi, farkındalıklarının arttırılması ve korunmaya yönelik yaşam tarzı düzenlemeleri konusunda eğitim ile davranış değişikliği yapılması gerektiğini vurgulamaktadır. Anahtar kelimeler: Farkındalık, kadın, osteoporoz, risk, öğrenci.ABSTRACT Aim: This study was planned as descriptive and cross sectional and aimed to evaluate the osteoporosis risk factors, risks and awareness in female students who were receiving health education. Material and Method: The study data was collected from 192 female students. In data collection, the information form in which socio-demographic factors and habits were questioned, the ''One minute risk test'' which was developed by the International Osteoporosis Foundation and the ''Osteoporosis Risk Awareness'' questionnaire form, which was developed by the researchers, were used. In the analysis of data, frequencies, percentages, arithmetic means, standard deviations, and correlation tests were used. Results: Among the students who participated in the study, 98.4% were single, 6% were smokers, 54.7% did not exercise at all, and 42.2% did not consume milk. It was found that 13% of the students were on regular medication, 40.6% suffered from back pain and waist pain, 50.5% chose to dress in a turban, and 57.3% did not sunbathe. Among the students' families, 12.5% had a history of osteoporosis and 20.3% had a history of fracture. The...

In this study, the 10-year dietary habits of patients diagnosed with cancer (n = 1155) were retrospectively analyzed, and the relationships between dietary (red meat, white meat, fish meat, French fries, bread, instant coffee, ready-to-drink coffee, Turkish coffee, and black tea) heterocyclic amines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, acrylamide, and N-nitrosamine-based risk scores and cancer types were statistically evaluated. The foods with the highest and lowest mean dietary heat-treatment contaminant risk scores were red meat and ready-to-drink coffee, respectively. There were statistically significant differences in the dietary heat-treatment contamination risk scores based on the cancer patients’ demographic characteristics (sex, age, smoking, and body mass index) (p < 0.05). According to the cancer types, the systems with the highest and lowest dietary heat-treatment contaminant risk scores were determined as other (brain, thyroid, lymphatic malignancies, skin, oro- and hypopharynx, and hematology) and the reproductive (breast, uterus, and ovary) system, respectively. The relationship between instant coffee consumption and respiratory system cancer types, the frequency of consumption of French fries and urinary system cancer types and the consumption of meat products and gastrointestinal system cancer types were determined. It is thought that this study contains important findings regarding the relationship between dietary habits and cancer and will be a good source for other studies to be conducted in this context.

The data were collected between July–September 2020 using the snowball sampling method. The study was completed with 1733 participants. The data were collected using the Impact of Events Scale-Revised and the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale. Statistical analyses included percentage, mean, standard deviation, a Chi-square test, a Mann Whitney U test, Kruskal Wallis and Tamhane's T2 post hoc, and Spearman's correlation.
