“…None of the participating adolescents in the current was on a GFCF diet. Calcium deficiency was reported with typically developing Turkish children [52,53] and adults [54]; as well as children and adolescents with ASD in our previous study [20]. Unlike European countries, milk does not constitute an essential part of the meals and the consumption of milk and milk products in Turkey is lower than developed countries [55].…”

Dietary intake of 117 male adolescents (aged 12 to 18 years, residing in Istanbul, Turkey) with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and classified as normal (n=39), overweight (n=39) and obese (n=39) according to BMI-for-age were assessed. Anthropometric measurements were taken and participants were asked to complete a general questionnaire, feeding assessment survey and three-day food records. Daily intakes of energy and nutrients were calculated using food records. The EAR-cut point method was used to investigate the prevalence of inadequacy and potential risk of excess. Dietary fibre, calcium, zinc and folate intake of many participants were below the DRI value. Prevalence of inadequacy for iron, vitamin A, B6 and C were lower than these nutrients. Daily consumption of sodium and cholesterol was higher than the recommendations. Percent DRI value for energy differed significantly in each BMI-for-age group (p<0.05) and was highest in the obese category. This category also had higher %DRI values for most vitamins and minerals. Percent energy values provided by macronutrients (AMDR) were not significantly different from each other across BMI-for-age categories and remained within the reference values.

Although vitamin D insufficiency is very common health problem in the world, its prevalence and predictors in adolescents are controversial. We planned to evaluate prevalenve and predictors of vitamin D insufficiency in adolescents living at an intermediate altitude. We also want to give optimal serum 25(OH) vitamin D levels in relation to serum PTH levels. This study was conducted at 343 primary and high school children aged between 13-17 years living in Erzurum city center. These children were selected using stratified random sampling in the spring (April-May), and were invited to our department for participation in this research study. Of 343 children, 246 could be evaluated again in the autumn (September-October). Subjects with vit D level < 10 ng/ml were considered as vitamin D deficiency, and with 10-20 ng/ml as vitamin D insufficiency. If vitamin D level is > 20 ng/ml, it's considered as adequate. In spring, vitamin D deficiency was detected in 17.7 % and vitamin D insufficiency was detected in 72 % of subjects. At the end of summer these rates were 1.6 % and 41.1 % respectively. Serum 25(OH)vitamin D levels at which plasma PTH concentrations begin to form a plateau is 22 ng/mL. Values below estimated lower normal level (22 ng/mL) were detected in 94.2 % of subjects.
