“…Additionally, 61.7% of the males and 65.4% of the females were classified as low risk. The data obtained showed results similar to studies conducted with university students in Northern Cyprus by Gezer, 31 in Turkey by Demirağ et al 28 and Çolak, 32 in Jordan by Al‐Shudifat et al, 33 in the United States by Hamman et al, 7 and in Poland by Morawiec et al 29 However, although the majority of male and female students were classified in the low‐risk group in the present study, both females and males demonstrated low consumption of fruit and vegetables. Nurses should promote healthy food consumption in young adults, because an unhealthy diet is likely to increase the risk of obesity and T2DM in the long term.…”

Background Understanding gender differences in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity risk among university students is critical for the development of health promotion interventions. Mindful eating focuses on how and why eating behavior occurs rather than what is eaten. Current research on this topic is limited in the university‐aged population. Purpose The aim of this study was to (1) assess gender differences in risk of developing T2DM and elevated body mass index (BMI)/obesity; (2) explore the mindful eating levels according to the gender perspective; and (3) evaluate the relationship between mindful eating, BMI, and the risk of T2DM among young Turkish adults. Method This cross‐sectional correlational study was conducted in Karabuk University University, Turkey, during the 2017–2018 university calendar year. Eight hundred young adults were selected by the convenience sampling method. Data analyses used were the independent t test and Pearson correlational statistics. Results BMI values of males were significantly higher than those of females (p < 0.01). There were no significant differences between males and females regarding the risk of developing T2DM (p > 0.05). Mindful eating was significantly associated with BMI and the risk of developing T2DM in the young adult populations (p < 0.01). Conclusions Our findings can provide a basic reference for developing interventions that improve healthy eating habits and weight‐loss strategies.

“…Diğer taraftan çalışma sonuçları, yaş ve BKİ arttıkça BÇ değerinin de arttığını ve obez olsun olmasın özellikle bireysel risk faktörleri taşıyan bireylerde BÇ ölçümün kesinlikle değerlendirilmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır. (21,38,40,41) Beslenme (42) çalışmasında, BKO erkeklerde 0.71 ve 0.95 arası, kadınlarda ise 0.61 ve 1.04 arasında, Gezer'in (24) yaptığı çalışmada ise, BKO 0.77±0.08 şeklinde bulunmuştur. Çalışma bulguları araştırma bulgumuz ile benzer şekilde, üniversite öğrencilerinde BKO değerinin çok düşük oranda yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir.…”

Aim: This study aimed to evaluate the frequency of abdominal obesity and the level of eating awareness in students studying at a faculty of health sciences. Methods: The sample of this descriptive, cross-sectional, and interrelated designed research comprised 972 students. The data of the study were collected with a Student Diagnostic Form, Mindful Eating Questionnaire (MEQ), and a tape measure. Descriptive statistical methods (mean, standard deviation, frequency, percentage) as well as Student's t-test, one-way ANOVA, Tukey HSD post-hoc test, and Pearson correlation analysis were used to evaluate the data. Results were evaluated at a significance level of p <0.05. Results: According to the waist circumference measurement, abdominal obesity frequency was 20.9%. The frequency of abdominal obesity was determined to be 14% in females and 57.7% in males. The students' eating awareness MEQ was found to be high, with an average score of 97.63±13.26. While the subscale of the students with the highest score was "eating control," the lowest score was found to be "eating discipline." Conclusion: There was a low frequency of abdominal obesity in students, and students had high eating awareness levels. The waist circumference values of students did not affect the level of eating awareness.

“…The increase in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes reaches up to 80% in low-and middle-income countries (1)(2)(3). The Turkish Diabetes Epidemiology (TURDEP-2) study showed that the prevalence of diabetes in Turkey increased from 7.2% to 13.7% (3,5,6). Diabetes develops as a result of several factors including genetic, environmental and lifestyle-related changes (3,7).…”

Aim:The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between healthy lifestyle behaviors and the risk of type 2 diabetes in healthcare professionals. Material and Methods:The study was conducted with 164 volunteering physicians and nurses employed in a Health Practice and Research Hospital in southeastern Turkey. A descriptive questionnaire, the Finnish Diabetes Risk Score and the Healthy Lifestyle Behaviors Scale were used to collect the data.Results: It was determined that the diabetes risk levels of the participants were low, while their healthy lifestyle behaviors were on a moderate level. A significant negative correlation was found between the participants' mean diabetes risk scores and their health lifestyle behavior scores (p<0.05). Accordingly, as the levels of the healthy lifestyle behaviors of the participants decreased, their risk of diabetes increased. It was found that other predictors such as the body mass index, high blood glucose and daily exercise had a cumulative effect of up to 65% on the risk of diabetes. Conclusion:Even though the participants' mean age was young, and their mean BMI was in the normal category, their low rates of daily exercise suggested that their risk of type 2 diabetes may increase in the future.
