    Behaviors towards sustainable nutrition in the grip of social media addiction and hedonic hunger: A cross-sectional study
    (2025) Gürbüz, Murat; İnan, Cansu Memiç; Kenger, Emre Batuhan; Bayram, Hatice Merve
    The increasing prevalence of social media addiction has prompted concerns regarding its potential impact on hedonic eating tendencies and sustainability-related practices. This study aimed to investigate the bidirectional relationship between social media addiction, hedonic hunger, and behaviors towards sustainable nutrition among adults in Türkiye. This cross-sectional study conducted 700 (73.3% of female, mean age 29.99±10.31 years) adults between 8 October-20 November 2024 in Türkiye. An online questionnaire including demographic characteristics, Power of Food Scale (PFS), Bergen Social Media Addiction Scale (BSMAS), and Behaviors Scale towards Sustainable Nutrition (BSSN) was performed. The findings revealed a significant sex difference in BSMAS scores, with women exhibiting higher scores than men. Furthermore, a weak correlation was found between social media addiction and elevated hedonic hunger. Notably, despite the absence of a correlation between social media addiction and behaviors towards sustainable nutrition, this study observed a weak positive correlation between hedonic hunger and behaviors towards sustainable nutrition. The key predictors of behaviors towards sustainable nutrition were female sex, sustainability awareness, university education, increased hedonic hunger score, and older age, collectively accounting for 18.3% of the variance. This study highlights the complex interrelationships among social media addiction, hedonic hunger, and behaviors towards sustainable nutrition. The extensive use of social media can contribute to hedonic hunger and impulsive food choice. However, the cyclical relationship between social media addiction and hedonic hunger may have the potential to promote normative ideas about behaviors towards sustainable nutrition.

    Microbiota awareness of Turkish adults is associated with plant-based dietary patterns
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2025) Kenger, Emre Batuhan; Ozlu Karahan, Tugce; Bayram, Hatice Merve; Ozturkcan, Seyfettin Arda
    Purpose- Knowledge of microbiota and how it affects health can lead individuals to healthier lifestyle choices, such as dietary choices. The purpose of this study was to assess microbiota awareness and investigate its impact on plant-based dietary patterns, which are known to have proven benefits for both the environment and human health. In this study, the authors hypothesized that the microbiota awareness of Turkish adults may affect plant-based dietary patterns. Design/methodology/approach- A cross-sectional study was conducted among 1,676 adults (63.8% women; 27.8 +/- 13.0 years) in Turkey between March and May 2023. Data were collected using an online questionnaire that included demographic variables, anthropometric measurements, a validated microbiota awareness scale (64.7 +/- 16.8) and a semi-quantitative food frequency questionnaire (FFQ). A plant-based diet index (PDI), a healthy plant-based diet index (hPDI) and an unhealthy plant-based diet index (uPDI) were derived from dietary assessments by a validated semi-quantitative FFQ. Findings- Females had significantly higher microbiota awareness scores than males (67.3 +/- 15.7 vs 60.1 +/- 17.7, p = 0.001). Microbiota awareness scores of individuals in the second tertile (65.9 +/- 15.9) were significantly higher than those in the third tertile of uPDI (59.3 +/- 17.9) (p < 0.05). For PDI and hPDI scores, microbiota awareness scores of individuals in the first tertile were significantly lower than in the third tertile. Multivariate linear regression analyses revealed that microbiota awareness was an independent predictor for PDI (beta = 0.035, p = 0.002), hPDI (beta = 0.141, p = 0.001) and uPDI (beta = -0.158, p < 0.001). Originality/value- Considering that awareness of microbiota may result in shifting lifestyle choices such as dietary patterns, further studies are needed to determine the relationship between microbiota awareness and PDI.
