    Associations of gender and parental factors with adolescent obesity awareness: a cross-sectional study
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2026) Saglam, Gulsah; Ozlu Karahan, Tugce; Seven Avuk, Hande
    Purpose-Childhood obesity, the incidence of which is increasing day by day, is a significant public health problem. Noncommunicable diseases increase with the increase in obesity. On the other hand, obesity awareness levels in children gain importance in the fight against obesity by contributing to a change in behavior. This study aimed to examine the level of obesity awareness in adolescents and identify its associated factors. Design/methodology/approach-The study included 372 adolescents aged 10-14 years. The energy and nutrient intakes of the adolescents were recorded by the 24-h recall method. Obesity awareness status was obtained using the Obesity Awareness Scale (OAS). Findings-It was determined that 40.6% of the participants were overweight or obese, and this rate was 36.1 and 46.1% for females and males, respectively (p = 0.092). Obesity and physical activity awareness scores and general scores of female adolescents were found to be significantly higher than those of male adolescents (p < 0.05), except for the nutrition sub-factor (p = 0.314). In multivariate linear regression analysis, maternal employment status (beta = -1.578, p = 0.045) and gender (beta = 2.066, p = 0.011) were variables significantly associated with obesity awareness. Originality/value-Increasing obesity awareness is critical in the fight against obesity in childhood and adolescence. Our results indicate that maternal factors and gender show significant associations with adolescents' obesity awareness. Parents have a significant role in the fight against obesity, and their education level should be increased; awareness projects should be implemented.

    Can There be Differences in Blood Glucose Fluctuations with Consumption of Cornbread in Obesity and Normal-Weight Individuals: A Randomized Controlled Trial
    (Springer, 2025) Cesur, Fatih; Hatunoglu, Hatice Nurseda; Saglam, Gulsah
    The study investigated the effects of whole wheat (WWB), buckwheat (BWB) and cornbread (CB) on blood glucose compared with white bread (RB). A total of 103 volunteers (nmale = 13, nfemale = 90) were divided into four groups. The sample was numbered and bread groups were formed by random selection, but the study was completed with 103 people due to exclusion criteria. Each bread type contained 30 g of available carbohydrates. Blood glucose levels were measured at 0 (fasting), 30, 60, 90, and 120 min. Using the bioimpedance method, the body fat and muscle compositions of the volunteers (male and female) were analyzed and classified as normal (in the ideal range) and obese (over the ideal range). When the AUC values of RB and CB consumption at 60 and 120 min were compared, the AUC value of CB was significantly lower (p < 0.05). When the AUC values of BWB and CB consumption at 90 and 120 min were compared, the AUC value of CB was significantly lower (p = 0.023). CB consumption was significantly lower than RB consumption in terms of blood glucose at 90 min (p = 0.043) and AUC values at 90-120 min (p = 0.022) in normal-weight individuals. It is thought that the lowering effect of CB on blood glucose levels compared to other breads may be related to the amount of amylose. Further long-term studies involving individuals with type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and obesity would provide more clarity on these findings.
