Abstract

Objective: The Mediterranean diet is reported as a healthy eating pattern with protective effects on cardiovascular diseases, cancer, type 2 diabetes, obesity and oxidative stress related disorders. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between Mediterranean diet and obesity status in Turkish Cypriot children and adolescents.Material and Methods: Body weight, height and waist, hip and mid upper arm circumferences were performed and body mass index (BMI) was calculated for determining the overweight and obese children and adolescents. To evaluate the children's and adolescents' nutrition status by the degree of adherence to the Mediterranean diet was assessed by the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED index).Results: It was found that 22,7% of the sample was classified as high adherers of Mediterranean diet, whereas 18.3% had a poor KIDMED index. According to percentiles of BMI for age, 65.8% were between 15-85th percentiles, 18.6% were between 85-95th percentiles, and 16.2% were above 95th percentile. Also, this study has shown that there is a negative weak correlation between mean KIDMED index and BMI (p

Özet

Giriş ve Amaç: Akdeniz diyeti, kardiyovasküler hastalıklar, kanser, diyabet, obezite ve oksidatif stresle ilişkili diğer hastalıklardan koruyucu etkileri olan ve sağlıklı beslenme alışkanlıklarından oluşan bir beslenme şeklidir. Bu çalışma, KKTC'de yaşayan çocuk ve adolesanlarda Akdeniz diyetine uyum ile obezite arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Gereç ve Yöntemler: Aşırı kilolu ve obez çocukların belirlenebilmesi için vücut ağırlığı, boy uzunluğu, bel çevresi, kalça çevresi, üst orta kol çevresi ölçümleri alınmış ve vücut kütle indeksi (VKİ) değeri hesaplanmıştır. Çocuk ve adolesanlarda Akdeniz diyetine uyum Akdeniz Diyeti Kalite İndeksi (KIDMED indeksi) ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Çalışma kapsamına alınan katılımcıların % 22.7'sinin iyi, % 18.3'ünün ise düşük KIDMED indeksine sahip olduğu saptanmıştır. Yaşa göre VKİ persentil değerlerine göre çocuk ve adolesanların % 65.8'i 15-85. persentiller arasında, % 18.5'sı 85-95. persentiller arasında, % 16.2'si 95. persentilin üzerindedir. Ayrıca, KIDMED indeksi ile VKİ arasında negatif yönde zayıf ilişki belirlenmiştir (p
