SUMMARY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to adapt the lifestyle questionnaire related to cancer in Turkish and investigate its validity and reliability. METHODS: This methodological study was conducted on 1,196 participants. Cronbach's α was used to assess validity and reliability. The internal consistency was evaluated using item-total correlation. RESULTS: The normed chi-square in this study was 5.87. The root mean square error of approximation was calculated as 0.051. The comparative fit index and the Tucker-Lewis Index were 0.83 and 0.81, respectively. The split-half method was used to test the reliability of the scale (Part 1 Cronbach's α: 0.826, Part 2 Cronbach's α: 0.812, and Adjusted Cronbach's α: 0.881). CONCLUSION: The Turkish version of lifestyle questionnaire related to cancer (8 subscales, 41 items) is a reliable and valid measure to evaluate lifestyle behaviors related to cancer in adults.

Aims: This study aimed to compare the environmental impacts and diet qualities of popular diet models with the recommendations of the Turkish national dietary guidelines. Methods: Seven-day isocaloric (8368 kJ) diet models were created taking into account the Mediterranean, Atkins (20/40/100), Ornish, Zone diets, and Turkey Dietary Guidelines-2015 recommendations with different food and nutrient contents. Water footprints were evaluated using the global water footprint standards. Greenhouse gas emissions were evaluated using carbon footprint factors compiled as a result of meta-analyses of life cycle analysis studies in the literature. In addition, the quality of diets was evaluated with the Diet Quality Index-International. Results: Atkins20 diet model had the most harmful environmental impact (greenhouse gas emissions 8.74 kg CO2-eq/per/day and total water footprint 7731 L/per/day), whereas Ornish and Mediterranean diet models (greenhouse gas emissions 2.2/3.07 kg CO2-eq/per/day and total water footprints 3184/ 3675 L/per/day, respectively) had less harmful environmental impact. The highest Diet Quality Index-International score was in the Ornish diet model while the lowest Diet Quality Index-International was in the Atkins20 diet model. Conclusion: Ornish and Mediterranean diet models had less harmful environmental impacts, which contributed to sustainable nutrition. The importance of diet quality and environmental impacts should be kept in mind when evaluating diet models to ensure sustainable nutrition.

Amac: Bu calisma Erciyes Universitesi ogrencilerinde ogrenim turu ve cinsiyetin gece yeme sendromuna GYS etkisini belirlemek amaciyla planlanmistir. Calisma Plani: Calismanin verileri Aralik 2017 ve Mart 2018 aylari arasinda Gece Yeme Anketi kullanilarak toplanmistir. Orneklem buyuklugu tabakali sistematik ornekleme yontemi kullanilarak hesaplanmistir. Erciyes Universitesi Sosyal ve Beseri Bilimler Etik Kurulu’ndan calismanin yurutulmesi icin gerekli izin alinmistir 28/11/2017–59 . Calismanin sonucunu etkileyebileceginden dolayi Tip ve Saglik Bilimleri ile ilgili fakulteler dâhil edilmemistir. Normal dagilima uygunluk Shapiro-Wilk testi ile degerlendirilmistir. Nicel veriler aritmetik ortalama x¯ standart sapma ± SS , nitel veriler sayi n ve yuzde % olarak gosterilmistir. Gruplarin nicel degiskenlerinin karsilastirilmasinda Student-t testi, nitel degiskenlerinin karsilastirilmasinda ise ki-kare testi kullanilmistir. Bulgular: Calismaya toplam 1024 ogrenci dahil edilmistir. Ogrencilerin %54,3’u erkek, %45,7’si kadin olup, %60,4’u birinci ogrenim ve %39,6’si ikinci ogrenim olarak egitim almaktadir. Sigara kullaniminin gorulme sikligi %32 iken, alkol kullaniminin gorulme sikligi %19,3’tur. Ogrencilerin %66’sinda GYS goruldugu ve Gece Yeme Anketinden alinan toplam puanin 26,41±4,42 oldugu bulunmustur. Cinsiyet ve ogrenim turu ile GYS gorulme durumu arasinda anlamli bir iliskiye rastlanmamistir. Benzer sekilde, yas, agirlik, boy ve beden kutle indeksi BKI ile GYS gorulme durumu arasinda anlamli bir iliskiye rastlanmamistir. Sigara kullanan ogrencilerde GYS gorulme sikligi sigara kullanmayan ogrencilerde GYS gorulme sikligina gore anlamli olarak daha fazladir p=0,009 . Ancak, alkol kullanimi ile GYS gorulme sikligi arasinda anlamli bir iliski bulunmamistir. Sonuc: Universite ogrencileri arasinda gece yeme sendromu gorulme sikliginin oldukca yuksek oldugu ortaya konmustur. Bu nedenle universite ogrencileri arasinda gece yeme sendromu gibi yeme bozukluklarinin gorulme sikligi saptanarak gerekli onlemler alinmalidir.
