The prevalence of overweight in children has become a serious public health problem in the world. Data from the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that 41 million preschool children were overweight in 2014. It is indicated that overweight is a major problem and physical activity policies are needed to help children develop healthy behaviors. Active Start Guidelines (NASPE) and Turkey Physical activity guideline emphasize that young children should participate in daily one-hour structured and onehour unstructured physical activity. In Turkey, forty-two percent of children aged 4 to 5 years were enrolled in preschool education in 2015-2016 school years. Considering the high number of children spend their time in the school settings, preschool environment plays a critical role to promote physical activity participation. However, limited information is available about the current physical activity practices and policies at the preschool settings. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to investigate the physical activity policies in preschool settings.

A Content Analysis on the Nutritional Portrait of the Breakfast Cereal Television Advertisements Şahin, Volkan (2013-01-01) Childhood obesity and related health problems are affecting millions of children worldwide. Recent studies indicate that food/beverage TV commercials are one of the contributing factors of rising obesity rates. In the States, where the obesity rate is high, there has been a public outcry for more stringent rules regulating food related TV ads. This study investigates breakfast cereal ads which were derived from more than 1600 hours of television programming. Cereal ads were selected for this investigation p...
The Relationship Between Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions, Schwartz’s Cultural Values, and Obesity Tekeş, Burcu; Üzümcüoğlu, Yeşim; Hoe, Connie; Özkan, Türker (SAGE Publications, 2018-5-22) According to the World Health Organization, obesity is a major public health issue. In 2014, there were more than 600 million obese people around the world. According to the data of the World Health Organization, obesity rates differ among countries. One possible underlying reason of the difference can be culture, more specifically shared cultural values. The strategies and policies regarding obesity were developed; however, the effect of culture is not adequately considered. The aim of the study is to inve...
Investigation of effects of hyperlipidemia on IRE1α and insulin pathway in the cerebral cortex of ApoE-/- mice AK, Deniz; Yanık, Tülin; Department of Molecular Biology and Genetics (2022-1-20) Obesity prevalence increases worldwide. The most crucial reason for obesity is high-fat diet (HFD). Serum fatty acid levels are increased with HFD, inducing inflammation and glucose homeostasis disruption, leading to insulin signaling impairment linked to metabolic and neurodegenerative disorders in the brain. Glucose uptake of the cells is regulated by insulin through insulin receptor substrate (IRS) proteins, and disruption of this pathway results in insulin resistance. Hyperlipidemia, a lipid metabolism ...
Prediction of insulin resistance by statistical tool MARS Örsçelik, Simge Gökçe; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Osterhoff, Martin; Department of Bioinformatics (2014) Recently, following the rise in obesity prevalence, the incidence of type 2 diabetes rose remarkably. Diabetes is a serious disorder, accompanied by increased risk of developing heart disease, kidney failure, and new cases of blindness. Dietary habits are strongly related to type 2 diabetes. We sought to observe how dietary protein and glycemic index patterns, weight change and/or other predictors we selected relate to insulin resistance change. First, we applied multiple linear regression, and then statist...
The relationship between built environment and childhood asthma Aydın, Neşe; Severcan, Yücel Can (2019-09-23) The rise in asthma among children is a matter of worldwide concern. The reasons include not only genetic but also physical environmental factors such as building density, landuse, street layout, building setbacks and traffic volume. According to a report released by World Health Organization (WHO) on 2002, approximately 25.000 annual childhood deaths are due to the asthma. Studies conducted in different parts of the globe show that asthma prevalence increased over the years. Compared to all other age groups...
