  Aim: This study aimed to assess the relationship between Mediterranean-Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet score and indicators of glucose control and lipid metabolism in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 459 patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus aged 20-64 years. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus completed a general information form and anthropometric measures. The MIND diet scores obtained from the MIND diet components form. The biochemical parameters gathered from individuals over the last three months were documented. Results: The mean age and body mass index in the study population were 49.10±10.10 years and 30.62±5.48 kg/m2. Overall, the mean MIND diet score was 8.64±1.75, and 47.10% had high adherence to the MIND diet. A significant difference was found between HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FBG) in the MIND groups, as well as a substantial negative association identified among HbA1c, FBG, and MIND scores. Conclusions: This study emphasized the significant incidence of overweight and obesity among Turkish adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Higher adherence to the MIND diet is associated with better glycemic control. Higher MIND diet scores associated with reduced HbA1c and FBG levels. However, no significant associations with the parameters of lipid metabolism were found. By emphasizing nutrient-dense foods and supporting both metabolic and psychological health, the MIND diet may represent a valuable adjunct to conventional diabetes management. Keywords.

  Determination of University Students’ Preventive Attitudes for Lung Cancer and Healthy Life Awareness and The Influencing Factors; [Üniversite Öğrencilerinin Akciğer Kanserinden Korunmaya Yönelik Tutum ve Sağlıklı Yaşam Farkındalıkları ile Etkileyen Faktörlerin Belirlenmesi]

  Demir Doğan, Melike

  Objective: This study was conducted to determine the attitudes of university students towards lung cancer screening and healthy lifestyle and the factors affecting these attitudes. Material and Method: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, data were collected from 295 students between September 2022 and February 2023 using personal information form, Healthy Living Awareness Scale, and Health Belief Model Scale for Lung Cancer and Screenings. Results: It was observed that the perception of sensitivity and perception of obstacle subscales of the Health Belief Model Scale for Lung Cancer and Screenings were higher in males than females, and those with extended families had higher perception of violence and perception of obstacle than those with nuclear families. Perception of sensitivity and perception of violence decreased as general health status improved. Sensitivity perception was higher in smokers compared to non-smokers. Health motivation was higher in non-smokers than smokers. In addition, perception of barrier was higher in alcohol consumers compared to non-consumers. As the awareness of healthy living increased, the perception of violence and perception of barrier subscales of the health belief model of lung cancer orientation decreased. Conclusion: Consequently, it was determined that the students perceived lung cancer screening as beneficial, but they were not sensitive enough to have screening. The barrier perception related to screening was low, the health motivation was high and the severity perception was moderate.
