Brief Summary

A physically active life with adequate and balanced nutrition is essential for a healthy life. Unhealthy diet and being physically inactive are among the common risk factors that need to be corrected in order to maintain and improve health. The Mediterranean diet, first described by Angel Keys, is rich in plant foods such as grains, fruits, vegetables, legumes, oilseeds and olives; The main source of added oils is olive oil; moderate-high consumption of fish and seafood, moderate-level consumption of eggs, poultry and dairy products, and low-level red meat; It is a nutrition model with moderate intake of wine / fermented beverages (such as turnip, grape juice). Preferring vegetable oils instead of animal fats, preferring fish instead of red meat consumption, preferring low-fat / fat-free milk and dairy products, limiting the intake of simple sugar and refined carbohydrates, fruit rich in fiber and antioxidants in the Mediterranean diet, which is shown as an example of healthy nutrition today. It is thought that this type of nutrition can prevent the formation of chronic diseases due to features such as increasing vegetable consumption. Determining the nutritional status and physical activity levels of individuals and their associated health outcomes; It is very important in terms of determining the current situation and determining the priority problems that need to be solved.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (4)

• Mediterranean Diet Compliance Scale (MEDAS)

  The 14-item Mediterranean Diet Adaptation Scale (MEDAS) will be used to determine the adaptation status of individuals to the Mediterranean diet. In the scale of adaptation to the Mediterranean diet, there are a total of 14 questions, 12 of which are about food consumption frequency and 2 are about food consumption habits. The score given for each question is 0 or 1 point. Then the scores are summed and the score is evaluated as ≤5 (low agreement), 6-9 (moderate agreement) and ≥10 (high agreement).

  at baseline

• International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ)

  The International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) will be used to examine physical activity status. According to the IPAQ form, in which daily activities are evaluated as sitting, walking, moderate and vigorous activities and questioning the activity status in the past week, individuals are grouped as inactive (\<600met), minimally active (600-3000met) and active (\>3000met) according to their IPAQ scores.

  at baseline

• obesity

  Body mass index will be calculated by taking the person's height and body weight information. Waist and hip circumference measurements will also be made.

  at baseline

• chronic disease

  79 / 5000 Çeviri sonuçları Participants will be asked about the presence of a chronic disease diagnosed by the physician.
