    Objective: The aim of this study was to make a pilot study before the study which was planned at the national level in Turkey, named as quality of life in patients with the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and its associated factors: a 2-year prospective cohort study . Methods: A questionnaire which has been developed by researchers and the ADDQoL 19 (The Audit of Diabetes - Dependent Quality of Life 19) scale which aims to determine the diabetic patients' quality of life levels were used in the study. Results: For the pilot study questionnaire was administered to 76 patients. Of the patients, 39.5% were male and 60.5% were female. The mean age of patients' was 55.39 +/- 0.89 years and 72.4% of them are with type 2 diabetes mellitus. According to the results of ADDQoL scale, the quality of life of patients was found to be adversely affected from diabetes mellitus at a rate of 96.1%. Conclusion: The purpose of studies about DM prevention and control in Turkey is Turkey with high quality of life in diabetic patients. By this pilot study, it is shown that analyzable and administrable comprehensive research can be done. Therefore, the new studies are important to shed light on the arrangements and the application.

    Impact of Individual, Familial and Parental Factors on Adolescent Smoking in Turkey
    (Mdpi, 2021) Oztekin, Coskun; Batra, Mehak; Abdelsalam, Shady; Sengezer, Tijen; Ozkara, Adem; Erbas, Bircan
    The burden of adolescent cigarette smoking is substantial. We assess mothers' and fathers' attitudes and behaviours on adolescent smoking using a cross-sectional study of n = 707 adolescents. Associations between parental attitudes and behaviours in adolescent smoking were assessed using logistic regression separately for boys and girls. Occasional alcohol use by both parents increased odds of smoking once a day (OR = 2.44, 95% CI 1.26, 4.71, OR = 1.51, 95% CI 0.97, 2.35, respectively). Fathers smoking increased odds for girls (OR = 1.59, 95% CI 1.01, 2.52). A democratic mother decreased odds for boys (OR = 0.32, 95% CI 0.10, 0.93) whereas a protective, demanding mother increased the odds for girls (OR = 8.65, 95% CI 1.38, 54.22). Public health smoking prevention programs could support changing parental behaviours and attitudes in early years to address this burden in countries with authoritarian parenting styles.

    The Effects of Diet and Exercise on HbA1c Levels in patients with Type 2 Diabetes under Oral Antidiabetic Treatment
    (Duzce Univ, 2015) Sonmez, Bilge; Aksoy, Hilal; Ozturk, Omer; Ozturk, Zeynep; Kasim, Ismail; Ozkara, Adem
    Objective: In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of diet and exercise on diabetes control in type 2 diabetics (NIDDM) who use only oral antidiabetic drugs (OAD). Methods: 217 patients with the diagnosis of NIDDM and using OAD, who admitted to family medicine outpatient clinic between December 2012 and February 2013, were included in the study. Patients were divided into four groups according to their regular diet and exercise. Group 1: Only dieting, Group 2: Only exercising, Group 3: Both dieting and exercising, Group 4: Neither dieting nor exercising. Age, duration of diabetes, body mass index (BMI) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were compared between groups. Results: The mean age of patients participating in the study was 54.5 +/- 10.0 years (p=0.878). 62.7% were women and 37.3% were men. The median duration of diabetes, mean BMI, median HbA1c levels were 36 months, 30.2 +/- 4.6 kg/m(2) and 7.1. Statistically significant difference was not detected (diabetes duration; p=0.188, BMI; p=0,163 and HbA1c; p=0,290). Median HbA1c levels of groups were 7.0; 7.3; 6.8 and 7.2 respectively. No other difference was observed in the other comparisons between groups (p>0.05). Conclusion: There are positive effects of diet and exercise on diabetes control in type 2 diabetics who use only OAD. Diet and exercise have better control in diabetes patients on OAD. However these effects are more noticeable in patients who tackle implement diet and exercise together.
