The state policy about overweight and obesity in Turkey
Meral Aksoy
Bahcesehir University, Turkey
Overweight and obesity can be defined as body weight that is above normal for height as a result of an excessive accumulation of
fat. It is usually a manifestation of over nourishment. Overweight is defined as a body mass index (BMI) of more than 25 but
less than 30 and obesity as a BMI of 30 or more by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is well known that inappropriate diets
can give rise to obesity and diet-related non-communicable diseases such as atherosclerosis, type 2 diabetes, respiratory diseases and
certain cancers. All of these conditions are more or less determined by what we eat, and the debates about what to eat to avoid disease
are almost countless. Therefore, Nutrition Survey (2010) was intensively done by The National Health in Turkey. According to the
dates of the survey, overweight ratio between men and women adults were find to be 39% and 30% respectively. On the other hand,
obesity ratio was supplied 20% for man and 41% for women. The overweight and obesity ratio between the 1-20 years of old group
were given 18% both for boys and girls. It seems that overweight and obesity are increasing day by day in Turkey as other several
counties. Since at the beginning of millennium, the Ministry of Health has achieved the development goal obesity target plan to
reduce or prevent weight gain all over the country. The aim of this plan is that nutrition is national priority and a healthy diet should
be considered human right. Nutritional and food security should also have the same priority. Enhanced nutrition education, public
health information campaigns and healthy food supply policies are included into this plan. The main goal of nutrition education is to
inform people as to what constitutes a healthy, balanced diet, as well as how to improve their diet and lifestyle. Interventions aimed
at children in schools, contents of their food box and the school canteens in which foods are selling. Once a day, milk services are
supplied for the primary school children. Public health information campaigns are the most common type of nutrition intervention
employed in communities. Particular educational target should be mothers of young children, promoting prenatal balanced diets and
postnatal feeding practices especially breast feeding, as well as family nutrition needs. As the parent most responsible for household
nutrition and child care, women, particularly young women, are an important target for nutrition edu¬cation. Consumer poli¬cies
and appropriate nutrition labeling, which enable consumers to make informed decisions, should be further developed as well. Follow
up the strategy policy, every 10 years national nutrition surveys should be repeated.

Resistin mediates tomato and broccoli extracts effects on glucose homeostasis in high fat diet induced
obesity in rats

Resistin is an adipocyte hormone that regulates glucose metabolism. Elevated levels of resistin may cause insulin resistance. We
hypothesized that tomato and broccoli extracts treatment regulates glucose homeostasis via modulation of resistin levels in
high fat diet induced obesity rats (HFD). 63 male albino rats were divided into 8 groups as follows: control, HFD, stop fat diet (SD),
tomato 200 mg/kg (T200), tomato 400mg/kg (T400), broccoli 200 mg/kg (B200), broccoli 400 mg/kg (B400) andchromax (CX).
Treatment continued for 1 month. Serum levels of resistin, leptin, adiponectin and insulin were measured using ELISA and glucose
by spectrophotometry. Serum level of resistin was significantly reduced in T 200, T 400, B 200, B 400 and CX groups to: 4.13±0.22
ng/ml, 1.51±0.04 ng/ml, 4.13±0.22 ng/ml, 2.32±0.15 ng/ml and 1.37±0.03 ng/ml, respectively compared to HFD group and SD group
(P value<0.0001). Non-significant difference was found between T 400, B 400 and CX groups. Serum level of leptin was significantly
reduced in T 400 (22.7±0.84 Pg/ml) group compared to B 400 (41±2.45 Pg/ml) and CX groups (45.7±2.91 Pg/ml), P value<0.001.
Serum level of adiponectin was significantly increased in T 400 group (131±3.84 Pg/ml) compared to CX group (112±4.77 Pg/ml), P
value was<0.01. Our results demonstrate that tomato and broccoli extract treatment regulates glucose homeostasis via reduction of
serum resistin and may be a useful non-pharmacological therapy for obesity.
