As elderly people differ according to their socio-economic, health and psychological status, they can be undefended and vulnerable to many emergencies. Protection of these disadvantaged/vulnerable people from disaster risks, raising their awaren…

Biological Ancestries, Kinship Connections, and Projected Identities in Four Central Anatolian Settlements
Previous population genetics studies in Turkey failed to delineate recent historical and social factors that shaped Anatolian cultural and genetic diversity at the local level. To address this shortcoming, we conducted focused ethnohistorical fieldwork and screened biological samples collected from the Yuksekyer region for mitochondrial, Y chromosome, and autosomal markers and then analyzed the data within an ethnohistorical context. Our results …
Van Kalecik (Urartu) Toplumuna Ait Calcaneuslarda Artiküler Faset (Facies Articularis Talaris) Tipleri
Ayak bileği yedi kemikten oluşur ve tarsal kemikler olarak adlandırılır. Bilek kısmında yer alan ayak topuğuna calcaneus denir. Topuk kemiği, vücut yükünden gelen ağırlığın büyük bir kısmını taşıyan ayak bileğinin en büyük ve sağlam kemiğidir(1). Topuk kemiğinin üst yüzeyinde (superior) üç ayrı eklem yüzeyi görülür. Bunlar sırasıyla facies artikularis posterior, facies artikularis medial ve facies artikularis anteriordur(2)
Prevalence of overweight and obesity in Turkish adults
The aims of this study were to assess the prevalence and patterns of adult overweight and obesity in Turkey and discuss the impact of socio-environmental factors. A cross-sectional nationwide survey was carried out on 2100 adults (1050 males and 1050 females) aged 18 to 65 years from 7 geographic regions of Turkey.

Age-related Patterns of Upper Arm Muscle and Fat Area in Turkish Children and Assessment of Nutritional Status
Anthropometric estimation of midarm muscularity and fatness was employed as a general index of nutritional status in developing countries. The present study attempts to evaluate the sex- and age-related pattern of regional muscle and fat area characteristics in Turkish children. A cross-sectional study was carried out on 1,068 10- to 14-year-old children (583 boys and 485 girls) from junior high schools in Ankara, the capital city of Turkey. Acco…

Growth of children living in the outskirts of Ankara
It is suggested that the lower growth status of children living in the outskirts of Ankara is attributable to the poor socio-economic status of this suburban population, which has not changed over the past decades. It is postulated that the growth impairment during adolescence might be due to a reduced tempo of growth in these children
Implications of Dental Caries in Anatolia
Gender Differences in Fat Patterning in Children Living in Ankara
Body composition is an excellent indicator for assessing obesity and nutritional status of both individuals and populations. Youth obesity has important health and social implications, because a large proportion of adult obesity has its origin in childhood. Numerous studies report that adverse levels of cardiovascular diseases risk factors are associated with adiposity in children. Concerning the Turkish population there is up to now only limited…
