A total of 174 healthy university students were included in the study. Hedonic hunger responses were similar at different physical activity levels. When the relationship between individuals' hedonic hunger responses and intensity of depression was examined, it was found that there was a weak positive correlation between them. Hedonic hunger can have negative effects on university students' depression status. Taking precautions to improve nutrition and physical activity in university students can be effective in preventing this problem.","PeriodicalId":48681,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Clinical Nutrition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49401353","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was found that there is an agreement between mid–upper arm circumference in the standing and supine positions. The mid–upper arm circumference has a strong and significant correlation to body mass index. The mid–upper arm circumference of less than 23.4 cm can be used as an alternative measurement to body mass index for detecting malnutrition.","PeriodicalId":48681,"journal":{"name":"Topics in Clinical Nutrition","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"61804581","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
