To examine the effect of health anxiety on hedonistic eating behaviors and glycemic control of
individuals with type 2 diabetes.
In this study, a survey was administered to patients with diabetes, aged 18-65, who applied to the
Endocrine Polyclinic of Ondokuzmayıs University Health Application and Research Center between
February 2024 and May 2024, and the effect of individuals' health anxiety on hedonistic eating
behaviors and glycemic control was examined. The questionnaire includes some demographic and
anthropometric information, some routine biochemical findings taken from the patient file (HbA1c,
Fasting Blood Glucose, Total Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, BUN, Creatine), disease-related data, Health
Anxiety Inventory (SAE-Short Version) and Hedonistic Eating Scale. In statistical evaluation,
Independent Sample Test, Pearson Correlation, ANOVA tests were used to analyze data that were
suitable for normal distribution, and Mann Whitney U Test and Kruskal Wallis tests were used for data
that were not suitable for normal distribution. Statistical analyzes include 95% confidence. Those with
any chronic disease other than diabetes, those who were pregnant or breastfeeding, and patients using
supplements were not included.
In our study, 91 patients with diabetes (61% men, 39% women) were evaluated and 65% of the patients
had diabetes with less than 1 letter of protection and 63% did not receive any medical treatment. The
ages to be included in the study are between 37 and 68 years old. There was no significant relationship
between their age and hedonic nutrition scores. (p = 0.59) Female gender had higher scores than men
in hedonic nutrition. (p = 0.00) There was no significant difference between genders for health anxiety.
(p = 0. .87) When HbA1c values and glycemic control are evaluated, it is seen that this has a weak
connection with health anxiety and hedonic eating behavior. (r = 0.014) While there were health and
anxiety hedonic treatment problems in women, no connection was found in men.
In our study, the effect of diabetic magnetic health anxiety on hedonic treatment was detected, but not
in men. A performance in which the open tendency towards hedonism is examined on the basis of
gender; Hedonistic openness is triggered as a way of starting with negative emotions and anxiety, as a
result of hormonal differences, perceptions of beauty created by society, and the effort to be in the ideal
process. (Opwis, 2017).
