Amaç: Bu çalışmada katılımcıların foliküler ve luteal fazdaki dinlenme enerji harcaması, besin alımı, besin tercihleri, yeme farkındalığı ve vücut kompozisyonlarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya, en az 6 aydır düzenli menstrual döngüye sahip ve beden kütle indeksi (BKİ)’ne göre normal 18-45 yaş aralığındaki 58 katılımcı dahil edilmiştir. Katılımcılar hem foliküler hem de luteal fazlarda dinlenme enerjisi harcaması ölçümü, vücut ağırlığı ve vücut kompozisyonu analizi için davet edilmiştir. Ayrıca, besoin tüketimi ve besin tercihleri değerlendirilmiş ve her iki fazda da Yeme Farkındalığı Ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Oksijen tüketimi (VO2) ve dinlenme enerji harcaması (DEE) ölçümleri luteal fazda foliküler faza göre anlamlı olarak yüksektir (p<0,05). Foliküler ve luteal fazlarda vücut ağırlığı ölçümleri, vücut kompozisyon analizi ve besin alımları arasında anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır (p>0.05). Yüksek proteinli, düşük yağlı besinler, yağlı besinler ve şekerli besin tercihleri luteal fazda artma eğiliminde olsa da fazlar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir fark bulunmamıştır (p>0.05). Son olarak, Yeme Farkındalığı disinhibisyon alt ölçeğinin ortalama puanı luteal fazda anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulunmuştur (p=0.004). Sonuç: Menstrual döngünün farklı evrelerindeki hormonal dalgalanmalar, besin alımını ve dinlenme metabolizma hızını etkileyebilecek önemli bir faktördür. Ancak yeme farkındalığı, yeme bozukluklarının önlenmesinde ve ağırlık yönetiminde önemlidir.

Effect of Menstrual Cycle on Resting Energy Expenditure and Food Preferences

Öz

Objective: It was aimed to evaluate the participants' resting energy expenditure, nutrient intake, food preferences, mindful eating and body composition in the follicular and luteal phase. Method: The study included 58 participants between the ages of 18-45 years, who had a stable menstrual cycle for a minimum of six months and normal body mass index (BMI). Participants were invited for resting energy expenditure, body weight and body composition analysis in both the follicular and luteal phases. Nutrient intake and food preferences were evaluated, and Mindful Eating Scale was applied in both phases. Results: Oxygen consumption (VO2) and resting energy expenditure (REE) were significantly higher in the luteal phase (p < .05). There was no significant difference between measurements of body weight and body composition analysis and nutrient intakes in both phases (p > .05). Although the preference for high-protein/low-fat foods, fatty foods and sugary foods tended to increase in the luteal phase, there was no significant difference between the phases (p > .05). Finally, it was shown that the mean score of Disinhibition subscale of Mindful Eating Scale was noticeably higher during the luteal period (p = .004). Conclusion: Changes in hormone levels during the menstrual cycle phases are an important factor to consider that may affect REE and impulsive eating. However, mindful eating strategies, dietary interventions and education programs are important in preventing the development of obesity and eating behavior disorders in predisposed individuals.
