The Relationship Between Religious Perceptions and Nutrition; The Case of Istanbul Center

Öz

Aim: The aim of this study is to Investigating the relationship of Abrahamic Religions on perceptions, nutrition and The Healthy Eating Index (HEI) in Istanbul. The importance of this study is not only the lack of sufficient studies in the literature but also being the unique and the first study on this topic in Turkey. In addition, it is important in terms of revealing the effects of the nutritional effects of religious differences on national health policies globally and reducing the social burden by decreasing the unhealthy nutritional status that may occur in this way. Material and Methods: The data were collected by a survey containing 24 questions on the demographic characteristics, their religious perceptions, the effects of their religious perception on nutrition and their HEI. For the participants who did not speak Turkish, questionnaire was also conducted in English. The Healthy Eating Index was used to assess healthy eating status of the 330 participants. Results: The distribution of 330; 33% Christians, 33.6% Jews, and 33.3% Muslims and 65.5% of the participants are women and 34.5% are men. 81,4% of Christians were consuming the most “forbidden foods”. Jews by 47.4% agreed the most with the idea “they have the stricter diet rules”. Christians by 65.4% agreed the most “everyone can consume any food”. Muslims, by 87.2%, fasting the most. Christians by 41.2% believed “fasting does affect the health”. The HEI distribution showed a significant difference (p<0.05), the highest quality rate was among Muslims as 59.2%. It was observed that there was a significant difference (p <0.05) between the groups with Body Mass Index (BMI), and obesity was the highest in Christians (55.9%). Muslims have the highest rate to ensure that the origin of the food brands are the same of the belief of individuals by 95.5%. Conclusion: In this study, the ones who had the highest HEI scores and religious rules affected their eating habits the most are the Muslims; members of Islam. This result may also be related to the awareness of the participants on healthy nutrition, their attitudes towards applying the rules of the religion they belong to, and similar factors. More comprehensive studies are needed on the effect of religions on individuals’ eating habits.
