    Effects of sleep quality, income level and comorbid conditions on quality of life in a Turkish elderly population: A multicentre study
    (Geriatrics Society, 2015) Gündüz E.; Eskin F.; Gündüz M.; Bentli R.; Selçuk E.B.; Zengin Y.; İcer M.
    Introduction: Our aim is to investigate the effects of sleep quality, income level and comorbid conditions on Quality of Life in a Turkish elderly population. Materials and Method: This multicentric study was performed in seven districts. A total of 1030 patients older than 65 years of age who applied to the internal medicine and geriatrics outpatient clinics of study centres between January and December 2014 were included. All patients underwent the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and Quality of Life Assessment (Short Form 36) tests viaface to face interview method. The demographic properties of patients were also recorded during this interview. Results: The mean Quality of Life subscale scores, except for vitality, were significantly lower (p<0.001) in patients with poor sleep quality. When analysing the relationship between Quality of Life and multiple chronic diseases, it was observed that patients having multiple chronic diseases had significantly lowered scores in three subscales (physical functioning, mental health and bodily pain; p=0.04, p=0.04, p=0.01, respectively). There were significant differences between patients with high versus low income level with respect to the mean physical functioning, mental health and bodily pain subscales (p=0.01). Conclusion: Our study demonstrated an adverse effect of low sleep quality, multiple chronic disorders and low income level on Quality of Life. © 2015, Geriatrics Society. All rights reserved.

    Morphological diversity on fruit characteristics among some selected mulberry genotypes from Turkey
    (2012) Yilmaz K.U.; Zengin Y.; Ercisli S.; Demirtas M.N.; Kan T.; Nazli A.R.
    Turkey has important mulberry genetic resources. In contrast to the other mulberry producing countries, in Turkey mulberry tree is used only for fruit production not for sericulture purposes. Some selected morphological fruit characteristics such as seed formation, fruit weight, SSC (Soluble solid content), titratable acidity, juice yield and pH of 34 selected mulberry genotypes found together in an ex-situ collection parcel in Malatya Fruit Research Institute in Turkey were investigated. The collection parcel has been established in 1996 year with 3×5 m row spacing. The morphological fruit characteristics are represented of 3 years average data (2006-2008). The results showed that there were big differences among genotypes in terms of most of the fruit characteristics. Fruit weight varied from 0.66 (Istanbul dutu 2) to 3.07 (Gumushaci beyaz); SSC varied from 17.33% (Erzincan karadut 16) to 30.67% (Lokum dut); titratable acidity varied from 0.06% (Angut 9) to 1.62% (Gumushaci karadut 8) and pH varied from 2.19 (Kemaliye karadut 9) to 5.86 (Mersin mor dut), respectively.
